A differential steering type motorized vehicle is capable of directly
steering a front wheel by the turning operation of handlebars, and
performing on-the-spot turning around a central position of a vehicle
body together with differential rotation type control of drive wheels,
and comprises the front wheel as one wheel supported by a lower end of a
handlebar shaft provided below the handlebars and located at a central
position along the lateral axis, rear wheels as a pair of right and left
omnidirectional wheels, a pair of drive wheels which are located between
the front wheel and the rear wheels, and drive-controlled so as to
perform the differential steering caused by differences in rotational
direction and rotational speed between the rear wheels, a rotational
position sensor for detecting the turn direction and the turn angle from
the reference position of the handlebars to be turned in the right or
left direction, and a motor drive wheel control means for controlling the
rotational direction and the rotational speed of motors attached to the
pair of right and left drive wheels according to the turn angle.
