locomotive

Abstract

A motorcycle includes a body, an engine, and at least one controller. The body includes a frame, a storage compartment mounted on the frame, and a cover mounted on the frame. The at least one controller is located between the storage compartment and the cover in a left-right direction and has a cable exit direction extending in a front-rear or vertical direction. The at least one controller includes a first end edge and a second end edge spaced apart from the first end edge along the cable exit direction. The second end edge, located at the front or lower, is positioned inward relative to the first end edge. This design allows the at least one controller to fit snugly against the sloping shape of the cover, thus accommodating the at least one controller without increasing the width of the cover or making room for it, maintaining the vehicle's aesthetics and improving passenger leg comfort.

Claims

1. A motorcycle, comprising: a body including a frame, a storage box disposed on the frame, and a body cover disposed on the frame and partially located on the left and right sides outside the frame and the storage box; an engine disposed on the frame; and at least one controller located between the storage box and the body cover in a left-right direction, and having a cable-out direction extending in a front-rear or vertical direction, the at least one controller including a first end edge and a second end edge spaced apart from the first end edge along the cable-out direction and closer to the motorcycle body in the left-right direction than the first end edge, wherein when the cable-out direction extends in a front-rear direction, the first end edge is located behind the second end edge, and when the cable-out direction extends in a vertical direction, the first end edge is located above the second end edge.

2. The locomotive as claimed in claim 1 includes a plurality of controllers disposed on the frame and located on opposite sides of the storage compartment in the left-right direction, wherein the cable outlet of the controller located on one side of the storage compartment extends in the front-back direction, and the cable outlet of the controller located on the other side of the storage compartment extends in the up-down direction.

3. The locomotive as claimed in claim 2 further includes an air filter for supplying air to the engine, the air filter having an external intake located in a left-right direction between the two sides of the storage compartment, and the controllers located in a left-right direction on opposite sides of the external intake.

4. The locomotive as described in claim 3, wherein, The external intake of the air filter is located within the width of the air filter.

5. The locomotive as described in claim 1, wherein, The vehicle frame has two side tubes located on the outside of the storage compartment in the left-right direction, and the projection of the at least one controller in the up-down direction at least partially overlaps on at least one of the side tubes.

6. The locomotive as described in claim 2, wherein, The vehicle frame has two side tubes located on the outside of the storage compartment in the left-right direction, and each controller is located at least partially between one of the side tubes and the vehicle cover in the left-right direction.

7. The locomotive as described in claim 2, wherein, The vehicle frame has two side tubes located on the outside of the storage compartment in a left-right direction. The controllers are located in pairs on opposite sides of the storage compartment in a left-right direction. One set of controllers is located at least partially between the storage compartment and one of the side tubes in a left-right direction, and the other set of controllers is located at least partially between the storage compartment and the other side tube in a left-right direction.

8. The locomotive as described in claim 1, wherein, The vehicle body has a front section tapering that gradually narrows from back to front in the left-right direction. The at least one controller also has a coupler disposed on the second end edge and located in the left-right direction between the front section tapering and the storage compartment.

9. The locomotive as described in claim 1, wherein, The vehicle body has a lower section tapering in width from top to bottom in the left-right direction, and the at least one controller also has a coupler disposed on the second end edge and located in the left-right direction between the lower section tapering and the storage compartment.

10. The locomotive as described in claim 2, wherein, The vehicle body has a front section tapering portion whose width gradually decreases from back to front in the left-right direction, and a lower section tapering portion whose width gradually decreases from top to bottom in the left-right direction. The controller, whose cable outlet direction extends in the front-rear direction, also has a coupler disposed on the second end edge and located in the left-right direction between the front section tapering portion and the storage compartment. The controller, whose cable outlet direction extends in the vertical direction, also has a coupler disposed on the second end edge and located in the left-right direction between the lower section tapering portion and the storage compartment.
