Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle, more specifically the present application is related to plurality of storage in a vehicle.

BACKGROUND
[0002] Generally, in a vehicle, e.g., such as a two-wheeled vehicle with a step-through type frame assembly, a floorboard is provided at a step-through space. A user rests his feet on the floorboard, which enables him to have a seating posture, while driving. A seat assembly is disposed in a posterior portion of the step-through space. The seat assembly comprises a rider seat and a passenger seat. Generally, in a vehicle with a step-through type frame assembly, a utility box is disposed below the seat assembly. The seat assembly, in an open condition, provides access to the utility box. Hence, the utility box is placed under the seat and is generally the last component to be assembled on the rear half of the vehicle.

[0003] The electric vehicles are generally driven by an electric motor powered by a battery module. The battery module requires regular charging to reload its energy reserves when stored electric energy is depleted. The time between successive battery charging sessions is referred to as a charging cycle. The efficiency of an electric vehicle is generally determined by the distance it travels in one charging cycle. The battery module may be stored anywhere within the vehicle layout. In electric vehicles such as two wheeled electric vehicles, the batteries are stored underneath the seat.

[0004] The battery module takes up much of the space available within the vehicle layout and not much space is available for a utility box for storing articles such as tool kit, helmet, documents of the vehicle, water bottle, etc. It may so happen that storage space within the utility box is insufficient to store a helmet therein within, which is an essential requirement in any two wheeled vehicles. One of the solutions for this is to widen the width of the vehicle to increase the capacity of the utility box. However, widening the width of the vehicle is not an economical solution and it may require changing the overall layout of the vehicle. Further, the box is disposed below a seat and in the rear part of the vehicle. One of the common problems with the existing utility box is that when a helmet is to be stored within the utility box, there is no space remaining in the utility box to store other articles, as the size of the helmet covers the entire space of the utility box. Therefore, an objective of the invention is to provide electric vehicle having desired vehicle width and yet having sufficient storage space.

[0005] Conventionally, a pillion handle that has a pair of passenger grips are disposed adjacent to the rider seat assembly and extending rearwardly of the rider seat assembly that is mounted to the frame assembly. Also, a seat lock is provided rearwardly below the rider seat assembly to secure the rider seat assembly to the frame assembly. The rider seat assembly, in an open condition, provides access to the utility box. Generally, the utility box is a load carrying member and is also used for storing the articles of the riders. The utility box can also be individually removed for servicing the parts beneath.

[0006] As the utility box is covered by the rider seat assembly, thereby it secures the utility box. The user may leave valuable items like smart phones, wallet, watches, helmet, documents of the vehicle, or the like in the utility box of the vehicle, since the utility box is covered and locked by the seat latch in the vehicle. The seat assembly is hingedly openable, i.e., the rider can access the items stored in the utility box by opening the seat latch in the vehicle. Therefore, this configuration has a long horizontal portion in the utility box which is only covered by the seat assembly from the top without having any secure connection between them. Such known art increases the chances of stealing of the valuable items stored in the utility box once an unauthorized person is able to open the seat assembly lock. In certain cases, when the vehicle is parked in a parking space or on a road, a person having ill motive of stealing items, easily access the items as stored in the utility box by disengaging the seat lock by accessing the cable which locks the seat assembly. Further, it is noted that the unauthorized person tends to slightly lifts the seat assembly of the vehicle by force flexing the resin base of the seat and accesses/steals the valuable items from the utility box.

The chassis of the vehicle may be so designed that the three sections may be manufactured separately and then may be joined together either by way of welding or by connecting provisions. According to an example, the chassis may be manufactured as a whole including the front frame structure, the floorboard structure, and the rear frame structure. According to an example, the front frame structure may have a head pipe, a front suspension, a handlebar, and the like. According to another example, the rear frame structure may have a first side tube, a second side tube parallel to the first side tube, a rear frame cross-connector connecting the first side tube to the second side tube, and the like. The rear frame structure may have a head pipe proximal end and a head pipe distal end, the rear frame cross-connector connecting the first side tube and the second side tube in proximity of the head pipe distal end. The chassis of the present subject matter may be so designed and manufactured that the floorboard structure may be positioned in between the head pipe of the front frame structure and the rear frame structure.

[00046] According to an example, the floorboard structure may have a plurality of cross-tube members that may help connect the head pipe and the rear frame tube with the floorboard structure. According to another example, the floorboard structure may have a front cross-member and a rear cross-member. In this example, the head pipe connecting to the handlebar of the vehicle may extend downwards and may be connected to the front cross-member that extends in a lateral direction. According to an example, the front cross-member connected to the head pipe may have a first front cross-member end and a second front cross-member end. Similarly, the rear frame structure may also be connected to a rear cross-member member that may also extend in the lateral direction. According to an example, the rear cross-member of the floorboard structure may be connected to the rear frame structure of the vehicle. According to an example, the rear cross-member connected to the rear frame structure of the vehicle may have a first rear cross-member end and a second rear cross-member end.
