Abstract: A braking controller is equipped to provide braking force distribution of the required total braking force, to distribute the required total braking force by regeneration distribution. The regeneration distribution is required to be within a rear-wheel dominant range, in which the distribution ratio is inclined toward the rear-wheels when compared with an ideal distribution line that provides distribution enabling the front and rear wheels to simultaneously lock, as well as within a range that is not greater than a rear-wheel locking limit enabling the rear wheels to lock in relation to a road-surface friction coefficient upon braking. A rear-wheel braking force change ratio, which is a change ratio of the rear-wheel braking force with regard to a change of the front-wheel braking force associated with the change of the required total braking force, is required to always be positive.
