WIPO Patent Application WO/2021/131706
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This leaning vehicle comprises a vehicle body, a left front wheel, a right front wheel, a leaning mechanism (42), and a leaning brake mechanism (50). The leaning mechanism (42) causes the left front wheel and the right front wheel to incline with the longitudinal direction as the center of rotation when the vehicle body is inclined with the longitudinal direction as the center of rotation. The leaning brake mechanism (50) acts as a brake on a leaning operation executed by the leaning mechanism (42). The leaning brake mechanism (50) comprises a brake disc (51) and a brake pad (52b). The brake disc (51) is attached to an upper arm (43) or a lower arm (44). The brake pad (52b) is attached such that the position thereof relative to the brake disc (51) changes during the leaning operation, and said brake pad (52b) generates frictional force against the brake disc (51) during the leaning operation.
