A controller 30 includes a normal processing unit 34b that determines timing of a change of a transmission ratio toward a low-speed according to an amount of operation of an accelerator operation member, and a brake activation time processing unit 34d that determines the timing of the change of the transmission ratio toward the low-speed according to a degree of activation of a braking device when the braking device is activated. When the braking device is activated and the accelerator operation member is operated, the controller 30 restricts the change of the transmission ratio toward the low-speed the timing of which is determined by the brake activation time processing unit 34d. According to the controlled 30, the change of the transmission ratio toward the low-speed is restricted under a situation where the change is not suitable for a rider's intention.
