Abstract
In an inverted pendulum type vehicle including a frame () incorporated with a propulsion unit () and a seat unit () provided on the frame, the seat unit () is moveable between a deployed position for supporting a rider and a retracted position different from the deployed position. Thereby, an object support unit for supporting an object such as a rider and a cargo can be positioned differently depending on the need so that the convenience and freedom in the use of the vehicle can be enhanced by preventing the object support unit from encumbering the user when not in use.
