An electrically power assisted wheelchair includes a hand rim, a wheel that is rotated by receiving a torque applied to the hand rim, and a drive controller configured or programmed to apply auxiliary power to the wheel based on the torque applied to the hand rim. The drive controller is configured or programmed to decelerate rotation of the wheel when the wheel is rotating and no torque is applied to the hand rim in a brake mode in which a brake torque acting in a direction reverse to a rotation direction of the wheel is applied to the wheel.
