PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wheelchair, which can facilitate operation and further eliminate the problem of a wheel lock by solving the problem of the conventional electrically driven wheelchair that a car body is increased in weight, it is difficult to collapse the car body, the price is high, and the driving mechanism cannot be installed in the existing wheelchair.SOLUTION: In this electrically driven wheelchair, a driving mechanism 10 is connected to a front wheel in a wheelchair 1 having a main wheel 6 and a front wheel 8. The driving mechanism 10 includes a power transmission member 10b which contains a built-in motor and transmits the power from the motor to the wheels, and the driving mechanism is fixedly loaded on a frame 2 of the wheelchair.【課題】車体が重くなる、車体の折りたたみが困難になる、価格が高い、既存の車椅子には設置できないという従来の電動車椅子の問題を解決し、操作が容易で、さらに車輪ロックの問題を解消した車椅子を提供する。【解決手段】主車輪6と前輪8を有する車椅子1において、駆動機構10を前輪に接続したことを特徴とする電動車椅子。駆動機構10は、例えば、モーターを内蔵し、モーターからの動力を車輪に動力伝達する動力伝達部材10bを備え、車椅子のフレーム2に固定されて搭載されることを特徴とする。【選択図】図2
