PURPOSE: To enhance the manipulatability of an electric powered vehicle in which a handle bar fixed at its center to the upper end of a steering shaft, and is curved in its opposite end parts, rearward of the steering shaft, so as to form a loop-like shape handle bar.

CONSTITUTION: In an electric-powered vehicle in which a handle bar 12 is fixed at its center to the upper end of a steering shaft 13, and is curved in its opposite end parts, rearward of the steering shaft 13, so as to form a loop-like shape handle, a switch box 23 incorporating a switch controlled mechanism is attached to each of both parts of the handle bar curved from the upper end of the steering shaft, which, are near to the opposite ends of the handle bar. A switch manipulating part is provided on an upward facing surface of the rear part of the switch box 23. Thereby it is possible to remarkably enhance the manipulatability of the electric-powered motor.
