ABSTRACT:
A multi-track vehicle having a lean drive and locking system which is primarily activated when the direction of the vehicle is changed by steering so as to provide increased stability, rideability and efficiency of operation. The leanable multi-track vehicle has a main chassis for carrying an operator which is supported on at least three wheels which are spaced from each other, at least a pair of the wheels are located transversely to each other with respect to said main chassis. A subframe supports the pair of wheels from the main chassis such that the main chassis may lean with respect to the said subframe and the pair of wheels. A drive system is provided for leaning the main chassis with respect to the subframe, and a locking device is provided which locks the position of the main chassis with respect to the frame or prevents the main chassis from leaning in one direction or the other with respect to the subframe.
