An air intake system for a vehicle has a conduit having an internal wall forming an air passage. A deflector is disposed within the air passage. A restricting structure is disposed within the air passage between the deflector and a conduit outlet. The restricting structure defines at least in part an opening substantially laterally aligned with the deflector. The restricting structure has a lateral wall disposed downstream of the deflector and extending within the air passage. The lateral wall has a front surface generally facing a conduit inlet, and a plurality of surface-increasing features provided on the front surface. Each of the surface-increasing features has a length of at least 1 mm measured from the front surface in a direction normal thereto. An air intake system having a collector connected to the deflector and positioned to collect at least some moisture from air flowing past the deflector is also described.

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 vehicle, in particular bicycle, with a frame, a handlebar connected to the frame rotatably about a steering axis, two front wheels and a rear wheel. In order to achieve a particularly pleasant driving behavior, the front wheels are rotatably mounted in front wheel hearings rigidly connected to the frame about front wheel axles, the rear wheel being mounted rotatably about a rear wheel axle in at least one rear wheel bearing, wherein at least one rear wheel bearing is rigidly connected to a swing arm which is pivotably connected to the frame about an articulation axis, the handlebar being coupled to the swing arm in this way that a movement of the handlebar about the steering axis causes an opposite movement of the swing arm about the articulation axis.

A three-wheeled vehicle may include one rear wheel and two front wheels coupled to a tiltable chassis, such that tilting of the chassis causes a corresponding tilting of the three wheels. The tiltable chassis includes a tiltable body coupled to a non-tilting frame by a pair of rotatable joints, such that the tiltable body is configured to rotate relative to the frame. A fore-and-aft connecting beam of the tiltable body extends beneath the frame to accommodate a battery compartment or other storage on top of the frame. A front tower extends upward from a front end of the connecting beam, above the frame, to couple to a tilt linkage and seat post of the vehicle. A rear tower extends upward from a rear end of the connecting beam to retain the rear wheel.

The present disclosure relates to a front chassis system of a tilting vehicle, and a front chassis system of a tilting vehicle. The system includes at least: a front swing arm-LH connected to and provided at a vehicle body and a front steering wheel-LH, and a front swing arm-RH connected to and provided at the vehicle body and a front steering wheel-RH; a front shock absorber-LH connected to and provided at the front swing arm-LH, and a front shock absorber-RH connected to and provided at the front swing arm-RH; a front tilt bar rotatably connected to and provided at the vehicle body, and connected to and provided at the front shock absorber-LH and the front shock absorber-RH; at least one front elastic roller provided at the vehicle body; and a steering device linked to and provided at a steering wheel part assembled on the vehicle body.

A modular scooter with suspension and collapsible components is provided. The modular scooter having a plurality of wheels attached to the underside of a large planar deck with a plurality of selectively, collapsible, telescoping handle bar posts configured for multiple riders thereon. The modular scooter also including a collapsible seat post and seat combination, allowing a passenger, such as child to sit during the ride. A wishbone, tilting suspension allowing a driver to lean into turns is also provided. The present invention also having the ability to be linked and interlocked remotely to other similar scooters or trailers and to be converted into other forms of three-wheeled transport such as, but not limited to a wagon, delivery scooter, and the like.
