A leaning vehicle includes a vehicle body, a left front wheel, a right front wheel, a lean mechanism, and a suspension. The left front wheel is positioned on the first side (left side) in the vehicle width direction. The right front wheel is positioned on the second side (right side) opposite to the first side in the vehicle width direction. The lean mechanism connects the left front wheel and the right front wheel and vertically vibrates integrally with both of the left front wheel and the right front wheel. The suspension is positioned so as to overlap the center of the vehicle in the vehicle width direction, connects the lean mechanism to the vehicle body, and reduces vibration transmitted from a road surface to the vehicle body via the left front wheel and the right front wheel.

A battery powered electric scooter (100) having two front wheels, a deck (102) and tiller (104), and a dual mode steering system responsive to turn the wheels upon rotation of the tiller (104) about a vertical axis and/or upon rotation of the deck (102) about a horizontal axis.

The invention relates to a three-wheeled electric vehicle (10) comprising a front-axle device (22) having two steerable front wheels (24a, 24b) which are aligned substantially parallel to each other when traveling straight ahead; a rear-axle device (12) with a driven rear wheel (14); and a vehicle frame (26) on which the front-axle device (22) and the rear-axle device (12) are supported; wherein the front-axle device (22) is designed such that when the steering angle is rotated, the vehicle frame (26) and the front wheels (24a, 24b) may be tilted in the direction of the rotated steering angle. The compactness value KW, which is calculated from the ratio of the distance SP between the front wheels (24, 24B) when arranged substantially parallel to each other for a straight-ahead travel to the wheelbase RS between the front wheels (24a, 24b) and the rear wheel (14), said wheelbase being measured when the front wheels (24, 24b) are positioned for a straight-ahead travel, satisfies the following condition: KW=SP/RS 0.35≤KW≤0.80, in particular 0.62≤KW≤0.78.

Provided is a traveling apparatus including at least, with respect to a traveling direction, a front wheel and a rear wheel and on which a user rides when travelling. The traveling apparatus includes a front wheel supporting member configured to rotatably support the front wheel, a rear wheel supporting member configured to rotatably support the rear wheel, an adjusting mechanism configured to adjust a wheel base length between the front wheel and the rear wheel by changing a relative position of the front wheel supporting member and the rear wheel supporting member, and a driving unit configured to drive at least one of the front wheel and rear wheel. The wheel base length adjusted by the adjusting mechanism is associated with a speed of the traveling apparatus achieved by driving the driving unit in such a way that the longer the wheel base length, the greater the speed becomes.

An all-terrain vehicle has an air ventilation system positioned adjacent a rearmost point of the front ground engaging members and directing air rearwardly through an engine compartment, wherein the air ventilation system includes at least one air scoop adjacent a front of the vehicle for directing the air. In addition, an ATV is disclosed having a rear rack having an integral storage bin, where the storage bin is one piece with the rear rack. The storage bin is sealed.

Transportation vehicles, suspension systems and related methods are provided herein. A three wheeled vehicle can include a frame having a first side and second side and a front end and a rear end and a steerable front wheel secured to the front end of the frame. The vehicle can also include a first trailing wheel arm with a first rear wheel and a second trailing wheel arm with a second rear wheel. The vehicle can also include a central suspension joint secured to the frame on which the first trailing wheel arm and the second trailing wheel arm are rotatably secured on either side of the frame. Further, the vehicle can include a horizontal linkage having a first end and a second end and a midsection between the first and second ends. The horizontal linkage can be pivotably connected to a pintle on the frame at the midsection beneath the first and second trailing wheel arms with the horizontal linkage linked to an underside of the first trailing wheel arm between the first wheel and the central suspension joint proximal to the first end of the horizontal linkage and linked to an underside of the second trailing wheel arm between the second wheel and the central suspension joint proximal to the second end of the horizontal linkage.

The motor vehicle (1) comprises at least one rear driving wheel (5) and two front steered wheels (7′, 7″). A tilting four bar linkage (11) allows the motor vehicle to perform a tilting movement, for example, when cornering. Support arms (21′, 21″) for front steered wheels (7′, 7″), which rotate around steering axes (21A′, 21A″) and are joined to each other by a steering bar (23), are associated with the tilting four bar linkage. Each wheel is constrained to the respective support arm with the interposition of a suspension (33; 33″). A tilting locking device comprises a brake (53′, 53″) which locks the springing movement of the respective suspension and the tilting movement of the four bar linkage.
