The invention relates to a vehicle (1) provided with a frame (2) having a front frame pan (3) and a rear frame part (4) which can tilt with respect to one another. The vehicle (1) comprises three or more wheels (7, 7', 13), it being possible to rotate the front wheel (13) with respect to the steering column (18). In this case, a sensor (24) determines the angle of rotation between the front wheel (13) and the steering column (18) and, as a function of this angle of rotation, actuates the tilting means (9, 9') of the vehicle. As a result of the consequent tilting of the front frame pan (3) and as a consequence of the speed at which the vehicle (1) is travelling, the front wheel (13) and the tilting angle will automatically adopt the correct level for allowing the vehicle (1) to travel through the bend in a stable manner at the given speed. Controlling the tilt via the difference in angular rotation between the steering column (18), which is flexibly connected to the front wheel (13), and the front wheel (13), it is possible to control the tilt in a simple and robust manner.
L'invention concerne un véhicule (1) muni d'un châssis (2) comportant une partie avant (3) et une partie arrière (4) pouvant baculer l'une par rapport à l'autre. Le véhicule (1) comprend trois roues ou plus (7, 7', 13), la roue avant (13) pouvant être tournée relativement à la colonne de direction (18), auquel cas un capteur (24) détermine l'angle de rotation entre la roue avant (13) et la colonne de direction (18) et, en fonction dudit angle de rotation, actionne les moyens de basculement (9, 9') du véhicule. En fonction du basculement consécutif de la partie avant (3) et de la vitesse de déplacement du véhicule (1), la roue avant (13) et l'angle de basculement adoptent automatiquement la position adéquate permettant au véhicule (1) de négocier le virage de manière stable à la vitesse donnée. En contrôlant le basculement compte tenu de la différence de la rotation angulaire entre la colonne de direction (18) qui est raccordée de manière souple à la roue avant (13) et cette dernière, on arrive à contrôler le basculement de façon simple et robuste.
