LEANING REVERSE TRIKE WITH DOUBLE WISHBONE SUSPENSION SYSTEM
Keywords:
Leaning mechanism, Independent suspension, Reverse trike, Wishbone suspension, StabilityAbstract
A leaning vehicle has a frame that pivots relative to a pivotable frame member about a pivot axis. A preferably Three wheeled vehicle having tilting characteristics that allows the vehicle to have substantial leaning properties similar to those offered by an inline two wheel vehicles, but that does not require complex linkages or control system to operate effectively. Purpose of designing this mechanism in order to increase the cornering safety and stability of the vehicle at high speeds also for person with disabilities. For demonstration, this mechanism is installed in Honda Activa model 2004 because it is gear less vehicle, so person with physical disabilities able to drive it. Independent Double Wishbone Suspension system in front two wheels is used to get good steering and lean property. Leaning mechanism is carried out for a normal reverse trike to give it the flexibility of a two wheeled motor
cycle. Leaning a vehicle can provide many performance and design advantages including greater stability while turning as well as reduced probability of roll over while taking a turn.
