To enable, in a vehicle including a variable trail length mechanism, steering inertia to be reduced. A vehicle includes a vehicle body (10) and a front wheel that is disposed anterior to the vehicle body (10) and that is steerable about a steering axis (Cs). The vehicle body (10) includes a vehicle body frame (11) and a steering rotation unit (13) that is supported on the vehicle body frame (11) and that rotates about the steering axis (Cs). The vehicle includes a variable trail length mechanism (30). The variable trail length mechanism (30) includes an oscillation unit (41) that supports front forks (25L and 25R) that are disposed to be oscillatable in a fore-aft direction and that support the front wheel, and an electric motor (42) that oscillates the oscillation unit (41). The electric motor (42) is supported by the vehicle body (10).
