A vehicle with a tilting frame comprises a main frame with at least one ground contacting element such as a wheel, skid, caterpillar chain or a float attached thereto. The vehicle can be steered by means of an axle pivot steering arrangement. The tilting frame, tiltable relative to the main frame, has a tilt axis with a steering tube having a steering axis running obliquely or perpendicularly to the tilt axis. Also provided are at least one track rod and a track rod actuation element characterized by the track rod actuation element being movable relative to the tilting frame. During cornering, by tilting the tilting frame about the tilt axis and, independently thereof, by rotation of the steering tube about the steering axis, the track rod causes the ground contact element to undergo a steering movement without a substantial changing in the camber of the steerable contact element.

A vehicle according to claim 1, characterised in that the guide element is fixed to the tilting frame. 6. A vehicle according to claim 1, characterised in that a guide element is fixed to the main frame. 7. A vehicle according to claim 1, characterised in that the tilting frame is connected to the main frame via mounting units on a tilt axis lying in the direction of travel. 8. A vehicle according to claim 1, characterised in that at least a sitting or standing area for the driver, a handlebar or steering wheel and an associated steering tube is arranged on the tilting frame. 9. A vehicle according to claim 1, characterised in that a drive unit is arranged on the tilting frame and a part-turn gearbox is provided for bridging of the tilting movement between the tilting frame and the main frame, and the part-turn gearbox has at least one ball drive joint. 10. A vehicle according to claim 1, characterised in that a means for locking the tilting frame relative to the main frame is provided. 11. A vehicle according to claim 1 wherein the ground contact element comprises a wheel, a skid, a caterpillar chain or a float. 12. A vehicle according to claim 1 wherein the steering tube is coupled to the tilting frame such that on tilting the frame the steering will be also tilted. 13. Vehicle having a main frame to which there is fixed at least one ground contact element, which can be steered by means of an axle pivot steering arrangement,a tilting frame which is tiltable relative to the main frame (1) and has a tilt axis,a steering tube having a steering axis running obliquely or perpendicularly to the tilt axis,at least one track rod anda track rod actuation element characterised in that the track rod actuation element is movable relative to the tilting frame andby tilting of the tilting frame about the tilt axis and independently thereof by rotation of the steering tube about the steering axis is actuated such that the steerable contact element undergoes a steering movement by means of the at least one track rod, without a substantial change in the camber of the at least one steerable contact element taking place as a result during cornering,characterised in that the track rod actuation element is fixed to the steering tube at a distance from the tilt axis and a distance from the steering axis so that this can be moved by tilting of the tilting frame and independently thereof by rotation of the steering tube, for actuation of the at least one track rod. 14. Vehicle having a main frame to which there is fixed at least one ground contact element, which can be steered by means of an axle pivot steering arrangement,a tilting frame which is tiltable relative to the main frame (1) and has a tilt axis,a steering tube having a steering axis running obliquely or perpendicularly to the tilt axis,at least one track rod anda track rod actuation element characterised in that the track rod actuation element is movable relative to the tilting frame andby tilting of the tilting frame about the tilt axis and independently thereof by rotation of the steering tube about the steering axis is actuated such that the steerable contact element undergoes a steering movement by means of the at least one track rod, without a substantial change in the camber of the at least one steerable contact element taking place as a result during cornering,characterised in that a castor of the at least one steerable contact element causes, on steering in thereof, a righting moment on the tilting frame and the steering tube. 15. A vehicle according to claim 14, characterised in that a castor angle γ is variable, so that the righting moment can be adapted individually to the wishes of the driver.
