Abstract
An articulated cambering vehicle in which a pair of trailing arms are interconnected to each other and to a steering frame by stabilizer linkage which includes a support and locking plate pivoted to the frame and a pair of side links each being pivotally connected to the support and locking plate and to the trailing arms. A locking device is employed to lock the plate at an infinite number of positions to lock up the vehicle in a stand-up position for parking purposes. One of the side links can be telescoped and shortened to allow the vehicle to be collapsed into a folded low-profile position. By locking the side link in the telescoped position the vehicle is rigidly maintained in the folded position.
