Abstract
An inverted vehicle and control method thereof are provided. The inverted vehicle may include a main body having two wheels rotatably supported by the main body and driven by a driver. A load distribution detector may detect a distribution of load received by the main body due to the rider's weight. A computer may compute a center position of the load's distribution. The inverted vehicle may also include an operating bar supported by the main body and operated so as to be inclined by the rider. A posture detector may be used to detect a posture of the operating bar. The inverted vehicle may further include a central processing unit that sets a target travel velocity on the basis of the center position and the posture of the operating bar. Furthermore, a drive controller may control the driver on the basis of the target travel velocity.
