[0086] First embodiment: a tricycle with a steered front axle ( Figure 1-3 )
[0087] figure 1 A vehicle, generally denoted by 1, is shown. The vehicle has a self-supporting body 2 . In the exemplary embodiment, the body 2 is formed from a tube structure explained in more detail below. The different tubes are welded together in such a way that a T-shaped basic pattern (Grundriss) is produced. This is for example in image 3 can be seen in. It goes without saying that rectangular basic patterns can also be formed and / or closed or semi-closed bodies can be used. Finally, it is also possible to use a load-bearing frame with or without an inner lining.
[0088] The body 2 accommodates a drive 3 in the form of an electric motor. It goes without saying that any other motor, for example a petrol or diesel motor, can also be used. The electric motor is supplied with energy from an energy store in the form of a rechargeable battery. Replacement batteries can also use replace...

[0103] Second embodiment: a tricycle with a steered rear axle ( Figure 4 )
[0104] exist Figure 4 An alternative vehicle 101 is shown in FIG. 2 , which has two wheels 114 arranged coaxially with one another on the rear axle 106 . In contrast to the first exemplary embodiment described above, the rear axle 106 instead of the front axle 105 is now connected to the steering unit 109 or forms part of it. In this embodiment, no steering unit is provided at the front axle 105 . The drive wheel is now the wheel 151 at the front axle 105 .
[0105] The steering unit 109 is rotatably connected to the vehicle body 102 around a steering shaft 108 . As in the above exemplary embodiments, the pitch angle 118 and the steering angle 119 determine the driving style.
[0106] with in figure 1 In contrast to the exemplary embodiment shown in , steering axis 108 is inclined upwards opposite to direction of travel 116 . The effect according to the invention is thus achieved always when ...

[0111] Third embodiment: a vehicle with two steered axles ( Figures 5 to 8 )
[0112] exist Figure 5 An alternative vehicle 201 is shown in FIG. 2 , which has two wheels arranged coaxially with one another on the front axle 205 and two wheels arranged coaxially with one another on the rear axle 206 . The vehicle is a combination of embodiments 1 and 2 and operates in the same type and manner. The steering axis 208 of the front axle and the steering axis 208' of the rear axle are described by the pitch angles alpha_lv and alpha_1h, respectively. In order to ensure continuous ground contact (Bodenkontakt) of all four wheels with the travel path 13 , it is necessary that alpha_1v=alpha_1h.
[0113] exist Figure 7 An alternative configuration of the exemplary embodiment with a lower pitch angle is shown above. The front steering axis 208 has an angle alpha_2v, and the rear steering axis 208' has an angle alpha_2h. These angles must also correspond to the relationship alph...
