Design and Fabrication of Tilting Trike

Abstract

Safety is the most crucial factor for two-wheelers. The tilting mechanism boosts the maximum speed along bends. The adoption of tilting mechanisms in automobiles would reduce the number of skid-related incidents. It will improve the vehicle's dynamic and directional stability, road grip, and passenger comfort. The tilting trike has a system that comprises a parallelogram connection, allowing it to tilt like any other two-wheeler. The tadpole form of the trike gives more stability than the delta design. The tilting mechanism is operably attached to the vehicle's frame by a series of vertically aligned bearings that hold it in place. The system guarantees that the independent wheels remain properly aligned during all motions. Key Words: tadpole, trike, skidding, directional stability, parallelogram linkage
