1. A vehicle body tilting apparatus comprising:
a swing member connected to a pair of tie rods and provided to be swung around an output shaft;
a lean actuator configured to swing the swing member by rotating the output shaft through a motor and a reducer so that a vehicle body is tilted in a right-left direction,
a first angle sensor provided on the motor and configured to detect a relative angle of the motor; and
a controller electrically connected to the motor,
wherein the controller is configured to:
correct a rotation angle of the output shaft based on the relative angle of the motor, and
control the motor according to the corrected rotation angle, and
wherein the vehicle body tilting apparatus further comprises:
an output shaft rotation detector configured to indirectly detect the rotation angle of the output shaft, or
a second angle sensor including at least one of an absolute angle sensor provided on the output shaft or a relative sensor provided on the output shaft.
