ABSTRACT:
A three-wheeled motor vehicle including one steerable front wheel, two rear wheels serving as driving wheels, a fuel tank disposed on an upper portion of a frame, a seat disposed behind the fuel tank, and an engine mounted below the fuel tank. The above engine is a water-cooled engine. A cylinder portion of the engine is disposed on the rear side in the longitudinal direction of a case portion of the engine which case portion underlies the cylinder portion, and a radiator is disposed within a space formed in front of the cylinder portion. By the above arrangement, a large space is ensured in front of the cylinder portion without the need to enlarge the longitudinal size of the three-wheeled motor vehicle, and cooling devices can be disposed within such space.
