An electric-powered vehicle includes electric-powered drivers for driving
wheels, a controller for controlling the electric-powered drivers to
generate an assisting driving force in accordance with a vehicle operating
force by an operator, and a brake-operation unit for applying braking
forces on the wheels. The vehicle also includes a brake-operation detector
for detecting a brake operation performed by the brake-operation unit.
When the brake-operation detector detects the brake operation, the
controller controls the drivers to reduce the assisting driving force.
This structure solves a problem caused by simultaneous generation of the
braking forces and the assisting driving force.
