Provided is an electric vehicle that can offer the same pedal feeling as a vehicle in which a pedal rotation mechanism and a drive wheel are mechanically connected. [0002] A vehicle includes crankshafts 250 to which a rotation torque is input through pedals 251L and 251R and cranks 25L and 25R. In the vehicle, the crankshafts 250 are not connected to a drive wheel 23f via a mechanical transmission mechanism. The vehicle includes a resistance applying unit (GU), which applies resistance to the crankshafts 250 when the pedals are pressed; and a resistance adjustment unit (CU), which adjusts an amount of resistance coming from the resistance applying unit G in accordance with torque being input by pumping of the pedals.
