In an aspect, an electrical vehicle for traveling in a forward direction has two wheels on opposing side of a platform without a steering column. A motor and a battery are adapted to drive one wheel and controlled via a fold-out foot control. The steering wheel is controlled via a fold-out foot control. Both the driving wheel and the steering can also be controlled remotely by radio, smartphone app or the like. The two fold-out foot controls are integrated into the general shape of the platform when not in use. The vehicle is equipped with lateral balancing means and connected to a network, which enables it to be driven autonomously.

The electrical drive of vehicles is not optimally achieved.

wherein the wheel suspension (15) is arranged spaced apart acentrically from the axis of rotation (33).

A steered wheel support structure of a vehicle, includes a knuckle member which supports an axle of a steered wheel and a support member which is coupled to a vehicle body and supports the knuckle member from a first side in a vehicle width direction in such a manner that the knuckle member is angularly displaceable around a steering axis line, the knuckle member includes: an axle support section which supports the axle; and two supported sections disposed on both sides in the upward and downward direction, of at least a portion of the axle support section, the two supported sections facing each other and being apart from each other in the upward and downward direction, and the two supported sections are supported by the support member in such a manner that the two supported sections are angularly displaceable around the steering axis line relative to the support member.

In an embodiment, there is provided a motorcycle comprising at least one front wheel, at least one rear wheel and a vehicle body, the vehicle body comprising a substantially open elongate duct extending longitudinally through a central portion of the vehicle body between an open inlet aperture arranged at a front portion of the vehicle body and an open outlet aperture arranged at a rear portion of the vehicle body.

The present invention discloses an internal steering structure of a front wheel hub of a portable two-wheeled vehicle including a front wheel mounted on a front end of a vehicle body of a two-wheeled vehicle, a handlebars provided at a front end of a vehicle body of a two-wheeled vehicle, and a steering bearing sleeve vertically fixed to the front end of the vehicle body. The steering bearing sleeve is provided with a steering bearing fixing rod which is rotatable within the steering bearing sleeve. The steering bearing fixing rod is fixedly connected to the handlebars and is rotated synchronously with the handlebars. A rotatable front wheel is provided on the steering bearing fixing rod. In the internal steering structure of the front wheel hub of the portable two-wheeled vehicle according to the present invention, the steering bearing sleeve fixed to the front end of the vehicle body and the steering bearing fixing rod rotatable in the steering bearing sleeve are provided and the internal hub and the handlebars are fixedly connected to the steering bearing fixing rod. Which achieves a balanced force, simple structure, easy operation, and which can greatly improve the driving stability.

A position adjusting system for use in a vehicle includes a seat for supporting a rider, a rear wheel and a steerable front wheel, a steering arrangement including a handle bar for allowing the rider to control the steerable wheel, and a hub for interconnecting the components of the wheeled vehicle. The steerable wheel is steerable about at least two axes. The position adjusting system includes an adjustable seat support movably connected to the hub, an adjustable handle bar support movably connected to the hub, and a releasable position locking system configured to lock the position of the components of the vehicle relative to the hub. The hub includes a first portion and second portion, wherein the first and second portions are moveably connected to one another, such as by pivoting, sliding, or a combination of pivoting and sliding.

A method and system for assembling a vehicle of a family of vehicles includes providing a group of engines. A first engine including a first number of cylinders corresponds to a first vehicle. A second engine including a second number of cylinders corresponds to a second vehicle. The second number is greater than the first number which is at least one. A cylinder plane extends vertically and longitudinally. At least one cylinder is disposed at least partly forward of a front wheel plane. The transmission assembly is rearward of the selected engine and one of the transmission assembly and the selected engine is in a same location whether the selected engine is the first or the second. The seat is at least in part longitudinally rearward of the transmission assembly. The selected engine is laterally disposed between the centers of the footrests.

A front fork includes a tubular outer tube, a tubular inner tube which is provided inside the outer tube and is relatively movably connected to the outer tube, and a connecting member which connects a wheel and the inner tube. The inner tube has a first contact portion which has a first surface and comes into contact with the connecting member. The connecting member includes a second contact portion having a second surface and coming into contact with the first contact portion and a space forming portion which forms a space in an axial direction in a state where the first surface of the first contact portion and the second surface of the second contact portion are in contact with each other.

A steered wheel support structure of a vehicle, includes a knuckle member which supports an axle of a steered wheel and a support member which is coupled to a vehicle body and supports the knuckle member from a first side in a vehicle width direction in such a manner that the knuckle member is angularly displaceable around a steering axis line, the knuckle member includes: an axle support section which supports the axle; and two supported sections disposed on both sides in the upward and downward direction, of at least a portion of the axle support section, the two supported sections facing each other and being apart from each other in the upward and downward direction, and the two supported sections are supported by the support member in such a manner that the two supported sections are angularly displaceable around the steering axis line relative to the support member.

The present invention discloses an internal steering structure of a front wheel hub of a portable two-wheeled vehicle including a front wheel mounted on a front end of a vehicle body of a two-wheeled vehicle, a handlebars provided at a front end of a vehicle body of a two-wheeled vehicle, and a steering bearing sleeve vertically fixed to the front end of the vehicle body. The steering bearing sleeve is provided with a steering bearing fixing rod which is rotatable within the steering bearing sleeve.
