PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a travelling vehicle configured to drive a pair of left and right driving wheels independently from each other, which has excellent operability.SOLUTION: The travelling vehicle is provided with: a travelling machine body 10 supported by a pair of a left driving wheel 30L and a right driving wheel 30R a pair of a left and right motors that drive the driving wheel 30L and the driving wheel 30R independently from each other a riding portion 40, arranged behind the travelling machine body 10, on which an operator can ride a handle 70, in which a holding portion 73 that the operator riding on the riding portion 40 can grasp with the hand is formed, which is connected to the travelling machine body 10 to be laterally oscillatable a rotary angle sensor that detects laterally oscillating operation amounts of the handle 70 and a control portion that controls operation of the pair of left and right motors on the basis of the detection amounts by the rotary angle sensor. An oscillation support point of the handle 70 is provided at a position, where the height is equal to or less than half of the height ranging from a foot placing face on which the operator puts the foot when riding on the riding portion 40 to the holding portion 73 and larger than the height of the foot placing face.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】左右一対の駆動輪をそれぞれ独立して駆動させる走行車両において、操作性に優れた走行車両を提供する。【解決手段】左右一対の駆動輪30L及び駆動輪30Rによって支持される走行機体10と、駆動輪30L及び駆動輪30Rをそれぞれ独立して駆動させる左右一対のモータと、走行機体10の後方に配置され、作業者が搭乗可能な搭乗部40と、搭乗部40に搭乗した作業者が手で握ることが可能な把持部73が形成されると共に、走行機体10に対して左右に揺動可能に連結されるハンドル70と、ハンドル70の左右への揺動操作量を検出する回転角センサと、回転角センサによる検出値に基づいて、前記左右一対のモータの動作を制御する制御部と、を具備し、ハンドル70の揺動支点は、作業者が搭乗部40に搭乗する際に足を載せる足載せ面から把持部73までの高さに対して半分以下の高さであって、前記足載せ面の高さよりも高い位置に設けられる。【選択図】図2
