What is claimed is: 1. A conveyance seat comprising: a seatback configured to be pivotable in a front-rear direction of the seat with respect to a seat cushion; a first side frame portion configured to form a framework of the seatback and disposed on a first side in a seat width direction extending substantially in an up-down direction; a second side frame portion configured to form the framework of the seatback together with the first side frame portion and disposed on a second side in the seat width direction extending substantially in the up-down direction; a drive mechanism configured to generate driving force so as to pivot the first side frame portion and the second side frame portion in the front-rear direction of the seat, the drive mechanism being disposed on the first side frame portion facing the second side frame portion in the seat width direction; a motor fixing portion disposed on the first side frame portion and provided with a fixing surface on which the drive mechanism is secured; and a bracket configured to secure the drive mechanism to the fixing surface, wherein the fixing surface is arranged in the seat width direction so as to be substantially perpendicular to a front-rear direction of the seat. 2. The conveyance seat according to claim 1 , wherein the fixing surface is disposed on a rear-end side of the first side frame portion in the front-rear direction of the seat. 3. The conveyance seat according to claim 1 , wherein the bracket comprises two clamping portions configured to clamp the drive mechanism from both sides in the front-rear direction of the seat so as to support the drive mechanism, and an extending portion extending from either one of the two clamping portions toward the fixing surface. 4. The conveyance seat according to claim 3 , wherein the extending portion comprises a plate portion formed substantially in a plate-shape and one of a convex-shaped or a concave-shaped bead portion provided on the plate portion. 5. The conveyance seat according to claim 4 , wherein the bracket is secured to the fixing surface with a fastening tool inserted into the bracket from a rear side of the seat. 6. The conveyance seat according to claim 1 , wherein the first side frame portion comprises a first surface portion arranged in the front-rear direction so as to be substantially perpendicular to the seat width direction and a second surface portion arranged in the seat width direction so as to be substantially perpendicular to the front-rear direction of the seat, and wherein the motor fixing portion is provided to the second surface portion. 7. The conveyance seat according to claim 1 , wherein the bracket is secured to the fixing surface via a fastener extending in a direction parallel to the front-rear direction of the seat.
