Electron-phonon scattering is studied within an effective-mass theory. A continuum model for acoustic phonons is introduced and electron-phonon interaction due to modification of band structure is derived as well as a normal deformation potential. In a metallic nanotube, the deformation potential does not participate in electron scattering and a metallic nanotube becomes nearly a one-dimensional ballistic conductor even at room temperature. A resistivity determined by small band-structure interaction depends on the chirality at low temperatures. A magnetic field perpendicular to the axis induces electron scattering by the deformation potential, giving rise to huge positive magnetoresistance.
