TECHNICAL FIELD
The present subject matter relates to a scooter type vehicle. More particularly, the present subject matter relates to a vehicle body cover for the scooter- type vehicle.
BACKGROUND
In order to make motorcycles lighter in weight and appealing to diverse groups, small models of motorized cycle designs have been developed. Generally, such vehicles include a small engine block coupled with other components and suspended on a body frame just in front of and surrounding a rear wheel. Such motorized cycles, often referred to as a scooter-type vehicle, may include a vehicle body cover which surrounds the engine to improve the outer appearance of the vehicle and protect the component elements of the vehicle.
Conventionally, the scooter-type vehicle for carrying two persons comprises a storage box disposed underneath a seat for storing articles therein. Such scooter type vehicle includes a storage member having an opening in a rear covering member of a front body cover of a vehicle body cover and at a position facing an occupant. Thus, in a known scooter type vehicle, the limited provision of storage space located in the storage box below the seat and in the storage member connected to the rear covering member of the vehicle makes it difficult to store certain articles on the vehicle.
Furthermore, the existing storage box disposed underneath the seat is circular in design and hence do not allow for large article having a cylindrical like structure to be stored into the article storage box. Thus, majority of riders of the scooter-type vehicle place the large article having said cylindrical like structure on a floorboard of the scooter-type vehicle. However, accommodating the large article having said cylindrical like structure on the floorboard is difficult and hence creates an unsafe riding experience.
