Since the fuel pump 81 is locked on the installation opening 83 in an inclined manner, the installation portion 811 of the fuel pump 81 will be oriented towards the maintenance opening 61. At this time, the maintenance engineer can reach in through the maintenance opening 61 to inspect or repair the fuel pump 81, which can facilitate the inspection and maintenance of the fuel pump 81.

[0087] like Fig. 9 , 10 11, in a further embodiment of the present invention, the battery D of the scooter 2 is arranged at the front end of the storage box 6 and is located below the front end of the driver's seat 5, thereby making the storage space of the storage box 6 larger; the battery D is arranged at a position where the mounting portion 811 of the fuel pump 81 faces the upper rear of the vehicle body; a shielding portion 63 is extended at the front end of the storage box 6, and the battery D is supported by a bracket D1 connected to the frame unit 3; a maintenance hole 64 is provided on the shielding portion 63, and a maintenance cover 65 is provided on the maintenance hole 64; when the fuel pump 81 is to be inspected or repaired, the maintenance engineer first opens the driver's seat 5, opens the maintenance cover 65 and takes out the battery D and the bracket D1, because the fuel pump 81 is locked to the mounting opening 83 in a manner tilted toward the rear of the vehicle body. Therefore, the mounting portion 811 of the fuel pump 81 will be oriented toward the maintenance hole 64, and the maintenance engineer can then reach in through the maintenance hole 64 to inspect or repair the fuel pump 81, thereby facilitating the inspection and repair of the fuel pump 81. It should also be mentioned that in other embodiments, when the fuel pump 81 is to be inspected or repaired, the maintenance engineer can remove the driver's seat 5, the storage box 6, the battery D, and the bracket D1 to inspect and repair the fuel pump 81. Since the fuel pump 81 is locked to the mounting opening 83 in a manner tilted toward the rear of the vehicle body, the driver's seat 5, the storage box 6, the battery D, and the bracket D1 have been removed, and the maintenance engineer can easily inspect or repair the fuel pump 81.

[0088] The main effect of the present invention is that the scooter 2 at least includes a frame unit 3 and a body cover unit 4 covering the outer periphery of the frame unit 3; the frame unit 3 is provided with a storage box 6 and a driver's seat 5 covered on the storage box 6; the frame unit 3 is provided with a tunnel portion 36 with a storage space in front of and below the driver's seat 5; the body cover unit 4 has a footrest 44 that can be covered on the tunnel portion 36; a fuel tank 8 is installed in the tunnel portion 36 in a manner of being inclined from the front of the vehicle body to the rear of the vehicle body; the fuel tank 8 has a refueling port 82 located at a high position and a mounting port 83 located at a low position; a fuel pump 81 is installed in the mounting port 83, and the fuel pump 81 is locked on the mounting port 83 by a mounting portion 811, and the mounting portion 811 is locked on the mounting port 83 in the direction of the storage box 6; and when viewed from the vehicle body, the mounting portion 811 overlaps with the driver's seat 5.
