The motor includes a stator, a rotor and brush gear. The rotor includes an shaft, a rotor core and a commutator fixed to the shaft. A worm integrally rotates with the shaft and is meshed with the worm gear. The brush gear includes multiple brushes slidably contacting the commutator, and multiple springs urging the corresponding brush towards the commutator. A lengthwise axis of the brush is inclined to a rotational axis of the commutator with a first angle between 75° to 87°.
