MOTOR CONTROL DEVICE

A motor control device of controlling a motor unit (6) that drives a wheel (2) is provided. The device include a temperature sensor (Sa) that senses a temperature (Tc) of a motor coil, and a motor current limiter (95). The motor current limiter (95) sets a plurality of threshold values of the temperature (Tc) sensed by the temperature sensor (Sa), sets a current limiting condition that are different from each other for respective sectioned temperature ranges defined by the threshold values, and limits a current for the motor unit (6) according to the current limiting condition for the temperature ranges to which the temperature (Tc) having been sensed belongs.
