Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[001] The present invention generally relates to a vehicle. More particularly, the present invention relates to provision of a seat assembly in the vehicle.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[002] As is generally known, a two-wheeled vehicle is provided with a storage space for accommodating articles such as, but not limited to, documents, tools, daily essential items, and the like. The storage space provides a range of benefits, including convenience, comfort, and safety to a user of the two-wheeled vehicle. The storage space provides the comfort to the user as the user is able to store all the items such as a rain suit, a helmet, extra tools, daily essentials, and the like. The storage space is further configured to store the items with safety as the same are made so secure that they do not usually open in the unfortunate event of an accident. Further, the storage space is weatherproof as well, meaning that the articles stored inside the storage space are protected from dust particles and water. The storage space further eliminates the need of carrying a backpack, especially on long journeys.
[003] Further, the accommodation of the storage space in a scooter type vehicle is easy due to availability of the space. However, the accommodation of the storage space in a motorcycle type vehicle is not feasible due to various factors such as packaging constraints including positioning of engine location, a frame mounting structure, battery mounting, transmission, and the like.
[004] Particularly, a rider of the motorcycle type vehicle commuting frequently finds it challenging to carry a helmet and household items like parcels and vegetables. Further, carrying bulky items and backpacks, particularly on extended rides, can be exhausting and tiresome. The same may have further effect on the handling of the motorcycle as well, thereby leading to situations such as collisions and accidents. Therefore, the storage space in the motorcycle type vehicle is an essential requirement.
[005] Conventionally, the motorcycle type vehicle is either not provided with a storage space at all owing to packaging constraints or are provided with storage space which are not easily accessible by the user. The user is not able to properly access the storage space in the motorcycle type vehicle. This is particularly due to the packaging constraints associated with the motorcycle type vehicle. A seat assembly of the conventionally available motorcycle barely provides 10-20 degrees of access to the storage space disposed below the seat assembly area. However, such a configuration fails to provide an effective utilization of the storage space.
[006] Additionally, the configuration of the seat assembly and the storage space in the conventionally known motorcycle type vehicles tends to make foul interactions with other vehicle parts such as a fuel tank cover, a style panel, and the like, thereby disrupting the durability of the vehicle parts and ruining the overall aesthetics of the vehicle. Therefore, the conventional ways of mounting the storage space on the vehicle are undesirable.
[007] Thus, there is a need in the art for a vehicle and a seat assembly in the vehicle, which addresses at least the aforementioned problems.
