POWER-DRIVEN TWO-WHEELER DEVICE WITH LOAD TRUNK FOR INCREASING LOAD CAPACITY AND SAFE LOAD TRANSPORT

摘要

The invention concerns a power-driven two-wheeler device, comprising: a body, a steering mechanism for the front wheel including a fork and a handlebar, an engine-transmission unit articulated on the body to drive the rear wheel, and a part forming a saddle support for a driver, the device being equipped with a loading trunk designed to increase the loading capacity while providing safe load transport. The invention is characterised in that the loading trunk consists of a container mounted on the body between the front wheel and the rear wheel and having a bulging shape, the trunk defining a load volume extending between the front wheel and the rear wheel and having a barycentre disposed in median position between the two wheels, in a low-slung position relative to the height of the rear wheel, the engine-transmission unit being arranged beneath the rear base of the trunk, the trunk comprising a loading opening and an opening hood mounted removable above the trunk, the site and size of the bulges of the trunk being dimensioned so as to provide two side recesses for the legs forming a protection in case of lateral impact.
