ABSTRACT:
The Inherently Stable Riding Platform is a platform supported by a suspension system including a pair of two wheeled caster action bogies, the rear bogie mounted to the platform by two ball-joints forming a single axis pivotal discipline and the front bogie mounted to the platform by five ball-joints; four joints arranged in pairs to form two separate elongated restraining linkages and a single supporting ball-joint; the five together forming a multi-axis pivotal discipline. The whole arrangement is inherently stable and steerable by positionings of the rider's body. Energy for propulsion is harnessed because a turning movement of the bogies results in the platform rising due to the pivotal discipline of the suspension geometry. Conversely, straightening of the bogies releases the energy.
