The cambering module carries the vehicle operator who steers the vehicle by rotating a single front wheel about a substantially vertical axis and additionally leans in response to vehicle turn and his own will, the two modules are rotatable in relation to each other about an inclined camber axis extending longitudinally of the vehicle. The cambering module has cambering controls at a forward portion thereof to allow the operator to physically engage the controls with his feet for cambering the front module relative to the ground and rear modules.
