Abstract
A three-wheeled vehicle having two parts that can be tilted around a longitudinal axis. A rear part has a chassis for two-track wheels and the front part, which can be tilted relative to the rear part, accommodates a driver seat. Connected to a front end of the front part is a tiltable front wheel suspension to which a front wheel and an engine and gears for the front-wheel drive are attached. The two vehicle parts that can be tilted relative to each other each support or form a body which can also be designed for the front part as a monocoque and forms a closed and heatable driver cabin.

In a motor-driven three-wheeled vehicle for road traffic having two parts (1, 2 ) that can be tilted around a longitudinal axis, a rear part (2) of the two parts (1, 2) having a chassis for two-track rear wheels (6) and a front part (1) of the two parts (1, 2) can be tilted relative to the rear part (2) and accommodates a driver seat (22), the improvement comprising:
- a front wheel suspension having two triangular steering elements (13, 14;
- 66,14) arranged one on top of the other and each tiltable up and down around a horizontal axis across the longitudinal axis of the vehicle and bearing on a front side a steering axle of a front wheel (7), and at least one triangular steering element (14, 66) rests against one of a frame (12) and a monocoque (52) of the front part (1) using a first strut with a first shock absorber (16, 69).
