  • Support frame assembly to enhance high-speed stability for a narrow track vehicle during turns
    Patent number: 11453449
    Abstract: A support frame assembly mounted to a narrow track vehicle to enhance stability during turns is provided. The support frame assembly includes a pivot frame assembly coupled to the narrow track vehicle and having a horizontal beam connected to a vertical beam, the horizontal beam supporting the seat of the narrow track vehicle thereon, a fixed frame assembly coupled to the narrow track vehicle and having a horizontal beam pivotably mounted to the vertical beam of the pivot frame assembly, and a pair of struts coupled to the pivot frame assembly and fixed frame assembly. The pair of struts apply counteracting forces on the vertical beam of the pivot frame assembly in response to pivotal movement of the pivot frame assembly relative to the fixed frame assembly.
