Vehicle provided with leaning-capable vehicle-body frame and two front wheels
A brake controlling operation transmission member includes a leaning-associated deforming portion that deforms in response to turning of a body frame. A vehicle includes at least a portion of the leaning-associated deforming portion located between a first restrictor located below a lower cross portion in relation to an up-and-down direction of the body frame and a central portion in a left-and-right direction of the body frame so as to prevent movement of the brake controlling operation transmission member and a brake device.
Vehicle
A fan generates an air flow that cools a portion of an engine unit. A ventilation opening causes air flow directed to the fan to pass therethrough. Under a condition that a body frame is in an upright state and a condition that a left front wheel and a right front wheel are not turned by a steering device, the ventilation opening is disposed directly behind a lower cover of an inner fender, ahead of a rear end of a rear wheel, on the right of a left end of the left front wheel, and on the left of a right end of the right front wheel.

Tricycle with height-tilting wheel suspension linked to the driving handlebar
A tricycle for riding on any type of terrain, improving stability and safety in slow movement, having a structural chassis incorporating a rolling assembly made up of a rear wheel associated to a propulsion system and two front wheels linked to a driving handlebar, wherein the front wheels are incorporated in a height-tilting suspension, made up of articulated quadrilaterals able to be deformed independently with vertical movement depending on the individual resting of the front wheels on irregularities of the terrain, the height-tilting suspension linking to the handlebar, by means of a transmission, which links the height-oscillating movements of the articulated quadrilaterals of the height-tilting transmission with an equivalent lateral tilting of the handlebar, this transmission having a clutch which allows for enabling or disabling the linkage of the movements between the height-tilting suspension and the handlebar.

Active vehicle footrest
A vehicle and passenger carrying apparatus usable with a vehicle, wherein the passenger carrying portion includes a seating surface and a moveable footrest below the seating surface. The footrest is moveable from an ingress/egress position to a transport position that is closer to the seating surface than the ingress/egress position. The passenger carrying portion further includes a footrest movement mechanism, wherein the footrest movement mechanism controls movement of the moveable footrest between the ingress/egress position the transport position.
Human-powered pallet carrier
A self-loading, human-powered pallet carrier is provided, the pallet carrier comprising: a first frame; a second frame; a drive train; a handlebar; a seat; and a braking system, one of the first frame or the second frame supported by a pair of driving wheels, the other of the first frame or the second frame supported by an at least one driving wheel, one of the pair of driving wheels or the single driving wheel pivotally mounted to the second frame with an at least one actuator, the other of the pair of driving wheels or the single driving wheel directly mounted to the first frame with an at least one actuator, the first frame including a pair of pallet forks, the second frame including a pair of beams, which, when mated, form a pallet loading zone, each pallet fork and each beam having an at least one dolly wheel, the drive train, the handlebar, the seat and the braking system mounted on the first frame. A method of using the self-loading pallet carrier is also provided.

Rolling type vehicle
A rolling type vehicle includes a pair of left and right front wheels and has a vehicle body capable of rolling. The rolling type vehicle includes a pair of left and right arm members supported in a swingable manner by the vehicle body on inner sides in the transverse direction for supporting the left and right front wheels in a steerable manner on outer sides in the transverse direction. A pair of left and right knuckle members are supported by transversely outer end portions of the left and right arm members in a swingable manner and which are steered together with the left and right front wheels, respectively. A regulating member for regulating the turning angle of each front wheel is provided between the transversely outer end portion of at least one of the left and right arm members and the knuckle member supported by the transversely outer end portion.
