1. A vehicle comprising:
- a body on which a user rides;
a wheel that is rotatably supported on said body;
a driver that drives said wheel;
a tilt detector that detects data concerning a tilt angle of said body; and
a controller that controls said driver according to a plurality of operating modes;
whereinsaid controller selects an operating mode that corresponds to an output of said tilt detector; and
one of the plurality of operating modes includes a rising mode that causes the body to rise from the ground to a horizontal position relative to the ground.

Abstract
A motorized balance board includes a gyrosensor. An arithmetic operation unit calculates a tilt angle change value based on a signal output from the gyrosensor. When the control mode is a standby mode, a control mode switch element switches the control mode to a riding mode when the absolute value of the tilt angle change value exceeds a riding angular velocity threshold. When the control mode is the riding mode, the control mode switch element switches the control mode to the standby mode when the absolute value of the tilt angle change value exceeds a descending angular velocity threshold.

17. A vehicle control method for controlling a vehicle that includes a body on which a user rides, a wheel that is rotatably supported on said body, and a driver that drives said wheel, said method comprising the steps of:
-
detecting data concerning a tilt angle of said body; and controlling said driver to select an operating mode based on said data concerning the tilt angle of said body;
whereinthe operating mode includes a rising mode that causes the body to rise from the ground to a horizontal position relative to the ground. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
