Abstract
This electrically driven children's vehicle has a vehicle body 1 provided with front wheels 2, rear wheels 3, and a motor 8 for driving the rear wheels 3. The vehicle body 8 has a clutch lever 7 attached thereto, which clutch lever 7 is used to turn on and off the transmission of torque from the motor 8 to the rear wheels 3. A forward travel pedal 14 and a backward travel pedal 15 for rotating the rear wheels in the forward and backward direction, respectively, are mounted on the vehicle body 1 at a position where they can be operated by the foot, and these pedals are positioned relative to each other so that the forward travel pedal is disposed forwardly of the backward travel pedal. Further, the vehicle body 1 is provided with a motor drive circuit 20 adapted to rotate the motor 8 in the forward or backward direction when the forward travel pedal 14 or backward travel pedal 15 is pressed and to stop the rotation of the motor 8 when both the forward and backward travel pedals 14 and 15 are pressed at the same time.
