Vehicle with linkage mechanism

A vehicle including an air bag, the vehicle comprising:

• a handlebar connected to a steering shaft;
• a body frame supporting the steering shaft so that the steering shaft is rotatable;
• a left front wheel and a right front wheel respectively disposed at a left and a right of the vehicle when seen from a front of the vehicle, the left front wheel and the right front wheel being steerable;
• a left shock absorber that supports the left front wheel on a lower portion of the left shock absorber and buffers an impact on the left front wheel in a top-bottom direction of the body frame;
• a right shock absorber that supports the right front wheel on a lower portion of the right shock absorber and buffers an impact on the right front wheel in the top-bottom direction of the body frame;
• a linkage mechanism including
• a right side member that supports an upper portion of the right shock absorber so that the upper portion of the right shock absorber is rotatable about a right steering axis extending in the top-bottom direction of the body frame,
• a left side member that supports an upper portion of the left shock absorber so that the upper portion of the left shock absorber is rotatable about a left steering axis parallel to the right steering axis, and
• a plurality of cross members having right end portions that support the right side member so that the right side member is rotatable about a right axis extending in a front-rear direction of the body frame, left end portions that support the left side member so that the left side member is rotatable about a left axis parallel to the right axis, and intermediate portions supported on the body frame so that the intermediate portions are rotatable about an intermediate axis parallel to the right axis and the left axis;
• and
• an air bag housing part having a bottom surface, side surfaces, and a housing space having an opening, the housing space being defined by the bottom surface and the side surfaces and being surrounded by the side surfaces, the housing space housing the air bag in an undeployed state, wherein
• the air bag housing part is located behind the linkage mechanism in the front-rear direction and below an upper end of the handlebar in the top-bottom direction,
• at least a part of the air bag housing part is located above a lower end of a movable region of the right side member, the left side member, and the plurality of cross members of the linkage mechanism, and
• the bottom surface of the air bag housing part is disposed along a surface including a rear portion of the movable region when seen from a side of the vehicle.
