, Put the foot on the footrest surface 11b, leave the back in the backrest 8a and turn to the front, as shown in FIG.
The side edge 11a of the floor cover 11 enters the field of view a.
The side edges 11a of the floor cover 11 gradually widen as they extend rearward, so that the rear vehicle width can be easily estimated, and it is easy to determine whether a location or a corner with many obstacles can pass. Further, even when the electric tricycle 7 is driven at a narrow road width and comes into contact with a roadside obstacle, the side edge 11a of the floor cover 11 and the lower side edge 9b 2 of the rear cover 9 on the continuous surface are also provided. Rubbing each other, so each other's damage is reduced, there is no part that gets caught with obstacles,
In contrast to the conventional operation, the vehicle can move forward only by slightly manipulating the direction of the handle without retreating once without performing the switching operation. Furthermore, the side edge 9b of the rear cover 9
1 is from the extension of the side edge 11a of the floor cover 11.
It is formed so that there is no obstacle ahead while driving
Can be avoided. In addition, the armrest 8b and the backrest 8a make it easy to hold the posture, and the footrest stabilizes the scaffold and facilitates the operation of the steering wheel.

で、作業が簡単で工費が安くなる。According to the present invention, the floor cover is gradually widened to the width of the rear cover as both side edges of the floor cover extend rearward.
Even if the rear wheel does not enter, it is possible to get an idea of the width of the rear vehicle, and it is easy to drive in a narrow passage. Further, since the side edge of the rear cover is formed outside the vehicle body continuously to the side edge of the floor cover, it is possible to prevent the rear wheel from contacting an obstacle from the front. Further, since the width of the floor cover extends to the edge of the rear fender portion at the front end position of the rear cover, the foot portion of the occupant can be widened.
Further, since the box-shaped rear cover covers all of the driving battery and the like, dust does not enter inside and the appearance is good. Furthermore, the floor cover and rear cover attached to the electric tricycle are configured separately , expanding the shape in the horizontal direction
The rear fender part that is formed integrally with the rear cover
Therefore, even if the rear fender part with a wide body is damaged, it is only necessary to replace the integrated rear cover, so that the work is simple and the construction cost is low.
