A three-wheeled vehicle having a front wheel assembly attached to a chassis. The chassis includes a rotational control shaft having a rotational axis that is generally directed in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The rotational control shaft is integrated with or secured to the chassis in a non-rotational manner and passes through the front wheel assembly in a rotationally-free manner, such that the rotational control shaft can rotate about its rotational axis. The front wheel assembly includes one or more lean control motors, which are operably configured to rotate the rotational control shaft about its rotational axis thereby causing the chassis to lean from side to side to improve the handling ability of the vehicle. Some embodiments include a lean control system configured to automatically control the degree of rotation of the chassis.

A tilting, preferably three-wheeled, vehicle is disclosed that has a tilting mechanism and a universal steering linkage that allows the vehicle to have leaning and steering characteristics substantially similar to those offered by an in-line two-wheeled vehicle, but that does not require complex linkages and/or control systems to operate effectively. A tilting linkage is operably secured to a frame to allow a pair of spaced apart wheels to remain substantially aligned with the plane of the vehicle throughout its range of movement while still providing an increasing camber between the wheels as tiling of the vehicle increases. A tilting lock system may be provide to limit tilting of the vehicle upon predetermined criteria.

A vehicle includes a front wheel, a front wheel mounting portion, a vehicle body, and a roll mechanism. The wheels are disposed in a pair of the left and right and rotatable about the steering shaft as a rotation center. The portion is disposed in a pair of left and right, and the wheel rotatably mounted and includes a suspension. The body includes a seat on which an occupant sits. The mechanism connects the body and the portion. In the upright state, the roll axis of the mechanism is located at a position higher than the vehicle center of gravity when the occupant is not riding. When the body receives a centrifugal force at the time of turning, only the body among the body and the wheel rolls around the roll axis as the rotation center, whereby the body is inclined inward in the turning direction.

A tilting motor cycle with at least three wheels including: a frame, at least one front wheel, a rear end comprising an engine group and a couple of rear wheels, where the rear end is hinged to the frame in order to allow a rolling of the frame around a rolling axis and a pitching of the rear end around a pitching axis, where the rear end is further connected to the frame by means of a suspension system including: a couple of uprights connected at the bottom by means of two first hinges to the engine group, at least one first crosspiece hinged at the distal ends thereof to the uprights, the center of the first crosspiece being connected to the frame directly or indirectly by means of a transmission element, the uprights or the transmission element including a suspension to dampen the rear end with respect to the frame.

A saddle type vehicle includes two front wheels, a left front wheel supporting member and a right front wheel supporting member which are turned around a left front wheel turning axis and a right front wheel turning axis respectively, an upper lean arm and a lower lean arm which are rotated around an axis perpendicular to a vehicle width direction, and a steering rod. The upper arm is connected to the left and right members via first and second connecting parts which are provided on the left front wheel turning axis. The lower arm is connected to the left and right members via third and fourth connecting parts which are provided on the right front wheel turning axis. The steering rod is arranged forward of the steering spindle. In a front view of the vehicle body, the steering rod is arranged between the upper and lower arms.

The invention describes a vehicle (100) having three or more tilting wheels comprising a main frame (2) provided with a suspension group (3) for at least two wheels (25). The suspension group (3) is joined to the main frame (2) through a hinge (8) that allows the free rotation of the main frame (2) with respect to the suspension group (3) along the axis of the hinge (8). The suspension group (3) comprises a pivoting arm (6) for each wheel (25). Each pivoting arm (6) is constrained to the suspension group (3) through the interposition of one or more elastic elements (9) consisting of elastomers. The elastic elements (9) operate as suspension or damping means, or with both of the associated functions. Each elastic element (9) is compressed and works under pressure inside a cavity obtained between one or more pins (7) having a closed polygonal section, operatively associated with the hinge (8), and one or more channels (32) having a closed polygonal section, obtained in the suspension group (3). The closed polygonal section of each channel (32) has a compatible shape and has a larger surface with respect to the closed polygonal section of each pin (7) that rotates inside such a channel (32) having a closed polygonal section.

A vehicle height adjusting apparatus includes: a cylindrical body internally partitioned into a plurality of oil chambers by a partition wall provided along an axis, the oil chambers filled with oil, and respectively provided with cylindrical body oil holes to be connected to an outside; one operating portion rotatably provided on the cylindrical body, and rotated to be moved along the axis; pistons moved along the axis by the operating portion, and received in the oil chambers respectively; and a plurality of damper devices respectively provided with damper oil holes into which the oil flowing out of the cylindrical body oil holes when the pistons move flows, the damper devices that can adjust a vehicle height by amounts of the oil filled into the damper devices through the damper oil holes, and that can absorb impact energy inputted on a wheel.
