To prevent liquid like rain water, etc. dropping on a cover member of a front basket from flowing to the driver side and inside the front basket.

In a small electric vehicle 1 which includes a vehicle body 2, a handle unit supported so as to be rotatable by the vehicle body, a front basket 9 mounted in a more front side position in the vehicle longitudinal direction than the handle unit of the vehicle body, and a cover member 17 arranged so as to cover the vehicle longitudinal direction of an upper opening section 15 of the front basket between the upper opening section and the lower surface of the handle unit, the cover member is bent in the direction above the vehicle so that a height position of the center section of the cover member becomes higher than the outer peripheral edge section, and a rear side convex section 25 and a front side convex section 26 are formed so as to extend along each peripheral edge section in a rear side peripheral edge section area and a front side peripheral edge section area, respectively, of the peripheral edge section and protrude upward from the surface of the cover member.
