To provide walk-behind power equipment that is easy to operate, walk-behind power equipment (1) includes: a main body (2) provided with at least one front wheel (4) and a pair of left and right rear wheels (5) as well as a work unit (3)； a pair of left and right travel motors (9L, 9R) provided for the respective rear wheels； a handle (6) extending from the main body rearward and upward； at least one of a tilt angle detection means (41) that detects a tilt angle of the main body and a downward load detection means (38) that detects a downward load applied to the handle； a yaw rate detection means (37) that detects a yaw rate； and a control unit (10) that drive-controls the travel motors, wherein the control unit determines whether the main body is in a rearward tilted state based on the tilt angle or the downward load, and if it is determined that the main body is not in the rearward tilted state, the control unit performs straight-line travel control to set a rotational speed difference between the left and right travel motors to reduce the yaw rate, and if it is determined that the main body is in the rearward tilted state, the control unit does not perform the straight-line travel control.
