LOCKABLE TILTING ASSEMBLY FOR MOTOR VEHICLE
20180319242 · 2018-11-08 ·

The present invention discloses a three-wheeled motor vehicle having a lockable tilting mechanism. The tilting mechanism is configured to tilt the vehicle at any angle without the need for a driver to put their feet on the ground outside the vehicle. The tilting mechanism is further configured to lock the tilting of the vehicle at any desired angle by the driver. The present invention enables the driver to alter the lean from within the vehicle if the lean is locked in an undesirable position. The tilting mechanism is further configured to enable the driver to lock or unlock the lean of the vehicle in a manner that allows the driver to intuitively switch between steering and counter-steering.

VEHICLE

A vehicle is configured to travel, when a vehicle velocity is within a velocity range from not less than a first velocity of at least zero to not more than a second velocity larger than the first velocity, in a mode in which a vehicle body is leaned by a lean mechanism according to an input into an operation input unit, and a wheel angle of a turn wheel changes following a lean of the vehicle body. A natural frequency of roll oscillation of the vehicle body is either within a range of smaller than a reference frequency or within a range of larger than the reference frequency, the reference frequency being a frequency at which oscillation of the wheel angle of the turn wheel has phase delay of 90 degrees relative to the roll oscillation of the vehicle body in its width direction.
