Abstract
An improved enclosed electric motorcycle has an electric motor directly driving the rear wheel with a chain or a belt. A pair of steering handles and an accelerator foot pedal enables a driver to drive the motorcycle like an automobile. The pair of the landing wheel assemblies individually has a take-up assembly to reduce their sprung weights, and has an electric motor to increase reliability. By adding a pair of anti-skid wheels, the driver can avoid many accidents. An inflatable safety belt and a pair of side airbags will protect the driver in an accident. If the battery pack explodes, it will be ejected away from the motorcycle to protect the driver. A drive-in electric engaging device enables the driver to drive the motorcycle to engage with a stationary charging station for charging its battery pack while parking.
