Abstract
A land vehicle includes a frame structure, a plurality of wheels supported by the frame structure, and a body supported by the frame structure. The frame structure includes an operator cage that at least partially defines an operator cabin and a rear compartment positioned rearward of the operator cage in a longitudinal direction. The body includes a first sidewall arranged on one side of the vehicle and a second sidewall arranged on another side of the vehicle opposite the first sidewall.

An electric vehicle comprising:
- a frame structure including an operator cage that at least partially defines an operator cabin and a rear compartment positioned rearward of the operator cage in a longitudinal direction;
- at least one electric motor supported by the frame structure to generate rotational power to drive movement of the electric vehicle;
- a cap roof supported by the frame structure that includes a unitary structure which covers the operator cage and the rear compartment, and
- a canopy at least partially movable relative to the cap roof along a pair of roof rails coupled to the cap roof,
- wherein the cap roof and the canopy cooperate to at least partially define a storage recess therebetween.
