ABSTRACT:
A floor structure for small-sized, light vehicles having a low floor, such as motorcycles and three and four-wheeled vehicles. The floor structure of the small-sized light vehicle comprises a substantially flat floor inclined forwardly downward so as to be relatively higher at the rear end thereof and relatively lower at the front end thereof. The actual longitudinal length of the floor is shortened without extending the substantial longitudinal length thereof, thereby attaining reduction in size and weight of the vehicle. The bending angle of a driver's ankle positioned on the floor when driving the vehicle can be made relatively large, thus permitting a more comfortable driving posture.
