A steering apparatus ( 10 ) for a vehicle having steerable road-engaging wheels comprises a rotatable steering wheel ( 11 ) and a sensor ( 12 ) which senses the rotational position of the steering wheel and generates a first signal corresponding to the sensed rotational position of the steering wheel ( 11 ). A first electric motor ( 14 ), when energized, resists rotation of the steering wheel ( 11 ). A second electric motor ( 20 ) is controlled by the signal generated by the sensor for sensing the rotational position of the steering wheel ( 11 ). A steering gear ( 130 ) is actuated by the second electric motor ( 20 ) to turn the steerable wheels of the vehicle. An electrical circuit ( 19 ) includes the first and second motors ( 14 and 20 ) in series.
