DRIVE

There are provided a plurality of load sensors disposed on a boarding base 10 and a plurality of vibrators disposed on the boarding base 10. Presence of weighting and a center-of-gravity position are detected based on signals output from the load sensors and a driving operation of the vibrators is controlled depending on the presence of the weighting and the center-of-gravity position which are detected. When a boarding person rides on the boarding base 10 to carry out running control by moving a center of gravity, consequently, a vibration corresponding to a motion of a one-man riding mobile apparatus which is varied depending on the presence of the weighting and the center-of-gravity position at that time is transmitted to the boarding person by the vibrators. Thus, the boarding person can grasp the motion of the one-man riding mobile apparatus by a vibration transmitted from a bottom of a foot, thereby steering the one-man riding mobile apparatus as intended by himself or herself.
