MANUFACTURING METHOD OF HEAD BOX OF MOTORCYCLE, AND AIR-INTAKE DEVICE OF MOTORCYCLE
An air-intake device comprises a vehicle body frame including a head box; and a pair of right and left main frames, wherein the head box includes: a casing section which extends between a front opening and a rear opening of the head box and is formed with a main air passage; and a pair of right and left extending sections coupled to the pair of main frames, respectively, wherein at least one extending section is provided with a branch air passage which branches from the main air passage, and wherein a separating wall is provided between the main air passage and the branch air passage and has a communication hole, and wherein when a vehicle body is viewed from a side, at least one extending section is extended rearward to a location at which at least a front region of the communication hole is covered by the extending section.
Engine cooling structure for motorcycle
A front fender is provided in front of an air-cooled engine which is a drive source of a motorcycle. An air introduction hole which opens frontward is formed at a front part of a cylinder head of the air-cooled engine. A space around a plug attachment portion for a spark plug and a space in front of the cylinder head communicate with each other through the air introduction hole. A guide portion for guiding incoming wind toward the air introduction hole is formed at a rear part of the front fender.
Solar powered electric vehicle system and method
A solar-powered vehicle that includes a body having opposing sides and defining a cavity; two or more wheels; a first and second solar panel assembly respectively disposed on the opposing sides of the body; one or more electric motor disposed within the cavity of the body between the first and second solar panel assemblies, the one or more electric motors configured to rotate at least one of the two or more wheels; and one or more electric battery disposed within the cavity of the body between the first and second solar panel assemblies, the one or more electric batteries configured to power the one or more electric motors and to be charged by electric current generated by the first and second solar panel assemblies.
Two-wheeled vehicle
A two-wheeled vehicle includes a frame assembly having a front end and a rear end extending along a longitudinally-extending centerline, a front ground-engaging member operably coupled to the front end of the frame assembly at a front rotational axis, and a rear ground-engaging member operably coupled to the rear end of the frame assembly at a rear rotational axis. A wheel base is defined between the front and rear rotational axes and a vertically-extending centerline of the vehicle extends vertically at the midpoint of the wheel base and is perpendicular to the longitudinally-extending centerline. The vehicle also includes a fuel tank, an airbox assembly, and a battery all positioned relative to the vertically-extending centerline of the vehicle.

GEARED MOTOR FOR VEHICLE
A motor is to be mounted on a vehicle as a drive source. The motor includes a motor shaft extending in an axial direction, a drive gear provided on the motor shaft, a gear shaft extending in the axial direction, a driven gear provided on the gear shaft and coupled to the drive gear, a rotating member, an inner bearing that supports the gear shaft, and an outer bearing that supports the gear shaft. The rotating member is provided on the gear shaft and is configured to be coupled to a power transmission member that transmits power to a wheel of the vehicle. The rotating member is located between the inner bearing and the outer bearing in the axial direction.
Straddled vehicle
A straddled vehicle including a radiator, a radiator fan disposed behind the radiator and configured to generate air passing through the radiator and flowing rearward, a fan cover disposed behind the radiator fan and including a lateral blowing port configured to blow out sidewards the air flowing rearward from the radiator, a side cover covering the radiator laterally and having an opening formed therein, an inner panel disposed between the side cover and the radiator, to thereby define an accommodation space between the inner panel and the side cover, and an electrical component disposed in the accommodation space. The inner panel includes a slope that is located rearward of the radiator, slants with respect to aright-and-left direction of the straddled vehicle, is configured to lead the air blown out from the lateral blowing port to the opening in the side cover, and divides the accommodation space.
