Abstract
A vehicle includes: a pair of front wheels; a pair of rear wheels; a front-wheel motor configured to drive the front wheels; a rear-wheel motor configured to drive the rear wheels; and a reducer configured to reduce a rotation speed of one of the front-wheel motor and the rear-wheel motor, and transmit drive power to the wheels driven by one of the motors. The one of the front-wheel motor and the rear-wheel motor is a motor with a rotation speed higher and torque lower than those of the other one of the motors.
