A mobility vehicle may comprise a frame, a first pivot arm, a second pivot arm, and a suspension assembly. The first pivot arm may be coupled to the frame and coupled to a drive wheel. The second pivot arm may be coupled to the frame and coupled to a ground engaging caster wheel. The suspension assembly may be coupled to the frame. The suspension assembly may include a first spring assembly and a second spring assembly. The first spring assembly may be disposed about a first spring axis and coupled to the first pivot arm. The second spring assembly may be disposed about a second spring axis and coupled to the second pivot arm. The first spring axis and the second spring axis may be disposed relative to each other at an angle of no greater than about 150? when the mobility vehicle is operating on horizontal ground.

The invention relates to a vehicle which includes at least four wheels and a base. Said wheels are attached in pairs at the base via connections and form a bogie consisting of a pair of wheels. Said bogies are rotatably hinged onto the base such that the pivot point of the path of the wheels is not physically present and said pivot point is located under the rotational axis of the wheels when the bogie is horizontal. The rotation of a bogie is transmitted by a transmission means to the other bogie such that the slant of each bogie in relation to the base forms an angle of identical but opposite value.

A damping control system for a vehicle having a suspension located between a plurality of ground engaging members and a vehicle frame includes at least one adjustable shock absorber having an adjustable damping characteristic. The system also includes a controller coupled to each adjustable shock absorber to adjust the damping characteristic of each adjustable shock absorber, and a user interface coupled to the controller and accessible to a driver of the vehicle. The user interface includes at least one user input to permit manual adjustment of the damping characteristic of the at least one adjustable shock absorber during operation of the vehicle. Vehicle sensors are also be coupled to the controller to adjust the damping characteristic of the at least one adjustable shock absorber based vehicle conditions determined by sensor output signals.

A multi-section shock-linked vehicle suspension system is disclosed that transfers force from one point to another point in a system of interrelated shock absorbers. Force can be transmitted from one shock absorber to another using hydraulics or a gas such as air or nitrogen in a space-efficient form factor, without the use of levers and mechanical force transfer rods. The hydraulic or gas force can be tuned using valves to provide different suspension characteristics. The multi-section shock-linked system provides the ability to share wheel loads across the vehicle by using shock absorbers that are shared in addition to the individual shock absorber associated with each wheel.
