FIG. 51 shows a second embodiment of the present invention.
[0142]
In the second embodiment, a drum brake 146 that is a parking brake is disposed on the opposite side to the disc brake 137 that is the main brake, that is, on the right side when viewed from the rear of the rear wheel 10, and the main brake and the parking brake are left and right. It is distributed to.
[0143]
On the side of the disc brake 137, the brake disc 140 is fastened to the wheel cast 141 of the rear wheel 10 by bolts 142, whereby the clutch hub 139 is pressed from the outside by the brake disc 140 to prevent disengagement.
[0144]
As a result, it is possible to satisfactorily arrange the clutch hub 139 without fixing the clutch hub 139 with a separate bolt.
[0145]
The drum brake 146 has the rear wheel shaft 112 penetrated through the brake plate 147 and is fixed to the right split portion 111 of the rear arm 8 by a bolt 148. A cam lever 149 is rotatably attached to the brake plate 147. When the cam lever 149 is rotated, the cam 150 is rotated. By the rotation of the cam 150, the pair of brake shoes 151 are opened / closed around the anchor pin 152, and the brake shoes 151 are pressed against the brake drum 153 so that a braking force is applied. An ABS sensor 154 is attached to the brake plate 147.
[0146]
In this way, the main brake is the hydraulic disc brake 137, so that the brake is more effective. Further, by using the parking brake as the mechanical drum brake 146, a stable braking force can be obtained even when the brake is applied for a long time.
[0147]
In addition, by distributing the disc brake 137 and the drum brake 146 to the left and right of the rear wheel, both brakes can be effectively arranged in a portion with little space.
