To provide an inverted pendulum type moving body having maneuvering mode based on the intention of a user and automatic operation mode not based on the intention of the user, the moving body being controlled while keeping a balance in response to a command based on the intention of the user.

This inverted pendulum type moving body controls travel of a vehicle body while keeping the balance in response to the command based on the intention of the user, and includes a gravity center position adjusting means for adjusting a gravity center position of the user in response to an operation signal output from a control device. The control device controls a wheel driving means in response to the command based on the gravity center position by controlling the gravity center position adjusting means so as to achieve a target travel state when generating a command to set the automatic operation mode performing predetermined travel control not based on the intention of the user.
