To facilitate turning operation, to easily incline a vehicle body, to maintain the stability of the vehicle body, to improve turning performance, to obtain a comfortable ride, and to achieve a stable drive state.
The vehicle includes a steering wheel for steering the vehicle body, a drive wheel for driving the vehicle body, a means for detecting vehicle speed for detecting the vehicle speed, a means for detecting a required turing amount for detecting the required turning amount of the vehicle body required by a passenger, an actuator device for inclination for inclining a drive section in a turing direction, and a control device for controlling the inclination of the vehicle body by controlling the actuator device for inclination. The control device inclines the vehicle body in the turning direction without a change in a rudder angle of the steering wheel when the absolute value of the required turning amount is smaller than a first threshold, and changes the rudder angle of the steering wheel and inclines the vehicle body when the absolute value of the required turning amount is not smaller than the first threshold.
