Zusammenfassung:The present invention discloses a saddle type vehicle (100) having an IC engine (101) and an electric motor unit (201). The IC engine (101) comprises an output shaft (415) configured to receive rotary motion from a crankshaft (407) and a first transmission mechanism (411, 412, 421, 413) interposed between the crankshaft (407) and the output shaft (415) for providing variable torque rotary motion output at the output shaft (415). The electric motor unit (201) comprising an electric motor (420) and a second transmission (450) is detachably mounted on an external surface of the IC engine (101). While the electric motor (420) which is operably connected to the output shaft (415) provides rotary motion to the output shaft (415), said second transmission mechanism (450) provides torque multiplication to said rotary motion. The electric motor unit (201) serves to provide independent and parallel rotary motion output assist at the output shaft (415) along with the IC engine (101). Presence of the electric motor unit (201) also permits said saddle type vehicle to be operated as a hybrid vehicle while involving minimal changes to existing vehicle layout.
