摘要

In a sports type, saddle type electric vehicle, to a drive wheel (4) is enabled to be driven without intermediation by an additional element, such as an idle shaft, while achieving a reduction in cost by making use of a plurality of existing motors. A drive motor (3) as a drive source for traveling has a plurality of motor bodies (3a, 3b) arranged coaxially with and adjacently to each other in the vehicle width direction to permit integral driving thereof, and is disposed forwardly of a pivot for a swing arm supporting the driving wheel. One end in the vehicle width direction of a drive shaft (39) of the drive motor (3) is made to be an output end for output to the driving wheel, and a drive sprocket (58a) for power transmission to the driving wheel is provided at the output end. The center (center line MCL) of the drive motor (3) in the vehicle width direction is disposed with an offset to the side opposite to the side of the drive sprocket (58a) with reference to the vehicle body center (center line CL).
