The invention relates to a curve-tilting vehicle, e.g. a three-wheeled vehicle (30), comprising means for laterally tilting (4) at least one section (5) of the vehicle by a tilting axis (6) that runs substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis (3) of the vehicle such that the center of gravity of the vehicle can be displaced perpendicular to the direction of travel when driving, especially in curves or on a sloped or uneven ground. The inventive vehicle comprises at least one vehicle seat (8a) that is disposed in the tilting section (5) of the vehicle and is allocated to the driver who steers the vehicle. The vehicle further comprises means (9a) for detecting a lateral force of the seat, which the body of the driver applies at least to one zone of the vehicle seat (8a) in a lateral direction (10a) extending perpendicular to the direction of travel. In one embodiment, the lateral force of the seat is detected using a pivotable spring-centered vehicle seat (8a). The detecting means (9a) are effectively connected to the lateral tilting means (4) in such a way that lateral tilting occurs in accordance with the detected lateral force of the seat while the tilting speed is a function at least of the lateral force of the seat and the vehicle speed, the tilting speed increasing as the lateral force of the seat rises at a factor that decreases as the speed of the vehicle goes up. The invention further relates to a method for tilting such a vehicle. |
