ABSTRACT:
A loop driven vehicle such as a motor cycle has a pivoted fork which supports the rear wheel mounted on the engine unit, and the engine unit mounted at its rear on the frame of the vehicle by a mounting which permits angular movement of the engine unit about a second axis parallel to the axis of rotation of the rear wheel, and fore and aft movement of the second axis. This movement of the engine unit is accommodated by one or more second mountings which permit the fore and aft and angular movement and may constrain the engine unit against movement in other directions. The mounting at the rear of the engine unit may comprise a pivoted member, or a flexible plate secured between the engine unit and frame.
