Three-wheeled motor vehicle with pivotable frame

摘要

A three-wheeled motor vehicle having a two-part frame construction in which a front frame member includes the front steerable wheel assembly and the supports for the driver's seat, and the rear frame assembly includes support for the engine and a driven pair of rear wheels. The front and rear frames are pivotally joined to allow rotational motion of the front frame assembly relative to the rear frame assembly about a generally longitudinal axis, and an arcuate guide bar and associated slide bearings are used to couple the rearmost seat supports of the front frame to the rear frame providing desired rigidity to the composite frame structure.
