ABSTRACT:
This cambering vehicle incorporates a frame having a steerable front contact engaging a support surface and having three laterally spaced trailing arms pivoted at their forward ends to the frame and with separate rear contacts engaging the support surface. The intermediate trailing arm supports a seat on which the operator may sit while operating the vehicle. Foot rests are secured to the outboard trailing arms allowing the operator to stand on the vehicle and camber steer the vehicle into turns with manual forces applied to the rear surface contact through a shift in weight of the operator through the foot rests. An optional trailer is provided for the vehicle to increase load capacity.
