SCOOTER AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A SCOOTER
A scooter with a footboard providing a contact surface for a user of the scooter, with a front axle including a first front wheel and a second front wheel and a rear axle comprising a first rear wheel and a second rear wheel, and with a steering column for steering at least the front wheels. Inclination of the footboard about a roll axis of the footboard effects a steering angle of the two front wheels in a first direction and, at the same time, a steering angle of the two rear wheels in a second direction opposite the first direction. The disclosure further relates to a method for operating such a scooter.
Forecarriage of a rolling motor vehicle
Disclosed is a forecarriage of a rolling motor vehicle with three or four wheels, comprising: a forecarriage frame; at least a pair of front wheels kinematically connected one to each other and to the forecarriage frame by means of a first kinematic mechanism which enables the front wheels to roll in a synchronous and specular manner, each wheel being connected to said rolling kinematic mechanism by means of a respective axle journal, the latter being mechanically connected to a rotation pin of the wheel in order to support it rotatably around an axis of rotation; means of suspension which provide each axle journal at least one spring suspension movement with respect to said rolling kinematic mechanism; a steering device which kinematically connects the axle journals to each other so as to command the rotation of the axle journals around respective steering axes of each front wheel.
Vehicle with lean mechanism
A vehicle includes: a vehicle body; three or more wheels; an operation input unit to be operated to input a turning direction; and a lean mechanism for leaning the vehicle body in its width direction. Within at least partial range of vehicle velocity, the vehicle is configured to travel in a mode in which the vehicle body is leaned by the lean mechanism according to an input into the operation input unit, and a steering angle of a steered wheel changes following a lean of the vehicle body. And, the vehicle includes a changing device for changing a turn resistance force acting between the vehicle body and the steered wheel.
DOLL BODY MOTION ACCESSORY FOR RECREATIONAL VEHICLES
A leg actuator mechanism, a method of manufacturing the leg actuator mechanism, and a doll implementing a leg actuator mechanism is provided. The leg actuator includes an upper leg mechanism comprising a hip end and an opposing knee end. The leg actuator also includes a lower leg mechanism comprising a first end and an opposing second end, wherein the first end of the lower leg portion is operably coupled to the knee end of the upper leg portion. The leg actuator further includes a follower mechanism. The follower mechanism includes a mounting defining a follower pathway configured to receive a follower joint. The follower mechanism also includes an upper follower connector and a lower follower connector. The follower mechanism moves at least one of the upper leg mechanism or the lower leg mechanism when activated.
All terrain vehicle
An all terrain vehicle includes: an internal combustion engine; a fuel tank; a body frame on which to mount the engine and tank; at least three wheels suspended at the frame and including at least paired left and right wheels; and a canister adsorbing evaporated fuel in the tank. Part of a body cover includes: a vertical wall extending up-down while covering a specified wheel from one of front and rear sides; an upper wall covering the specified wheel from above, extending forward and rearward, and spaced toward an other of the front and rear sides from the vertical wall; and a connection wall inclined while interconnecting an end portion on the vertical wall side of the upper wall and an upper end of the vertical wall. An accommodation space triangular in side view is formed between the connection wall and specified wheel. The canister is disposed in the space.

Scooter driven by an electric motor for transporting persons and method for operating a scooter
A scooter, which is driven by an electric motor, for transporting persons, includes an electric drive motor and a standing platform. A front wheel is arranged along a center axis of the standing platform. A steering rod is coupled to the front wheel. Handlebars pivot the front wheel about a rotational axis, which is formed by the steering rod. Two rear wheels are at a spacing from the front wheel and are each arranged laterally offset with respect to the center axis. A feed-through aperture, which is preferably completely closed circumferentially and is passed through by the steering rod, or in which the front wheel sits, is incorporated into the standing platform. The front wheel is flanked on both sides in each case by at least one support element which projects from an underside of the standing platform that faces an underlying surface.
