A leaning vehicle that is configured to lean leftward when turning to the left and to lean rightward when turning to the right, the leaning vehicle comprising: a vehicle body; a plurality of wheels (3, 4) including a front wheel and a rear wheel; a driving source configured to supply a driving force to at least one of the front wheel or the rear wheel; a vehicle body posture detector configured to detect a posture of the vehicle body; a gear-type multi-stage automatic transmission (12, 312) including a plurality of gear stages and a clutch (40, 340, 360) configured to switch between a transfer state and a non-transfer state of the driving force from the driving source to the plurality of gear stages, and configured to change the driving force that is transferred to at least one of the front wheel or the rear wheel from the driving source by automatically changing the plurality of gear stages stepwise; and a gear-shift controller (7, 107, 307, 407) configured to control changing of the plurality of gear stages in the multi-stage automatic transmission (12, 312) and, if rotation speed of the driving source is smaller than a threshold, put the driving force in the non-transfer state in the multi-stage automatic transmission (12, 312), characterized in that the gear-shift controller (7, 107, 307, 407) is configured to set, if it is determined based on a detection result of the vehicle body posture detector that the leaning vehicle is travelling in an upright state, the threshold at which the driving force is put in the non-transfer state in the multi-stage automatic transmission (12, 312) to a first threshold and to set, if it is determined based on the detection result of the vehicle body posture detector that the leaning vehicle is turning in a lean state, the threshold at which the driving force is put in the non-transfer state in the multi-stage automatic transmission (12, 312) to a second threshold that is smaller than the first threshold. a vehicle body; a plurality of wheels (3, 4) including a front wheel and a rear wheel; a driving source configured to supply a driving force to at least one of the front wheel or the rear wheel; a vehicle body posture detector configured to detect a posture of the vehicle body; a gear-type multi-stage automatic transmission (12, 312) including a plurality of gear stages and a clutch (40, 340, 360) configured to switch between a transfer state and a non-transfer state of the driving force from the driving source to the plurality of gear stages, and configured to change the driving force that is transferred to at least one of the front wheel or the rear wheel from the driving source by automatically changing the plurality of gear stages stepwise; and a gear-shift controller (7, 107, 307, 407) configured to control changing of the plurality of gear stages in the multi-stage automatic transmission (12, 312) and, if rotation speed of the driving source is smaller than a threshold, put the driving force in the non-transfer state in the multi-stage automatic transmission (12, 312), characterized in that the gear-shift controller (7, 107, 307, 407) is configured to set, if it is determined based on a detection result of the vehicle body posture detector that the leaning vehicle is travelling in an upright state, the threshold at which the driving force is put in the non-transfer state in the multi-stage automatic transmission (12, 312) to a first threshold and to set, if it is determined based on the detection result of the vehicle body posture detector that the leaning vehicle is turning in a lean state, the threshold at which the driving force is put in the non-transfer state in the multi-stage automatic transmission (12, 312) to a second threshold that is smaller than the first threshold.
