Abstract
A steering damper apparatus includes: a body frame; wheels suspended by the body frame; a steering shaft rotatably supported by the body frame, one end of the steering shaft being connected to the wheel side; a handlebar connected to the other end of the steering shaft for rotating the steering shaft to steer the wheels; and a damper for damping the rotation of the steering shaft. The rotation of the steering shaft is damped by the damper only when there is an input from either the handlebar or the wheels.
