ELECTRIC STEERING LOCK DEVICE FOR SADDLE-RIDE TYPE VEHICLE

In an electric steering lock device for saddle-ride type vehicle, a casing movably supports a lock pin and a slider. The lock pin is linearly movable between a lock position and an unlock position. The slider is movable in a direction identical to a movement direction of the lock pin. The casing houses an elastic member that is interposed between the lock pin and the slider, and an electric motor that provides a power that drives the slider. The electric steering lock device for saddle-ride type vehicle avoids being large-sized and reliably detects a position of the lock pin. A casing movably supports a first interlocking member and a second interlocking member . The first interlocking member moves in a direction identical to a lock pin by interlocking with the lock pin . The second interlocking member moves in a direction orthogonal to the movement direction of the lock pin and the first interlocking member by interlocking with the first interlocking member . A switch that detects a position of the second interlocking member is mounted on the casing
