ABSTRACT:
A three-wheeled vehicle having a front body member carrying the front wheel and seat, pivotally connected to a rear body member carrying the rear wheels and handlebar. The pivotal connection is designed to pivot the front body member around a pivotal axis that is projected upwardly and rearwardly at a location rearward of the front wheel whereby pivoting produces sideward and rearward tilting of the front wheel and opposite turning of the rear wheels. Steering is achieved by such pivoting of the front body member which in turn is achieved by a sideward swinging of the seat that is positioned between the two pivotal connections. The rear wheels are preferably canted to provide increased stability for the vehicle as it is maneuvered through a turn.
