1. A ride-on vehicle, comprising:
a frame,
a rear wheel unit carried by the frame and a front wheel unit carried by a steering unit associated to the frame and including a handlebar,
a saddle and an electric battery, which are carried by the frame,
the frame carrying an electrically operated air conditioning unit, supplied by said battery and including at least one inlet for intake of ambient air and an outlet for emitting a flow of conditioned air,
an auxiliary supporting structure connected to the frame of the vehicle, said auxiliary supporting structure comprising at least one rear upright which extends vertically upwardly above the saddle from an area located at the rear of the saddle,
an air guiding structure, associated to said auxiliary supporting structure, said air guiding structure in communication with the outlet of the air conditioning unit and having one or more outlets for emitting a flow of conditioned air, said outlets configured for directing jets of conditioned air towards a body of a user;
wherein said air conditioning unit comprises:
a supporting casing defining said inlet for the intake of ambient air and said outlet for emitting a flow of conditioned air,
an endless circuit for a refrigerant, which is arranged inside the casing and includes a compressor driven by an electric motor, a condenser which receives the compresses fluid by the compressor, an expansion valve for expanding the fluid coming from the condenser and an evaporated which receives the fluid expanded by said expansion valve and feeds the fluid evaporated in said evaporator to said compressor, and
at least one electrically-driven fan, for generating an airflow through the evaporator and said condenser and through said outlet for conveying a flow of refrigerated or heated air into said air guiding structure.
