Leaning vehicle and vehicle leaning unit

A leaning vehicle includes a base member, an upper arm, a lower arm, a first support member, a second support member, a first wheel, a second wheel, and a steering operation member. The upper arm, the lower arm, the first support member, the second support member constitute a parallel link mechanism. The first wheel is movable integrally with the first support member in a turning direction of the base member. The second wheel is movable integrally with the second support member in the turning direction of the base member. According to turning of the base member by operating the steering operation member, all of the upper arm, the lower arm, the first support member, the second support member, the first wheel, and the second wheel turn around a turning center of the base member.

Three-wheeled tilting vehicle

A tiltable vehicle is configured to transform between an autonomous mode and a rideable mode by pivoting the handlebars and steering column of the vehicle about a pitch axis. In the autonomous mode, the steering column is folded back toward the chassis and a tiltable chassis of the vehicle is prevented from tilting. In the rideable mode, the steering column is unfolded and the chassis is free to tilt. In some examples, a tiltable vehicle includes features beneficial for vehicle-sharing, such as parking devices or a basket. These features may be included on any suitable vehicle and are not limited to use on transforming vehicles.

Child swing steering vehicle

A child swing steering vehicle comprises: a vehicle frame; wheels disposed at the bottom of the vehicle frame; steering wheels disposed in rear or front of the wheels; a steering mechanism to steer the steering wheels when the child's body is tilted to the left or right, the steering wheels are connected to the vehicle frame via the steering mechanism; the steering vehicle further comprising auxiliary wheels; the left and right sides of the vehicle frame are respectively provided with at least one auxiliary wheel; a sum of the number of the wheels and the steering wheels is greater than or equal to three, and the bottom of the wheels and the bottom of the steering wheels are both located in the same plane; when the child swing steering vehicle is turning, the bottom of the auxiliary wheel is located in the plane, thereby enabling a good stability in steering.

Variable wheeled vehicle

A vehicle includes a main body configured to allow a user to ride on the main body, two driving wheels rotatably coupled to the main body, and a controlling wheel part rotatably coupled to the main body to control a direction of the vehicle in which the main body travels at a specific drive velocity by making contact with a ground surface to rotate about a vertical direction in a three-wheel mode. The main body includes a seat part formed to receive the user in a seated position, a steering part configured to obtain an inclination degree to perform steering based on the inclination degree in which the user seated on the seat part is inclined, in the three-wheel mode, and a post configured to connect the steering part with the seat part.

LEANING-TYPE VEHICLE

A leaning vehicle includes a vehicle body, a left wheel, a right wheel, left and right bearings, left and right axle, left arm, right arm, and lean mechanism. The left arm supports the left wheel from inside in a vehicle width direction. The right arm supports the right wheel from inside in the vehicle width direction. The lean mechanism causes the left wheel and the right wheel to lean about a front-rear direction as a rotation center when the vehicle body leans about the front-rear direction as a rotation center. The single bearing is inserted into a hub hole of the left wheel. The single bearing is inserted into a hub hole of the right wheel.
