Abstract |
||||||
|
A three wheeled vehicle comprising
a single wheel (30) mounted on a chassis (8) connected to two substantially
parallel wheels (1) by means of an articulated suspension and a handlebar
(17) mounted on steering means (31) connected to the chassis (8) and to at
least one of said wheels (30). The handlebar (17) is pivotally jointed to
said steering means (31) about a substantially longitudinal axis (A), and
actuating means (18) connected to the handlebar (17) transmits the rotation
of the latter about the axes (A) to said articulated suspension which is
subjected to an inclination relative to a medium plane with respect to said
wheels. The articulated suspension comprises a rocking beam (6) pivotally
connected to the chassis (8); shock absorbing rods (4) pivotally jointed to
the rocking beam (6) and to supporting arms (2) of the wheels (1), a
stabilizing device having a double acting cylinder (12) operated by hydraulic
means by actuating means (18) moved according to the position of the
handlebar (17) with respect to said longitudinal axis (A). A more natural
driving is allowed similarly to the driving of two wheelers. |
