Abstract

An electric-powered vehicle includes a drive wheel and a coasting wheel. The drive wheel and the coasting wheel are spaced apart from each other in a vehicle traveling direction. A frame is arranged between the drive wheel and the coasting wheel and rotationally supports the drive wheel and the coasting wheel. The frame has an object mounting portion. A stay is coupled to the frame and extends upward from the frame. A seat and a handlebar are supported by the stay. The vehicle has a plurality of modes including a ride mode, in which a user uses the vehicle while being seated on the seat and holding the handlebar, and a cart mode, in which the user uses the vehicle while standing on the ground and holding the handlebar. The vehicle is selectively switched to a shape corresponding to each of the modes.
