THE FOLLOWING SPECIFICATION PARTICULARLY DESCRIBES THE INVENTION AND THE MANNER IN WHICH IT IS TO BE PERFORMED.

 
FIELD OF THE INVENTION:
[01] The present invention relates to a vehicle in particular carrying a USB terminal unit.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:
[02] The practice of providing a USB terminal unit in a vehicle such as a saddle-ride type vehicle is on the increase. Generally, it can be observed from the prior arts that the USB terminal unit is positioned below a seat and inside a luggage box. Usability of the USB terminal unit is seriously hindered in this construction, since the USB terminal unit cannot be accessed when the seat is a closed condition.

[03] In an alternative embodiment, the USB terminal unit is positioned on a handlebar. While the USB terminal unit is usable from a location near a front portion of the vehicle, usability of the USB terminal from a location near a rear portion of the vehicle is hindered. Also, in this construction, the USB terminal unit is susceptible to ingress of dust, water and other foreign contaminants, which can adversely affect a lifespan of the USB terminal unit.

[04] Furthermore, Japanese Patent Application Publication No. JP2019172163 A1 discloses positioning the USB terminal unit in the rear of a pillion step and ahead of a rear grip. It is said in this document that positioning the USB terminal unit in the rear of the pillion step and ahead of the rear grip increases usability of the USB terminal unit. Especially, as per the document, usability of the USB terminal unit is increased by disposing a USB port opening outside a rear body cover. While usability of the USB terminal unit is increased many other disadvantages get associated with this construction. For instance, the construction is complicated and also does not safeguard the USB terminal unit from ingress of dust, water and other foreign contaminants.

[05] Thus, there exists a need to provide a vehicle in particular carrying a USB terminal unit which addresses one or more of the aforesaid disadvantages.
