In a mobile vehiclehaving a vehicle body, a front wheel, and a rear wheel, the steering control wheelcan be steered by a steering actuatorabout a steering axis Csf which is tilted backward. The steering actuatoris controlled by a control device. The height a, from a ground surface, of the intersection point Ef of the steering axis Csf of the steering control wheeland a virtual straight line connecting the ground contact point of the steering control wheeland the center of axle of the steering control wheelin a basic posture state of the mobile vehicleis set to satisfy a prescribed condition.

Mobile vehicle

A mobile vehiclehas two wheelson the rear side of a vehicle body, and is capable of causing a roll driving moment to act on the vehicle bodyby an actuatorin a roll driving mechanism. A control devicecontrols the actuatorsuch that the function characteristics of the roll driving moment implemented by the control of the actuatorwith respect to a vehicle body roll angle (inclination angle in the roll direction of the vehicle body) become as shown in FIG.A orB.
