To provide a drive unit for human-powered drive vehicle and human-powered drive vehicle, capable of being appropriately mounted on a frame of a human-powered vehicle.SOLUTION: A drive unit for human-powered vehicle includes a housing provided with an input rotating shaft in which human driving power is input and a first mounting part structured to be formed integrally with the housing as a single member and to be mounted on a frame of the human-powered drive vehicle. The first mounting part includes a contact part structured so that the human-powered drive vehicle is placed on a horizontal surface and to come into contact with the frame from above or a direction parallel to the horizontal surface with the drive unit mounted on the frame, and a first hole formed in the contact part, structured to store part of a first fastener connecting the first mounting part with the frame and extending in a first direction not parallel to the input rotating shaft.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7 【課題】人力駆動車のフレームに好適に取り付け可能とした人力駆動車用のドライブユニットおよび人力駆動車を提供する。【解決手段】人力駆動車用のドライブユニットは、人力駆動力が入力される入力回転軸が設けられるハウジングと、単一部材として前記ハウジングに一体に形成され、前記人力駆動車のフレームに取り付けられるように構成される第１取付部と、を含み、前記第１取付部は、前記人力駆動車が水平面に載置され、かつ、前記ドライブユニットが前記フレームに取り付けられた状態において、前記フレームに上方または前記水平面に平行な方向から接触するように構成される接触部と、前記接触部に形成され、前記第１取付部を前記フレームに連結する第１ファスナの一部を収容するように構成されて、前記入力回転軸に非平行な第１方向に延びる第１孔と、を含む。【選択図】図７
