Tilting vehicle
First Claim
1. A vehicle (1) provided with at least three wheels (17, 18, 19), with a first frame part (2) that is provided with at least two footrest positions (14, 15) and a second frame part (3) that is connected to the first frame part in such a way that it can tilt about a tilting axis (5) running in the longitudinal direction, which second frame part (3) comprises a control element (7) and a driver'"'"'s seat (6), characterized in that a tilting element (8) is connected to the first frame part (2) and the second frame part (3), in order to exert a tilting force and/or moment of force upon the second frame part (3) on the basis of a control signal, a sensor (9) being connected to the first frame part (2) for the purpose of measuring a force or moment exerted by a preparer upon a first frame part (2) and/or to determine a position of the rider relative to the footboard, which sensor (9) is connected on the other side to the tilting element (8) and feeds the control signal to the tilting element.

Abstract
A vehicle provided with at least three wheels, with a first frame part having at least two footboards, and a second frame part. The second frame part is connected to the first frame part in such a way that it can tilt about a tilting axis running in the longitudinal direction. The second frame part includes a control element and a driver'"'"'s seat. A tilting member is connected to a first and second frame part, in order to exert a tilting force upon the second frame part on the basis of a control signal, a sensor being connected to the first frame part for measuring a force or moment exerted by a driver upon the first frame part and/or to determine a position of the rider relative to the footboard. The sensor is connected to the tilting member and feeds the control signal to the tilting member.
