Flexibility in design of steering characteristic is enhanced in a leaning vehicle including two front steerable wheels. A vehicle 1 includes a body frame 21, a left front wheel 32, a right front wheel 31, a rear wheel 4, a leaning mechanism 5, a steering mechanism 7, and a leaning-responsiveness-adjusting mechanism 74. The leaning mechanism 5 includes arms 51 and 52 rotatably supported by the body frame 21. The arms 51 and 52 rotate with respect to the body frame 21 so that the body frame 21 leans in the left direction or in the right direction. The steering mechanism 7 mechanically transfers rotation of the handle 23 to the left front wheel 32 and the right front wheel 31. Accordingly, the body frame 21 leans in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the handle 21. The leaning-responsiveness-adjusting mechanism 74 controls a motor 421 by using an instruction value based on a time derivative value of a physical quantity generated by a motion of a rider affecting leaning of the body frame 21 to thereby adjust responsiveness of leaning of the body frame 21.
