以下、図中の矢印Fは車両100の前方向を示し、矢印Bは車両100の後方向を示す。矢印Uは車両100の上方向を示し、矢印Dは車両100の下方向を示す。矢印Rは車両100の右方向を示し、矢印Lは車両100の左方向を示す。なお、車両100は、車体フレーム110を鉛直に対して車両100の左右方向に傾斜させて旋回する。そこで、車両100の方向とは別に車体フレーム110を基準とした方向を定めている。図中の矢印FFは車体フレーム110を基準とした前方向を示し、矢印FBは車体フレーム110を基準とした後方向を示す。矢印FUは車体フレーム110を基準とした上方向を示し、矢印FDは車体フレーム110を基準とした下方向を示す。矢印FRは車体フレーム110を基準とした右方向を示し、矢印FLは車体フレーム110を基準とした左方向を示す。明細書において、車両100の前後方向、車両100の上下方向、車両100の左右方向とは、車両100を運転する乗員から見た前後、左右、上下の方向であり、車両100を基準とした方向である。また、明細書において、車体フレーム110の前後方向、車体フレーム110の上下方向、車体フレーム110の左右方向とは、車両100を運転する乗員から見た前後、左右、上下の方向であり、車体フレーム110を基準とした方向である。車幅方向中央とは、車両100の左右方向の車幅の中央を意味する。言い換えると、車両100の左右方向中央のことである。また、明細書において、直立状態とは、車体フレーム110の上下方向が鉛直と一致している状態であり、且つ、ハンドル160が転舵していない状態を示す。ハンドル160が転舵していない状態とは、平面視で前輪部の回転軸が車体フレーム110の前後方向に直交する状態を示す。ハンドル160が転舵していない状態とは、言い換えれば、図5に示すように、ステアリングシャフト161を回転させていない状態、または、ハンドル160が回転していない状態である。直立状態では、車両100の方向と車体フレーム110の方向は一致する。なお、車体フレーム110を鉛直に対して左右方向に傾斜させて旋回しているときは、車両100の左右方向と車体フレーム110の左右方向は一致しない。また、車両100の上下方向と車体フレーム110の上下方向も一致しない。しかし、車両100の前後方向と車体フレーム110の前後方向は一致する。
図4は、左前輪、右前輪、リンク機構およびその周辺を示す正面図である。図5は、左前輪、右前輪、リンク機構およびその周辺を示す平面図である。図6は、車両が傾斜したときのリンク機構およびその周辺の状態を示す正面図である。図7は、ハンドルの向きを変えたときのリンク機構およびその周辺の状態を示す平面図である。
ハンドル160と左前輪131Lおよび右前輪131Rとの間には、操舵機構が設けられている。操舵機構は、ステアリングシャフト161、中央操舵アーム162、タイロッド165、左操舵アーム163、右操舵アーム164、左緩衝装置150L、および、右緩衝装置150Rを有している。
図8は、センタースタンドの固定構造を説明する斜視図である。図9は、センタースタンドの固定構造を説明する平面図である。
図10は、センタースタンドの配置を説明する側面図である。図10においては、車両100が左右方向に傾斜したときの左前輪131Lと右前輪131Rとを2点鎖線で示している。
図12は、センタースタンドの周辺装置を示す模式図である。
以上のように、実施形態の車両100においては、ペダル195に荷重が掛けられ、且つ、ハンドル160の左グリップ168Lおよび右グリップ168Rに後方へ向かう力が掛けられることで、センタースタンド190が使用姿勢へ転換されるように構成される。よって、利用者は、ハンドル160の左グリップ168Lおよび右グリップ168Rを左手および右手でそれぞれ持った状態で、ペダル195に荷重を掛け、且つ、両腕を後方に引く力を与えることで、センタースタンド190を使用姿勢に転換することができる。よって、傾斜可能な車体フレーム110を備えた車両100のセンタースタンド190を、従来採用されている車両の後部を上方に引き上げる方法と異なる操作方法で格納姿勢から使用姿勢に転換することができる。
