Camber Control \ leaning suspension
ceebmoj - 9/7/08 at 07:26 AM

Hi all,

I have been thinking about using motor bike tyres on a project I have been sketching out suspension systems that will allow the wheal to lean over at it would on a bike however im struggling to come up with something that can lean more than 25deg from vertical in both directions I was aiming for 45deg the system would be electronically controlled by a mixture of speed and steering angle. I was thinking about using it in a trike with 2 wheals at the front.

Any way does anybody have pictures of leaning road going vehicles?

Thanks for the link however as the caver only leans on one single wheal I was trying to get the whole vehicle to lean

With conventional non-active suspension it would need a roll centre position above the c of g ---- which gives very funny handling.

I was reading a review of these and apparently they have superb handling far above that of an ordinary bike, I just can't like the look of the thing.

I was aiming for active suspension.
