ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to an inclinable vehicle having three or more wheels. The invention provides a stabilizer system for the vehicle so that the stationary vehicle does not fall. The vehicle comprises a primary part including two wheels (1a, 1b) and a distortable suspension structure (2) connecting the wheels, and a structural member (4) mounted on a chassis member to tilt with the suspension structure. The tilting rotates an arm (5) with a multiplication ratio, and a roller on the arm (5) runs on a cross-member (19). The secondary part (6) of the vehicle slides on the structural member (4) and is carried by the cross-member (19) so that rotation of the arm (5) on tilting of the vehicle lifts the secondary part and raises the overall center of gravity of the vehicle. In a variant, the rise of the center of gravity is obtained by rotation of the secondary part of the vehicle. A clutch may be provided to disengage the stabilizer while the vehicle is moving.
