Abstract
In a fuel-cell two-wheeled vehicle, a cooling liquid pouring pipe extending from a pipe line of a cooling system to a cooling liquid supply port member is provided in a winding path so as to pass both side portions, a front portion, and a left rear portion of an axis of a head pipe. The cooling liquid supply port member is located on a central axis of width of the vehicle in the vicinity behind the head pipe. A hydrogen sensor for sensing hydrogen gas in the cooling liquid pouring pipe is mounted on an inside surface of a cap for closing an opening. The cap is removably provided.
Claims4
A two-wheeled vehicle powered by electric power generated by supplying reaction gas and hydrogen gas to a fuel cell and including liquid cooling system for cooling the fuel cell, said two-wheeled vehicle comprising:
- a head pipe supporting a front fork for a front wheel in a way as to freely steer the front fork;
- and
- a hydrogen sensor provided longitudinally between the head pipe and a seat and closer to the head pipe than the seat and for sensing hydrogen gas leaking from the fuel cell.
