Specification

Description:TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present subject matter generally relates to a vehicle. The present subject matter specifically, but not exclusively, relates to a configuration of a power unit in a vehicle for ease of accessibility of the power unit.
BACKGROUND
[0002] With the advancement in technology, a vehicle makes use of one or more power sources to drive the vehicle. The one or more powers source, such as a power unit, provides power to run a motor which in turn runs one or more wheels of the vehicle. The one or more power sources in such vehicles are prone to damage due to increase in temperature and other external impacts with increased usage, therefore, ease of serviceability and ease of accessibility of the power unit is an important factor of consideration for users of the power unit. The placement of power unit plays a significant role, especially in vehicles where space utilization is of vital significance. Appropriate configuration of these components in vehicles is necessary and thus, it is desired that the power unit is placed in such a location which ensures that it is accessible and can be replaced effortlessly.
[0003] More specifically, electric vehicles rely on power units which may include a battery pack. Since, electric vehicles need frequent recharging and replacing of the power unit, it is imperative that a user of the vehicle is able to access the power unit easily for the purposes of recharging the power unit or to replace the power unit with a completely charged battery.
[0004] In conventional vehicles, the power unit, such as a battery, is disposed vertically aligned along a longitudinal axis of the vehicle. In such a configuration, the battery is disposed in a portion of a storage unit of the vehicle, and the battery is covered by a seat disposed on the storage unit of the vehicle. However, this configuration reduces the utility space available in the storage unit. Moreover, a vertical orientation of the power unit causes complexity in design and layout of the vehicle.
[0005] In another conventional vehicle, the power unit is aligned in a width wise direction aligned along a lateral axis of the vehicle. The power unit is disposed below the storage unit and the power unit is inclined downward towards the ground from a front portion of the power unit, and the rear portion of the power unit is inclined upwards towards a portion of the storage unit. In such configurations, when a user of the power unit attempts to remove the power unit, the orientation is such that the front portion of the storage unit comes into contact with the front portion of the battery. Therefore, the movement of the power unit is arrested once the storage unit is mounted. This configuration affixes the power unit and thereby does not provide a configuration of swappable batteries or allow a user to recharge the power unit by removing the power unit from the vehicle. This in turn reduces the scope of replaceability of the battery and reduces the overall life of the vehicle.
[0006] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned vehicle, the front portion of the storage unit is designed to have a narrow profile for providing an ergonomic seating for the rider. However, due to this narrow profile of the front portion, it is difficult to replace or remove the power unit by opening the seat. Hence, an improved design of vehicle is required for ease of replaceability and accessibility of the battery.
[0007] Further limitations and disadvantages of conventional and traditional approaches will become apparent to one of skill in the art, through comparison of described systems with some aspects of the present disclosure, as set forth in the remainder of the present application and with reference to the drawings.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0008] According to embodiments illustrated herein, the present invention provides a vehicle with an improved power unit mounting and arrangement in a vehicle for ease of accessibility of a power unit. The vehicle comprises of a frame assembly. The frame assembly comprises a left side tube, a right side tube, a storage unit, a tubular structure, and a holding unit. The tubular structure is mounted between the left side tube and the right side tube, and the tubular structure is disposed below the storage unit of the vehicle. The holding unit is configured to receive a power unit. The power unit is angularly disposed below the storage unit at a predetermined angle about a longitudinal axis of the vehicle for ease of accessibility and removability of the power unit.
[0009] It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of the invention, as claimed.
