ABSTRACT:
This three-point contact cambering vehicle with lateral and fore and aft stability comprises an upright main frame, a pair of elongated trailing arms having forward end portions pivotally connected to opposite sides of the main frame on a common lateral axis and extending rearwardly therefrom, a stabilizer connection between the arms supported by the main frame interconnecting front portions of the arms to each other so that the arms move in equal and opposite directions in response to cambering of the vehicle. The free end portions of the trailing arms support wheels or other contact means. The main frame supports a steerable front wheel or other contact operatively connected to a steering mechanism manually manipulated by a vehicle operator standing and shifting weight in a natural manner on left and right foot pads secured to the respective free ends of the trailing arms. This is a light weight vehicle providing improved stability at rest and stability and maneuverability in motion.
