Abstract
A vehicle including a first frame extending in a front-rear direction from a front wheel to a rear wheel, a second frame, a steering part supported by the second frame, a support portion movably supporting the steering part about a pivot axis so that the steering part is positioned above the front wheel when the vehicle is in a traveling posture and is positioned above the rear wheel when the vehicle is in a folded posture, and a movement restriction portion provided near the rear wheel so as to restrict a movement of the steering part toward the rear wheel when the posture of the vehicle changes from the traveling posture to the folded posture.
Claims8
A vehicle configured to be capable of changing a posture between a traveling posture and a folded posture obtained by folding from the traveling posture, comprising:
- a front wheel arranged on a center line extending in a front-rear direction;
- a pair of left and right rear wheels arranged on both sides in a left-right direction of the center line;
- a first frame extending in the front-rear direction from the front wheel to the pair of left and right rear wheels and having a front frame and a rear frame;
- a second frame;
- a steering part supported by the second frame;
- a connecting part configured to swingably connect the front frame and the rear frame in the left-right direction about an axial line extending in the front-rear direction;
- a support portion configured to movably support the steering part about a pivot axis so that the steering part is positioned above the front wheel when the vehicle is in the traveling posture and the steering part is positioned above the pair of left and right rear wheels when the vehicle is in the folded posture;
- and
- a movement restriction portion provided near the pair of left and right rear wheels so as to restrict a movement of the steering part toward the pair of left and right rear wheels when the posture of the vehicle changes from the traveling posture to the folded posture through a contact of the steering part on both sides in the left-right direction of axial line.
