ABSTRACT:
A balance suspension system for three-wheel vehicles wherein such system is applicable in particular to the oppositely-reciprocating related wheels of the vehicle. The system is designed such that the vehicle tends to maintain an essentially horizontal position, relative to its transverse axis, even though wheels may pass over bumps or dips or the vehicle itself may be traversing sloping terrain. Structure is provided such that a vertical movement in one of the oppositely-reciprocating wheels is offset by an opposite movement in the remaining wheel whereby the transverse axis of the vehicle is essentially maintained on a horizontal axis. Such precludes the vehicle from dipping or spilling. Further provision is made so that, as the vehicle is cornering, the transverse orientation of the vehicle dips inwardly, tending to oppose centrifugal force and thereby maintain the integrity of vehicle travel. Power balancing is also supplied.
