WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/082426
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a leaning vehicle wherein an actuator that applies steering force to a front-left steering wheel and a front-right steering wheel can be kept from interfering with a steering mechanism and a leaning mechanism and wherein enlargement of the nearby portions of the front-left steering wheel and the front-right steering wheel can be suppressed. According to the present invention, a steering mechanism (60) includes: a first center steering shaft (21); a second center steering shaft (22) that is arranged in front of the first center steering shaft (21); and a center steering shaft rotation interlock mechanism (230) that interlocks the rotation of the first center steering shaft (21) and the second center steering shaft (22). With respect to the left-right direction, an actuator (27) is provided between a left end and a right end of a link member of a leaning mechanism. Seen from the up-down direction, at least one part of the actuator (27) is provided in a position that overlaps the range of motion of the center steering shaft rotation interlock mechanism.
