An electric steering apparatus includes a posture adjusting mechanism having a motor for adjusting tilt and/or telescopic position of a steering mechanism, a speed command unit for outputting a speed command for position adjustment, a motor control unit having a feed-forward control module into which a speed command outputted from the speed command unit is inputted for controlling the motor, and a disturbance load estimation unit for estimating a disturbance load from a deviation between a load torque based on speed information of the electric motor and a command torque based on the speed command. One of the disturbance load estimation value and a command values which is equivalent to the disturbance load estimation value is positively fed back to an output side of the feed-forward control module. A transfer function of the feed-forward control module is set to a transfer function with which a target speed is obtained.
