A drive unit for use in an electric straddled vehicle provides high motor output while the size of the drive unit is kept from increasing. The drive unit includes a motor, a first gear, a rotation shaft, a second gear, and bearings. The motor includes a rotor shaft. The first gear is provided on the rotor shaft to rotate at a same speed as the rotor shaft. The rotation shaft is parallel or substantially parallel to the rotor shaft. The second gear is provided on the rotation shaft and meshes with the first gear. The bearings support the rotation shaft in a rotatable manner. The bearings at least partially overlap the motor when viewed in an axial direction of the rotation shaft.
