Abstract: A tilt control system for a sidecar and a motorcycle. The tilt control system can include a main frame, a tilting frame, and an actuator. The actuator can be coupled to the main frame and to the tilting frame, and can be configured to control tilting of the tilting frame relative to the main frame. The tilt control system can include a sensor, and a controller in communication with the actuator and the sensor. The controller can be configured to determine an operating parameter based on sensor data received from the sensor, compare the operating parameter to a threshold criteria, and cause the actuator to control the orientation of the tilting frame relative to main frame, based on the comparison of the operating parameter to the threshold criteria.

Abstract: A suspension system is provided for a sidecar of a motorcycle, which includes a sidecar frame and a wheel with an axle. The suspension system can include, a support frame pivotally secured to the sidecar frame, and a trailing link pivotally secured to the support frame at a leading end of the trailing link. A trailing end of the trailing link can be configured to trail behind the leading end of the trailing link relative to a direction of forward motion of the sidecar. The trailing end of the trailing link being configured to rotatably support the axle of the wheel.
