An electricity-oil hybrid motorincludes an oil-pressure motorand an electric motor. The electricity-oil hybrid motorincludes a rotating shaftand causes the rotating shaftto rotate by supplied operating oil. The electric motorincludes a rotorconnected to the rotating shaft, a statorprovided around the rotor, and a housingin which the rotorand the statorare accommodated. The rotorand the housingare provided so as to surround and cover a casingof the oil-pressure motor. The housingincludes a rotating shaft accommodating spacein which the rotating shaftis accommodated and a stator accommodating spacein which the stator is accommodated. A sealing memberconfigured to separate the accommodating spacesandis provided in the housing
