Abstract
A manually propelled vehicle includes a main body part comprising a wheel and a motor that drives the wheel when a user pushes the main body part in an advancing direction, and a mounting unit to be carried by the user and that communicates with the main body part. The mounting unit comprises a first motion sensor comprising an acceleration sensor in three orthogonal directions, and the main body part controls a drive of the motor based on a detection result of the first motion sensor.
