A motor vehicle with at least a first driving wheel tilting with respect to a first rotation axis transverse to the motor vehicle and a second driving wheel tilting with respect to a second rotation axis transverse to the motor vehicle has a power source for power generation and a transmission for power transmission to the first tilting driving wheel and second tilting driving wheel.

A tilting vehicle having a steering system actively steering a front axle and a rear axle having two wheels that can be deflected individually in a vertical manner with respect to a vehicle body and that are independent of the steering system. The wheels of the rear axle can be steered by passive steering device configured to generate a steering force because of a vertical deflection of the wheels as the vehicle body tilts to one side. The steering force causing wheels to steer towards the opposite side.

An electric three wheeled vehicle includes a vehicle chassis supporting a vehicle operator seat or saddle. The vehicle chassis defines a storage region beneath the vehicle operator seat or saddle. One or more energy storage devices for powering one or more electric motors of the vehicle are located within the storage region and are supported by the chassis. The storage region and/or the energy storage device(s) each form an elongate three-dimensional volume having a long axis that is parallel to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle. A vehicle operator, when seated upon the seat or saddle, sits astride the one or more energy storage devices. A handlebar steering assembly is operatively coupled to a pair of front wheels to provide steering. The vehicle includes a single rear wheel.

An electric vehicle includes: a first inverter circuit; a second inverter circuit; an inverter control device that outputs first switching signals to the first inverter circuit and second switching signals to the second inverter circuit; first signal lines that transfer the first switching signals to the first inverter circuit; second signal lines that transfer the second switching signals to the second inverter circuit; and a signal blocking circuit inserted in the first signal lines and the second signal lines, the signal blocking circuit being configured to output to the first inverter circuit first OFF signals in place of the first switching signals, and outputting to the second inverter circuit second OFF signals in place of the second switching signals, when receiving at least one of the first abnormality signal and the second abnormality signal.

Foldable electrical vehicles and related charging infrastructure are described. The foldable electrical vehicle generally includes three structural members (front and rear wheel-bearing structural members and a seat-bearing structural member) that are pivotally interconnected along their lengths such that they may be pivoted between a closed position wherein the three structural members are disposed roughly parallel to each other in a compact folded configuration, and an open riding configuration wherein an angular relation is formed between the structural members. The rear wheel-bearing structural member may comprise one or more foldable wheels pivotably interconnected thereto.

The HOVERTRIKE is an Electric Standing Trike, it is a light sport and recreational vehicle with the capabilities of riding on the road and off the road. It is equipped with three wheels and three motors, one inside each wheel. At the front, it looks like a standard e-bike with a hub motor inside the wheel and a standard bicycle fork with suspension, brakes, and handlebar. The back frame is equipped with a hub motor, independent suspension, and disc brakes for tilting and cornering.

An electric three wheeled vehicle includes a vehicle chassis supporting a vehicle operator seat or saddle. The vehicle chassis defines a storage region beneath the vehicle operator seat or saddle. One or more energy storage devices for powering one or more electric motors of the vehicle are located within the storage region and are supported by the chassis. The storage region and/or the energy storage device(s) each form an elongate three-dimensional volume having a long axis that is parallel to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle. A vehicle operator, when seated upon the seat or saddle, sits astride the one or more energy storage devices. A handlebar steering assembly is operatively coupled to a pair of front wheels to provide steering. The vehicle includes a single rear wheel.
