A vehicle comprises a steering operation device, a pair of running-driving wheels,
which differentially drive when the steering operation device is manipulated, a
pair of steerable running wheels interlocking with the steering operation device,
and a steering mechanism interposed between the steering operation device and the
pair of running-driving wheels. The steering mechanism includes a pair of drive
gears interlocking with the steering operation device and a pair of follower gears
interlocking with the respective steerable running wheels. The drive gears mesh
with the respective follower gears so as to control lateral turning of the respective
steerable running wheels. A gear radius of the drive gear may be greater than that
of the follower gear meshing with it. A gear ratio between the mutually meshing
drive and follower gears may be variable. The lateral turning centers of both the
steerable running wheels may coincide with each other, and further coincide with
a lateral turning center of the vehicle body caused by differential rotation of
the running-driving wheels.
