PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that since a conventional unit for converting a vehicle into a ridable one being not capable of self-traveling cannot be applied to a hand cart-type walking-type vehicle such as a lawn mower, a burden of walking on a worker is still heavy.SOLUTION: In a unit 1 for converting a vehicle into a ridable one that is connected to a lawn mower 2, a walking-type vehicle, to make it ridable, the lawn mower 2 is configured to be a hand cart type that is moved by human power, and the unit 1 for converting a vehicle into a ridable one is provided with the second electric motor 11 which is an electric motor to cause the unit 1 for converting a vehicle into a ridable one to self-travel, and a pivot connection mechanism 30 to rotatably connect the unit 1 for converting a vehicle into a ridable one to the lawn mower 2.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】芝刈り機等の手押し式の歩行型車両には、従来のような、自走できない乗用化ユニットを適用することができず、作業者の歩行負担が依然として大きい、という問題があった。【解決手段】歩行型車両である芝刈り機2に連結して乗車可能とする乗用化ユニット1において、前記芝刈り機2は、人力で移動させる手押し式に構成し、前記乗用化ユニット1には、該乗用化ユニット1を自走させる電動モータである第二電動モータ11と、該乗用化ユニット1を前記芝刈り機2に回動可能に連結させるピボット連結機構30とを備えた。【選択図】図5
