Abstract: A direction control method for the self-balancing electric vehicle and electric vehicle using the same are disclosed in the present invention. The direction control method for the self-balancing electric vehicle includes the following steps: disposing a plurality of direction control units under the foot treadles of the self-balancing electric vehicle, wherein each direction control unit comprises a first conductive plate, a second conductive plate and a flexible material, wherein the aforementioned flexible material is disposed between the first conductive plate and the second conductive plate; respectively measuring the capacitance values between the first conductive plates and the second conductive plates of the plurality of direction control units; and determining the tilt direction of the center of gravity of a riding object based on the capacitance values of the direction control units and the positions of the direction control units, such that the moving direction of the self-balancing electric vehicle can be determined.
