Electric vehicle

A torque for rotating a drive wheel is generated by a motor (8). An accelerator grip (42) is operated by a rider in order to adjust the torque of the motor (8). An operation amount of the accelerator grip (42) is detected by an accelerator sensor (AS). Further, a brake lever (43, 44) is operated by the rider in order to brake a main body. A controller (10) controls the motor (8) such that the torque of the motor (8) gradually decreases when the brake lever (43, 44) is switched from a non-operation state to an operation state with the torque being generated by the motor (8).
