• and
• a torque controller configured to control torque of the electric motor,
• wherein the shift lever is configured to select a mode of any one of a plurality of modes in which torque characteristics of the electric motor differ in stages with respect to a rotational speed of the electric motor and output a signal including the selected mode to the torque controller,
• wherein the clutch pedal is configured to output a signal including an operation amount of the clutch pedal to the torque controller,
• wherein the torque controller is configured to control torque of the electric motor based on the signal including an operation amount of the clutch pedal and the signal including the mode selected by the shift lever.
