Abstract

A three wheeled vehicle that has an improved dual front wheel integrated steering and suspension system that allows the vehicle to be maneuvered by a combination of arm and leg steering movements coupled with front end leaning that shifts the center of mass of the vehicle down and toward the inside wheel. This transfer of mass counteracts a conventional cornering vehicle's tendency to fling its mass to the outside wheel and lift the inner wheel off the ground as well as changing the angle of the line of force exerted through the tires, and enhancing the vehicles's grip on the ground. The vehicle has a reduced amount of sliding and potential of flipping when turning sharply. The steering system is compatible with traditional ACKERMAN steering geometry wherein the inner wheel turns in a smaller diameter circle than the outer wheel.

Description

[0001] This application is a continuation-in-part of Nonprovisional Patent Application Serial No. 12 / 322533, filed February 3, 2009, and entitled "Vehicle with Improved Steering." This application repeats much of the earlier application, adding and claiming additional disclosure not found in the earlier application. This application is filed under 35 USC 153(b) and claims priority under 35 USC 120 because the inventors of the present application are the inventors of the earlier application. This application incorporates by reference the entire contents of nonprovisional patent application serial number 12 / 322533. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to a vehicle with two front wheels having an improved integrated steering and suspension system. Background technique [0003] Three-wheeled vehicles with ACKERMAN steering geometry exist in the prior art, but none utilize matching upper and lower sections configured to have neutral steering and shift vehicle m...
