A cambering vehicle having a pair of trailing arms pivoted to the front steering frame for up and down swinging movement on either side of the steering frame and interconnected by differential gearing that stabilizes and holds the steering frame at a predetermined rake angle while permitting equal and opposite movement of the trailing arms. This gearing can be locked to lock the trailing arms and steering frame together for vehicle parking purposes. An adjustment is provided to permit the rake angle of the steering frame to be changed and to further permit the steering frame to be collapsed toward the trailing arms and locked to provide a low profile position for transportation or storage purposes.

A cambering vehicle for movement along a support surface comprising a steering frame sEcured at a first selected rake angle with respect to the support surface, a pair of laterally spaced and elongated trailing arms extending from said frame, pivot means pivotally connecting a forward end portion of each of said arms to said frame thereby supporting said arms for swinging movement on said pivot means, contact means adjacent to the free end portions of each of said trailing arms for engaging the support surface, steerable front contact means operatively supported on said frame for engaging the supporting surface, manual steering means operatively connected to said front steerable contact means, foot support means on each of said trailing arms for receiving the feet of an operator so that the operator can stand on the vehicle and manually grip said manual steering means, gear unit means interconnecting said trailing arms so that they swing in equal and opposite directions as said operator cambers said vehicle, said gear unit means incorporating first gear means secured to one of said arms and a second gear means secured to the other of said arms and additional gear means operatively connected to said steering frame and intermeshing with said first and second gear means to thereby provide a geared drive connection between said trailing arms so that they swing in equal and opposite directions, manual means operatively connected to said additional gear means for disengaging said additional gear means from meshing engagement with said first and second gear means to release the drive connection between said arms so that said frame can be pivoted toward said trailing arms and subsequently positioned at a selected angle with respect to said first selected rake angle.
