摘要

A travel device is provided with: a first drive wheel and a second drive wheel; a first motor for driving the first drive wheel; a second motor for driving the second drive wheel; a switching means for switching the drive shaft of the first drive wheel and the drive shaft of the second drive wheel between a connected state and a non-connected state; an abnormality detection means for detecting an abnormal state of the first and second motors; and a control means for controlling, on the basis of the abnormal state detected by the abnormality detection means, the switching of the switching means. The control means may be configured in such a manner that, when the abnormal state is detected by the abnormality detection means, the control means controls the switching means so that the drive shaft of the first drive wheel and the drive shaft of the second drive wheel are switched from the non-connected state to the connected state.
