To ensure, in an inverted pendulum type vehicle, that no excessive load is exerted on a sub-wheel even in the case where some downward load is exerted on a sub-wheel arm. The inverted pendulum type vehicle 1 includes a main wheel 3 capable of moving forward, rearward, leftward and rightward, and a vehicle body frame 2 supported by the main wheel. The inverted pendulum type vehicle further includes the sub-wheel arm 101 turnably supported on the vehicle body frame 2, and the sub-wheel 5 that is supported by the sub-wheel arm and is grounded. The sub-wheel is supported through a deformable biasing device 129, and is biased into a predetermined position in relation to the sub-wheel arm. When a downward load is exerted on the sub-wheel arm, the biasing device deforms, whereby at least part of the sub-wheel arm is grounded.
