Abstract:
This leanable vehicle is equipped with a vehicle chassis frame, a left steered wheel, a right steered wheel, and a left-right tilt moment control device. The left-right tilt moment control device includes: a left-right tilt state detection unit for detecting the state of tilt of the vehicle chassis frame; and a left-right-steered-wheel torque difference adjustment unit for adjusting the difference between the torque of the left steered wheel and the torque of the right steered wheel during at least part of a period of travel while tires are gripping, on the basis of the state of tilt. In addition, the left-right tilt moment control device controls the moment at which the vehicle chassis frame of the traveling leanable vehicle is tilted to the left and right, by adjusting the difference between the torque of the left steered wheel and the torque of the right steered wheel.
