Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2014145878A1] A three- wheeled vehicle having an arrangement of wheels with, two forward wheels, one back wheel and a profile adjustment feature is described. The back wheel may be configured as the steering wheel, and in some cases is the only steering wheel. The two forward wheels are configured essentially parallel with, each other and the back wheel is configured essentially centered between the two forward wheels in a back position. This arrangement of the wheels provides for a stability that does not require a person to maintain balance to keep the vehicle in an upright position. The profile adjustment feature may automaticalIy adjust the height of the vehicle as a function of vehicle speed. As the vehicle speeds up, the height may be reduce to provide a more stable vehicle that is turned more by tilting the vehicle than by turning the back wheel.
