Abstract: A vehicle height adjustment device includes a changer, a detector, and a controller. The changer is configured to change a relative position of a body of a vehicle to an axle of a wheel of the vehicle. The detector is configured to detect the relative position. The controller is configured to control the changer to change the relative position based on a detection value detected by the detector so as to control a height of the body as a vehicle height. The controller is configured to control the changer to maintain the vehicle height when there is a possibility of a malfunction in the detector.

Abstract: Provided is technology of raising or lowering vehicle height even if the grasp of vehicle speed is disabled. A vehicle height adjusting device includes a rear suspension capable of changing relative positions of a vehicle body frame and a wheel of a motorcycle including a transmission configured by a plurality of gears and a control device configured to control the rear suspension and change the relative positions of the rear wheel and the vehicle body frame to adjust vehicle height, which is the height of the vehicle body frame. The control device controls the rear suspension to increase the vehicle height when a gear position of the transmission is equal to or higher than a predetermined gear position set in advance and reduce the vehicle height when the gear position is lower than the predetermined gear position.
