VEHICLE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2008/001863
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Enabled is to lighten the load on a rider and to make the rider senses a turning state at
the turning time of a transverse two-wheeled vehicle. A transverse acceleration (a)
at a turn controlling time is detected to make a next inclination control in accordance
with the magnitude of the acceleration. (a) In the case of an acceleration (a)
≤ a predetermined threshold (a0), the vehicle is left uninclined to
prevent the vehicle body from being unnecessarily inclined and rocked against a
small centrifugal force, thereby to improve the riding comfortableness. (b) In
the case of the acceleration (a) > the threshold (a0), a riding portion
is inclined such that the inclination angle θ1 may become the
larger as the acceleration (a) becomes the higher. This can reduce the load on
the rider against the centrifugal force. (c) As the acceleration (a) becomes the
higher, the riding portion is so inclined the more as to increase the difference between
the balanced inclination angle of the vehicle body and the inclination angle
of the riding portion, so that the rider can bodily sense the increase/decrease of
the centrifugal force.
