Abstract
A cambering vehicle having a pair of trailing arms pivoted to the front steering frame for up and down swinging movement on either side of the steering frame and interconnected by differential gearing that stabilizes and holds the steering frame at a predetermined rake angle while permitting equal and opposite movement of the trailing arms. This gearing can be locked to lock the trailing arms and steering frame together for vehicle parking purposes. An adjustment is provided to permit the rake angle of the steering frame to be changed and to further permit the steering frame to be collapsed toward the trailing arms and locked to provide a low profile position for transportation or storage purposes.
