Wheelie suppressing control unit

A wheelie suppressing control unit comprising processing circuitry, the processing circuitry being configured to:

• determine whether a vehicle including a drive source and an operation member operable to change an output of the drive source is in a traveling state satisfying a first condition representing a wheelie state;
• determine whether the vehicle is in a traveling state satisfying a second condition representing a pre-wheelie state which is a state preceding the wheelie state;
• control the vehicle based on an operation input provided to the operation member;
• upon determining that the first condition is satisfied, execute a first control that reduces the output of the drive source of the vehicle;
• and
• upon determining that the first condition is not satisfied and that the second condition is satisfied, execute a second control that is different from the first control and that restricts a rate of change of the output of the drive source of the vehicle with respect to the operation input provided to the operation member.
