つた。 In this type of vehicle, the driver's seat is usually made to be seated in a chair-style manner, so it has a weaker function of holding the driver's body in place than the driver's seat of a normal motorcycle, which is seated in a straddling manner. As a result, the driver is unable to perform a so-called knee grip, in which the driver's seat, fuel tank, etc. are held between both feet, and the driver sometimes feels uneasy when driving at high speeds or on rough roads. Another problem was that it was difficult to use the body to tilt the vehicle body when making a sharp turn (banking).

つて車体をバンクさせるのに一層都合が良い。 In this embodiment, the driver sits on the driver's seat section 40 and places his left and right feet together on the footrest 32 of the footrest plate 28. In this state, the lower surfaces of the thighs A of both legs are held in contact with the thigh support surfaces on both sides of the protrusion 48, as shown in FIG. The portion 48 enters, and this raised portion 48 can be clamped between the thighs A, A. Therefore, the driver can restrict the movement of the driver's body from side to side by means of the protruding portion 48, and can stabilize the driving posture by creating a state substantially similar to that of a knee grip. Also, especially when driving at high speeds or on rough roads, place both feet on the driver's seat.
8 to the rear from the front end of the inclined footrest 3.
Put it on 6. At this time, as shown in FIG. 4, the position of the driver's knees becomes lower, so the lower surface of the thigh A pushes down the thigh support surfaces on both sides of the raised part 48, and the raised part 48 It bites deeply between the thighs A, A, and the raised portion 48 can be held more securely. Therefore, it is more convenient to bank the vehicle body.
