摘要:
The invention relates to a vehicle (1) provided with a frame (2) having a front frame part (3) and a rear frame part (4) which can tilt with respect to one another. The vehicle (1) comprises three or more wheels (7, 7′, 13), it being possible to rotate the front wheel (13) with respect to the steering column (18). In this case, a sensor (24) determines the angle of rotation between the front wheel (13) and the steering column (18) and, as a function of this angle of rotation, actuates the tilting means (9, 9′) of the vehicle. As a result of the consequent tilting of the front frame part (3) and as a consequence of the speed at which the vehicle (1) is travelling, the front wheel (13) and the tilting angle will automatically adopt the correct level for allowing the vehicle (1) to travel through the bend in a stable manner at the given speed. Controlling the tilt via the difference in angular rotation between the steering column (18), which is flexibly connected to the front wheel (13), and the front wheel (13), it is possible to control the tilt in a simple and robust manner.
