Abstract
An electric vehicle comprises an electric motor; a manual transmission which selects one driving power transmission path and shifts a present driving power transmission path to the selected driving transmission path, in response to a rider changing a speed of the electric motor; a shifting state detecting device for detecting whether the manual transmission is in a driving power transmission state or in a driving power cut-off state; and a motor controller for executing a first control routine to control the electric motor; wherein in the first routine, torque control of the electric motor is performed when the manual transmission is detected to be in the driving power transmission state, and mitigation control of the electric motor is performed to mitigate an impact caused by shifting, when the manual transmission is detected to be in the driving power cut-off state, the mitigation control being different from the torque control.
