Abstract

The potential advantages of tilting trikes have been tantalizing for years: they can lean like a bike so that they do not have to be low, wide, or slow in turns; and they can keep the rider upright like a trike when stopped or going slow. Implementing this functionality, however, has been somewhat problematic. Many tilting trikes have been built in which the extra wheel only offers some redundant traction, in the case of inconsistent friction with the road surface. Some have been built with a so-called ''tilt-lock', in which the third wheel can also act as a kickstand to hold the trike rigid when stopped. A few tilting trikes have been built with sophisticated sensors, actuators, and control algorithms to assume the proper tilt angle in every situation, and the motorcycle press breathlessly announces the latest patent filings in this area from major motorcycle manufacturers.
