An augmented traction system for a two-wheeled vehicle comprising a CMG (control moment gyroscope) system including a plurality of CMGs to provide a first torque vector to decrease a roll angle of a turn of the vehicle and to increase force on one or more of the tires of the vehicle on a road surface, a steering system for the vehicle, the steering system to determine a steering control for the turn of the vehicle at a particular vehicle speed and roll angle, based on sensor data, and an aerodynamic control system to actuate one or more aerodynamic elements of the vehicle, the one or more aerodynamic elements to provide a second torque vector to decrease the roll angle of the vehicle.

A straddled vehicle includes a body frame, a seat, a battery case storing a battery and inertial measurement unit, a drive wheel. The battery case is provided such that its bottom portion protrudes toward the position between the rear suspension and the rear wheel. The inertial measurement unit is fixed to the bottom portion of the battery case at a position above the inertial measurement unit. The bottom portion of the battery case is located in a space other than a space in which the rear suspension and the drive wheel are positioned when the rear suspension is in a most contracted state due to absorbance of shock. At least the battery and the inertial measurement unit partially overlap each other in a plan view of the vehicle.
