An objective of the present teaching is to provide a leaning vehicle with a steerable front wheel, including a turn operation input device that is configured to not transmit a turn operation inputted by the rider to the steerable front wheel mechanically, thereby preventing the steerable front wheel from swiveling due to mechanical transmission of the turn operation, and having enhanced robustness to turning. The leaning vehicle according to an embodiment includes a centripetal force generator. The centripetal force generator outputs torque that is controllable to generate an additional centripetal force that acts on one or two steerable front wheels and one or two rear wheels that are leaning during a turn of the leaning vehicle. A controller controls the torque outputted from a centripetal force generation actuator while controlling a lean actuator during the turn of the leaning vehicle, and thereby controls the leaning condition of the vehicle body during the turn of the leaning vehicle and the centripetal force acting on the one or two steerable front wheels and the one or two rear wheels during the turn of the leaning vehicle.
