초록 ▼

A vehicle includes a frame, an engine, a steering assembly, a steerable wheel, a flywheel assembly, and a controller. The frame has a front end and a rear end and defines a roll axis extending between the front end and the rear end. The engine is supported by the frame. The steering assembly is pivotally coupled with the frame and is pivotable about a steering axis. The steerable wheel is rotatably coupled with the steering assembly. The flywheel assembly comprises an inertial mass and is coupled with the frame. The inertial mass is rotatable about a flywheel axis. The controller is in communication with the flywheel assembly and is configured to facilitate rotation of the inertial mass in one of a counterclockwise direction and a clockwise direction in response to pivoting of the steering assembly in a leftward direction and a rightward direction, respectively. Methods are also provided.

1. A vehicle comprising: a frame having a front end and a rear end and defining a roll axis extending between the front end and the rear end;an engine supported by the frame;a steering assembly pivotally coupled with the frame and pivotable about a steering axis;a steerable wheel rotatably coupled with the steering assembly;a flywheel assembly comprising an inertial mass and being coupled with the frame, the inertial mass being rotatable about a flywheel axis; anda controller coupled with the flywheel assembly and configured to facilitate rotation of the inertial mass in one of a counterclockwise direction and a clockwise direction in response to pivoting of the steering assembly in a leftward direction and a rightward direction, respectively, wherein the controller is configured to inhibit rotation of the inertial mass during operation of the vehicle below a threshold speed. 2. The vehicle of claim 1 comprising a steering assembly sensor associated with the steering assembly and in communication with the controller to facilitate detection of pivoting of the steering assembly in the leftward direction and the rightward direction. 3. The vehicle of claim 1 wherein the controller is configured to inhibit rotation of the inertial mass when the steering assembly is in a substantially straight-forward position. 4. The vehicle of claim 1 wherein the controller is configured to control an angular velocity of the inertial mass according to pivoting of the steering assembly and a speed of the vehicle. 5. The vehicle of claim 1 wherein the threshold speed is about 15 M.P.H. 6. The vehicle of claim 1 wherein the flywheel axis is substantially parallel with the roll axis. 7. The vehicle of claim 6 wherein the flywheel axis is not coaxial with the roll axis. 8. The vehicle of claim 1 further comprising a steering damper coupled with the frame and the steering assembly, the steering damper being configured to selectively dampen pivoting of the steering assembly. 9. The vehicle of claim 8 wherein the steering damper comprises an electronic steering damper in communication with the controller and wherein the controller is configured to operate the steering damper in conjunction with rotation of the inertial mass. 10. The vehicle of claim 1 further comprising a radiator coupled with the frame, wherein the flywheel assembly is disposed between the radiator and the steering assembly. 11. The vehicle of claim 1 comprising a motorcycle. 12. A method for operating a motorcycle, the motorcycle comprising a flywheel assembly having an inertial mass that is rotatable about a flywheel axis, the method comprising: detecting pivoting of a steering assembly of the motorcycle in one of a leftward direction and a rightward direction;rotating the flywheel assembly in one of a counterclockwise direction and a clockwise direction in response to pivoting of the steering assembly in one of a leftward direction and a rightward direction, respectively; andinhibiting rotation of the inertial mass during operation of the motorcycle below a threshold speed. 13. The method of claim 12 further comprising inhibiting rotation of the inertial mass when the steering assembly is in a substantially straight-forward position. 14. The method of claim 12 further comprising controlling an angular velocity of the inertial mass in response to pivoting of the steering assembly and a speed of the motorcycle. 15. The method of claim 12 further comprising operating an electronic steering damper in conjunction with the inertial mass. 16. A motorcycle comprising: a frame having a front end and a rear end and defining a roll axis extending between the front end and the rear end;an engine supported by the frame;a steering assembly pivotally coupled with the frame and pivotable about a steering axis;a steerable wheel rotatably coupled with the steering assembly;a flywheel assembly comprising an inertial mass and being coupled with the frame, the inertial mass being rotatable about a flywheel axis;a controller in communication with the flywheel assembly; anda steering assembly sensor associated with the steering assembly and in communication with the controller, the steering assembly sensor configured to detect pivoting of the steering assembly;wherein the controller is configured: facilitate rotation of the inertial mass in one of a counterclockwise direction and a clockwise direction in response to pivoting of the steering assembly in a leftward direction and a rightward direction, respectively;inhibit rotation of the inertial mass when the steering assembly is provided in a substantially straight-forward position;control an angular velocity of the inertial mass according to a speed of the motorcycle and a position of the steering assembly; andinhibit rotation of the inertial mass during operation of the motorcycle below a threshold speed. 17. The motorcycle of claim 16 further comprising an electronic steering damper coupled with the frame and the steering assembly and configured to selectively dampen pivoting of the steering assembly.
