It runs correctly.

[Examples] The present invention will be described in detail below based on examples shown in the accompanying drawings.

An electromagnetic clutch 5 is installed in the transmission path for transmitting the rotation of the vehicle to the running wheels 2. That is, an electromagnetic clutch 5 is interposed between the output shaft 6 of the motor 4 and the driven shaft 7, and the rotational drive of the output shaft 6, which is rotationally driven by the motor 4, is switched on and off to the driven shaft 7 side. The rotation of the six driven shafts 7 is controlled by a group of gears such as a spiral gear 8 and a spur gear 9.
Three sets of running wheels 2), each consisting of a pair of left and right wheels attached to the left and right sides of the wheel, are simultaneously driven to rotate. At the top of the runner 3, a section A is provided for mounting a plurality of branch control wheels of different heights on the left and right sides. Then, this optional branch 111 (for one-wheel installation, the shaft 11 is protruded upward or downward from part A, and a branch control wheel 12 that can freely rotate horizontally is attached to the shaft 11).
