The invention relates to an electric pipe climbing device. The electric pipe climbing device comprises eight brushless wheel hub motors, connecting shafts, transverse connecting rods and longitudinal connecting rods, wherein every two brushless wheel hub motors are connected through the connecting shafts; the four connecting shafts are mutually vertically connected through the transverse connecting rods and the longitudinal connecting rods to form a rectangular stereoscopic frame structure; a support is arranged between two upper horizontal connecting rods and two lower horizontal connecting rods, a battery is arranged on the support, and the battery is connected with the brushless wheel hub motors; the longitudinal connecting rods and the connecting shafts are connected in a sliding manner, and a spring sleeves each longitudinal connecting rod between two corresponding connecting shafts. The electric pipe climbing device can pass through a cable pipeline through the eight brushless wheel hub motors, so that a cable passes through the cable pipeline, and the time and labor are saved.
