Abstract
A leaning suspension system for vehicles includes suspension arms that rotate about the same pivoting point. A swing frame also rotates about the same pivoting point. The center of gravity of the vehicle remains lower than the pivoting point even when the vehicle is leaning. A wheel mount assembly is rotatably mounted to a suspension arm. A shock absorber has an end that is connected to the wheel mount assembly and another end that is connected to the suspension arm. A control unit of the vehicle includes a computer that controls actuators of the leaning suspension system based on received sensor information. The vehicle can be a tricycle or a quadracycle.
