Abstract
In a power-associated hand carrier including a body frame on which a wheel and a motor for driving the wheel are mounted, a manually operated forward drive control member for enabling the motor to produce power assist for moving the hand carrier in the forward direction and a manually operated reverse drive control member for enabling the motor to produce power for driving the hand carrier in the backward direction are both provided on the distal end portion of one of two handlebars extending from a rear portion of the body frame obliquely upward in a rearward direction of the hand carrier. The hand carrier having such forward and reverse drive control members is easy to handle and can exhibit good mobility when used in a relatively narrow working area or when moving over rough or angulated ground surfaces.
