Abstract: A self-propelled stepladder including a moveable platform having a front end, a rear end, a front pair of wheels secured the front end, and a rear pair of wheels secured to the rear end; a motor having a rotor and a fixed stator coupled to the platform and with the stator imparting rotation to the rotor when electrically energized; a drive mechanism coupled to the platform for transferring rotational motion from the rotor to the wheels; a battery coupled to the platform for providing electrical energy to the motor; a switch mechanism coupled to the battery, the motor, and the driving mechanism for allowing the motor to be selectively energized and de-energized and for allowing the rotor of the motor to rotate and thereby impart forward or rearward motion to the platform via the drive mechanism; and a foldable step ladder having legs terminated at free ends; and a coupling mechanism for removably coupling the free ends of the step ladder to the platform in an extended and substantially vertical orientation for
