PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it easy to get on and off by keeping the feet of a user sitting on a seat clean. It stabilizes the balance of the center of gravity during driving and makes it easier to maneuver. An electric wheelchair includes a wheelchair body 50 and a drive mechanism 1 for moving the wheelchair body 50 by a motor 10. The drive mechanism 1 connects the handle 8 to the upper part and the drive wheel 9 to the lower part to connect the outer case 2 extending in the vertical direction to the wheelchair body 50 by the connecting mechanism 3 so as to be rotatable in a direction in which the direction of the drive wheel 9 can be changed. It is connected. The connecting mechanism 3 is arranged in a horizontal posture in which both ends are connected to the lower frame 63 of the pair of vertical frames 51 of the wheelchair body 50 and the rear ends are connected to the fixed frame 4 and extend forward. A vertical surface including a connecting frame 5 and a rotating mechanism 7 for rotatably connecting the tip of the connecting frame 5 to the outer case 2, and connecting the connecting frame 5 with a gap 75 between the pair of footrests 55. It is placed inside. [Selection diagram] Fig. 1【課題】座部に座るユーザーの足下をすっきりとして乗り降りしやすくする。走行時の重心バランスを安定させて、操縦しやすくする。【解決手段】電動車椅子は、車椅子本体５０と、車椅子本体５０をモータ１０で移動させる駆動機構１とを備えている。駆動機構１は、上部にハンドル８を、下部に駆動輪９を連結して上下方向に伸びる外装ケース２を、駆動輪９の方向を変更できる方向に回転自在に連結機構３で車椅子本体５０に連結している。連結機構３は、車椅子本体５０の一対の垂直フレーム５１の下フレーム６３に両端を連結してなる固定フレーム４と、固定フレーム４に後端が連結されて、前方に伸びる水平姿勢に配置されている連結フレーム５と、連結フレーム５の先端部を外装ケース２に回転自在に連結してなる回転機構７とを備え、連結フレーム５を、一対の足台５５の間の隙間７５を含む垂直面内に配置している。【選択図】図１
