Title:
MOTORCYCLE TRAVEL DEVICE FOR IRREGULAR GROUND SUCH AS SNOWY GROUND
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2016016700
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a motorcycle travel device that enables travel on irregular grounds such as a snowy ground, a sandy ground, a muddy ground, a damp ground, and a rocky area, solving the above problems.SOLUTION: A drive unit having a crawler is attached below a frame in place of a rear wheel of a motorcycle. An increase in a ground contact area of a drive part prevents the vehicle from being buried on irregular grounds such as a snowy ground, increases friction force between the vehicle and the road surface, and, as a result, increases propulsion power and brake force, thereby enabling the vehicle to travel. Furthermore, by attaching the drive unit having a crawler in place of a front wheel, travel performance on irregular gourds is improved. If a travel condition is limited to travelling on snow, by attaching a steering unit with a ski in place of the front wheel, travelling stability is improved.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
