ABSTRACT:
A rear-wheel suspension device on a tricycle vehicle having front and rear vehicle portions interconnected by a rolling joint having a sleeve bearing. To provide increased stability between a pair of rear wheels of the tricycle vehicle, a casing of the rolling joint is pivotably mounted on a frame of the front vehicle portion for pivotable movement. The rolling joint has a spindle connected in a fixed positional relationship relative to axles of the rear wheels. A shock absorber is interposed between the frame and the casing. To increase damping and vibration-isolating ability, the casing is pivotably connected to the frame by a link, and the shock absorber is oriented so as to be substantially perpendicular to a straight line passing through an axis of the rear-wheel axles when they are loaded and a pivot point at which the link is pivotably connected to the casing. The link and the shock absorber have respective longitudinal axes extending substantially parallel to each other, and an engine is oriented such that major vibrations thereof are produced in a direction substantially at a right angle to the aforesaid longitudinal axes.
