Small vehicle

Abstract

To provide a small-sized vehicle in which a convenient pocket is provided in a single driver's seat portion. Furthermore, a brake master cylinder is disposed by making effective use of space without reduction of the capacity of the pocket, and the maintenance of a reservoir tank of the brake master cylinder thus disposed is ensured. A meter cover portion is disposed in a pocket of an inner panel at a position offset rightwardly from the center in the width direction of the vehicular body to form small and large capacity pocket parts on the right and left sides of the vehicle. A brake pedal is disposed on the right side of a steering column extending in an approximate center line in the width direction of the vehicular body, and a brake master cylinder connected to the brake pedal is disposed behind the meter cover portion. Such a layout is advantageous since it allows a driver to easily operate the pedals while ensuring the pocket capacity. Furthermore, the layout allows connection of the brake pedal to the brake master cylinder in series with a simple mechanism.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a small vehicle with about 1 or 2 passengers, in particular to a small vehicle with a relatively narrow width of a single driver's seat. Background technique [0002] In recent years, in order to reduce exhaust and reduce energy consumption, small vehicles for one or two people have been developed and put into practical use. [0003] This small vehicle, such as an engine or an electric motor (or an engine and an electric motor) with a small displacement as a power source, can be used as a tool with few people, low fuel consumption, and low displacement. [0004] As such a small vehicle, for example, a small vehicle described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-286348 is known. [0005] This small vehicle is a frame-shaped body frame made of metal pipes such as aluminum, covered with a resin body cover divided into upper and lower halves. The upper body cover constitutes the roof, and the lower body cover con...

Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, in this small vehicle, due to the small body and limited space, it is difficult to meet the requirements of the equipment.

Especially in small vehicles with a single-seat driver's seat (including other passenger seats in the rear that are integrated into a series of multiple seats), the driver's seat part has a narrow width and is equipped with a steering wheel, instrument, accelerator pedal, and brake pedal. When the vehicle must be equipped, the remaining space is extremely limited
