Abstract

An auxiliary wheel mechanism 151 of a two-wheeled vehicle disclosed herein includes an auxiliary wheel 1, a saddle support member 7, a transmission member 9, and an auxiliary wheel urging member 23. The auxiliary wheel 1 is supported by a vehicle body 11 to be located on a side of a rear wheel 13 and to be movable between a retracted position retracted from a road surface 17 and an operative position where the vehicle body 11 is supported against the road surface 17 so as not to tilt. The saddle support member 7 is provided on the vehicle body 11 and supports a saddle 27 such that the saddle 27 is movable backward and forward. The transmission member 9 transmits a backward and forward movement of the saddle 27 to the auxiliary wheel 1 such that the auxiliary wheel 1 is located at the retracted position when the saddle 27 is located at a front position, and the auxiliary wheel 1 is located at the operative position when the saddle 27 is located at a rear position. The auxiliary wheel urging member 23 urges the auxiliary wheel 1 toward the retracted position. Accordingly, it is possible to achieve the auxiliary wheel mechanism that is for the two-wheeled vehicle and enables a rider to move an auxiliary wheel between a retracted position and an operative position without a manual operation of the rider.
