Abstract: To provide drive torque control capable of avoiding acceleration failure even when a wheelie occurs. A drive torque control method for a vehicle detects or computes a wheelie amount of the vehicle, reduces drive torque that is applied to a rear wheel to be lower than the drive torque in a normal state when the wheelie occurs, and maintains or increases the drive torque when the wheelie amount is reduced.

Abstract: The invention has a purpose of providing a wheelie controller and a control method thereof capable of preventing a reduction of acceleration that is more than necessary and reducing a shock during a contact of a front wheel with the ground when a wheelie state is terminated. The wheelie controller for controlling a wheelie of a vehicle body computes a target trajectory, which is a target of a parameter and is used to control the wheelie state of the vehicle body, in accordance with the parameter that is related to pitch of the vehicle body and controls an increase/reduction of the pitch of the vehicle body so as to bring the parameter close to the target trajectory.

Abstract: To suppress occurrence of a wheelie of a motorcycle. A torque control apparatus includes a the detection unit that detects a state in which the front wheel of the motorcycle is likely to be lifted up based on at least one of engine information of the motorcycle, accelerator operation information of the driver of the motorcycle, and information of the vehicle body or wheel of the motorcycle. The torque control apparatus further includes an output unit that, when the detection unit detects the state in which the front wheel is likely to be lifted up, outputs a torque smaller than a request torque of the driver as a request torque for an the engine of the motorcycle or outputs the difference between the request torque of the driver and a torque smaller than the request torque of the driver as a brake torque.
