ABSTRACT:
A lean-induced steerable wheel assembly has a pair of parallel wheel hub carriers arranged on either side of a leanable chassis spine. A linkage connects the wheel hub carriers to the chassis spine so that the wheels lean in unison with the chassis spine. A steering mechanism couples the wheel hub carriers to the chassis spine so that an induced lean on the chassis spine steers the wheel hub carriers through a steering angle dependent on the angle of induced lean.
