The present teaching provides a leaning vehicle with a left-right pair of wheels that easily detects a disturbance that will cause a leaning vehicle body of a leaning vehicle with a left-right pair of wheels to lean to the left or right of the leaning vehicle momentarily, for example, when only one of the left-right pair of wheels passes over a bump or pothole in the road. A leaning vehicle with a left-right pair of wheels includes an up-down direction acceleration detector that detects an acceleration in a vehicle's up-down direction or a vehicle body's up-down direction, and the up-down direction acceleration detector is attached to the leaning vehicle body or the suspension mechanism to detect an acceleration in the vehicle's up-down direction or the vehicle body's up-down direction generated as one of the left-right pair of wheels passes over a bump or pothole in a road. A steering controller controls one or two steerable front wheels in such a manner that the one or two steerable front wheels are in a free-steering state, so as to be able to swivel around the steering axis freely, based on the acceleration in the vehicle's up-down direction or the vehicle body's up-down direction detected by the up-down direction acceleration detector as an acceleration in the vehicle's up-down direction or the vehicle body's up-down direction generated as one of the left-right pair of wheels passes over a bump or pothole in the road.
