1. An accelerator position sensor unit comprising:
an accelerator position sensor main body that detects a rotation angle of a throttle pipe supported by a cylindrical handlebar in a state of being rotatable around a central axis of the handlebar along an outer circumference surface of the handlebar; and
a sensor case that houses the accelerator position sensor main body, wherein
the sensor case includes an extending portion extending along a direction of the central axis,
the extending portion is sandwiched between the handlebar and a cover that covers the accelerator position sensor unit,
the extending portion has an arc shape when viewed from the direction of the central axis, and
a central angle of the extending portion is 180 degrees or less.
