| Abstract: |
A narrow track cambering vehicle having a steerable front wheel and a pair of laterally separated rear wheels suspended on trailing arms mounted for independent swinging movement in separate and parallel planes. The arms form part of a cambering system controlled by cables and tillers actuated by foot pedals which allow the operator to vary vehicle camber independent of steering to maximize vehicle cornering through a wide range of turns at varying speeds.
