An electric powered vehicle which is powered by an electric motor via a battery, includes a front frame which extends diagonally downward toward the rear of the vehicle from the head pipe, an intermediate frame which is bent toward the rear of the vehicle at the bottom end of the front frame and which is substantially horizontally extending toward the rear of the vehicle, and a rear frame which extends from the intermediate frame diagonally upward toward the rear of the vehicle. A front portion of the intermediate frame includes a partition plate extending diagonally upward toward the rear. The battery is retained within the intermediate frame, and restrained from motion in the longitudinal direction, by the partition plate and the rear frame. This structure provides an electric powered vehicle whose battery is effectively and removably mountable on the body frame in a limited space thereof.
