  • Patent number: 7938426
    Abstract: A vehicle assembly includes a two-wheeled vehicle including a frame having opposed sides, opposed front and rear ends, and a front wheel mounted for rotation to the frame proximate to the front end of the frame positioned in front of an opposed rear wheel mounted for rotation to the frame proximate to the rear end of the frame and that is substantially in-line with respect to the front wheel. A member is carried by the frame of the vehicle between the front and rear wheels and has end portions disposed adjacent to the respective sides of the frame. A wheeled stabilizer assembly is carried by each of the end portions of the member to wheelingly interact with the ground over which the vehicle is driven along the sides of the frame proximate to the front and rear wheels of the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20100044987
    Abstract: A vehicle assembly includes a two-wheeled vehicle having a front wheel positioned in front of an opposed rear wheel that is in-line with respect to the front wheel, and a stabilization apparatus including a front stabilizer assembly attached to the vehicle proximate to the front wheel, and a rear stabilizer assembly attached to the vehicle proximate to the rear wheel. The front stabilizer assembly includes a first pair of opposed wheels resiliently mounted to a first framework secured to the vehicle to resiliently interact with the ground on either side of the vehicle proximate to the front wheel over which the vehicle is ridden to stabilize the vehicle, and the rear stabilizer assembly includes a second pair of opposed wheels resiliently mounted to a second framework secured to the vehicle to resiliently interact with the ground on either side of the vehicle proximate to the rear wheel over which the vehicle is ridden to stabilize the vehicle.
