PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a saddle type electric vehicle capable of providing intended deceleration force with simple operation.SOLUTION: A saddle type electric vehicle 1 comprises an electric motor 5 which drives at least one of a front wheel 2 and a rear wheel 3 according to electric power supplied from a battery 6 and can generate regenerative energy, an accelerator operation element 60 capable of performing operation at least from a neutral position toward an accelerating operation direction, and a MCU 70 which controls electric power supplied from the battery 6 to the electric motor 5 according to operation of the accelerator operation element 60 from the neutral position toward the accelerating operation direction. The accelerator operation element 60 receives setting operation for setting the magnitude of a regeneration amount of the electric motor 5 from an occupant. The MCU 70 sets the magnitude of a regeneration amount according to the setting operation which the accelerator operation element 60 receives, and when the accelerator operation element 60 is in the neutral position, regeneratively controls the electric motor 5 based on the magnitude of the set regeneration amount.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】簡易な操作で意図した減速力を得ることができる鞍乗型電動車両を提供する。【解決手段】鞍乗型電動車両１は、バッテリ６から供給される電力に応じて前輪２および後輪３の少なくとも一方を駆動するとともに、回生エネルギを発生することができる電動モータ５と、少なくとも中立位置から加速操作方向への操作が可能なアクセル操作子６０と、アクセル操作子６０の中立位置から加速操作方向への操作に応じてバッテリ６から電動モータ５へ供給される電力を制御するＭＣＵ７０とを備える。アクセル操作子６０は、乗員から電動モータ５の回生量の大きさを設定する設定操作を受け付ける。ＭＣＵ７０は、アクセル操作子６０が受け付けた設定操作に応じて、回生量の大きさを設定し、アクセル操作子６０が中立位置のとき、設定された回生量の大きさに基づいて、電動モータ５を回生制御する。【選択図】図１
