MANUAL TYPE MOTORIZED WHEELCHAIR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve operability of an input member, and correctly detect man power inputted to the input member by restricting lateral deflection of the input member. SOLUTION: In a manual type motorized wheelchair in which man power inputted to a hand rim as an input member relatively rotatably supported at a center part on a hub 2a of each of a right and a left wheel is detected, and in which assist power in accordance with the size of the detected man power is added to each wheel to be driven to rotate, slider (deflection proofing member) 25 is provided on the hub 2a side to face plural positions in the circumferential direction close to an outer circumferential part of a disc 14 supporting the hand rim, and a gap between the slider 25 and the disc 14 is set to be adjustable to zero or a micro-value. Deflection of a support part at a center part of the disc 14 is thus eliminated, lateral deflection of the hand rim is restricted to improve its operability, and circumferential man power (torque) applied to the hand rim can be correctly detected.
