An electric power steering apparatus () includes a reduction mechanism (G) for transmitting the rotation of a rotating shaft () of a motor () to a ball screw nut () while reducing the speed of the rotation. The reduction mechanism includes a drive gear (), which is coaxially connected to the rotating shaft of the motor, and a driven gear (), which is arranged on the outer surface of the ball screw nut. Due to the reduction mechanism, the motor may be inclined relative to a rack shaft ().
