<p>A hybrid saddled vehicle wherein the vehicle has increased design freedom achieved by enabling the drive mechanism for an electric motor to be compactly disposed and wherein the output of the electric motor is increased. A hybrid saddled vehicle (1) is provided with: a drive power transmitting mechanism (62) for transmitting the power of the internal combustion engine (E) to the drive shaft (52) of the rear wheel (WR) from one side of a swing arm (7) in the widthwise direction of the vehicle; and an electric motor (63) disposed on the other side in the widthwise direction of the vehicle and transmitting the drive power from the other side in the widthwise direction of the vehicle. The motor housing (90) of the electric motor (63) is pivotably supported, through a pair of bearing sections (91, 92) disposed on both sides of the motor housing (90) in the widthwise direction of the vehicle, by the portion (52c) of the drive shaft (52) which is extended to the other side in the widthwise direction of the vehicle from the portion (52b) of the drive shaft (52) to which the rear wheel (WR) is mounted. A rotor (94) is pivotably supported by the drive shaft (52) at a position between the pair of bearing sections (91, 92).</p> |
