A steerable omni-directional cart is disclosed. The cart includes either a driven wheel or a sphere disposed on a lower surface of the cart platform to provide powered motion to the cart. A mechanical element is provided to allow the direction of the powered motion to be changed by the user to thereby allow the cart to be steered. The power may be provided by a removable and rechargeable battery pack. The battery pack may drive a motor which includes a driven output element in contact with the sphere to provide powered motion. Alternatively, the driven wheel may be a hub driven wheel which is powered by the battery pack.
