Abstract
Systems, methods and apparatus are provided through which in some implementations a motorized tricycle includes a lean mechanism and an active system that is operably coupled to the lean mechanism that receives an signal indicative of an interaction with human, that is operable to detect a lean of the body of the human and that is operable to receive a sensed movement on the seat via multisensory devices, and to generate and send a signal to the lean mechanism from the signal, the lean and the sensed movement.
Claims20
A motorized tricycle comprising:
- a frame;
- two front wheels operably coupled to the frame;
- one rear wheel operably coupled to the frame;
- a suspension system operably coupled to one or both front wheels, the suspension system including a lean actuator in which one end of the lean actuator is connected to the frame, the lean actuator being configured to tilt the frame of the motorized tricycle.
A motorized vehicle comprising:
- a frame;
- two front wheels operably coupled to the frame;
- two rear wheels operably coupled to the frame;
- a suspension system operably coupled to one of the wheels, the suspension system including an electronic suspension system in which one end of the electronic suspension system is connected to the frame, the electronic suspension system being configured to tilt the frame of the motorized vehicle.
