Electric wheelchair

Abstract

An electric wheelchair includes a vehicle body, a drive wheel that causes the vehicle body to travel, a motor that drives the drive wheel, a grip to be held by an operator and displaceable in a front-rear direction of the vehicle body by an operation of the operator, an operation detection unit that detects a position of the grip in the front-rear direction, and a control device that controls the motor based on the position detected by the operation detection unit. The control device changes a control parameter to be used to control the motor in response to occurrence of a predetermined change in an operation state made by the operator or a predetermined change in a slope gradient.
