An articulated cambering vehicle in which a pair of trailing arms are interconnected to each other and to a steering frame by stabilizer linkage which includes a support and locking plate pivoted to the frame and a pair of side links each being pivotally connected to the support and locking plate and to the trailing arms. A locking device is employed to lock the plate at an infinite number of positions to lock up the vehicle in a stand-up position for parking purposes. One of the side links can be telescoped and shortened to allow the vehicle to be collapsed into a folded low-profile position. By locking the side link in the telescoped position the vehicle is rigidly maintained in the folded position.

A cambering vehicle comprising a main frame, right and left trailing arms extending rearwardly from said main frame, forward pivot connection means pivotally connecting one end of each of said arms to said main frame so that said trailing arms may swing in an up and down movement with respect to said forward pivot connection means, a support and locking plate, pivot means pivotally mounting said support and locking plate to said forward portion of said frame in spaced relation to said forward pivot connection means for said trailing arms, left and right link means connected to said crank by laterally spaced pivot means, each of said link means extending from said plate to a pivot connection with the associated trailing arm rearward of said forward pivot connection means, front contact means steerably mounted to said main frame, manual steering means connected to said front contact means, and rear contacT means for each of said trailing arms mounted at the rearward portions thereof foot rest means on each of said trailing arms rearward of said pivot connections with said link means to receive the feet of a vehicle operator so that an operator can stand on the vehicle and naturally camber the vehicle while the vehicle is moving, curved track means operatively connected to said plate and movable therewith, a follower for said track means operatively connected to said main frame and operative to secure said plate in a fixed position to stabilize said vehicle rigid in a three point stance for vehicle parking and means to foreshorten one of said links as said trailing arms are moved toward said main frame as said plate turns and said follower means moves relative to said track means to a position in which said vehicle is in a folded position, and means to rigidly secure said last mentioned link in said foreshortened position to maintain said vehicle in a collapsed position for stowage.
