Claim 12:
13. A vehicle comprising:
first and second wheels coupled to a chassis by a linkage assembly which allows the wheels and the chassis to tilt with respect to a median plane defined by the chassis;
a sensor configured to detect lateral deflection of a net force vector on the chassis;
a tilting actuator configured to selectively tilt the chassis; and
a steering actuator configured to selectively steer the wheels;
wherein the tilting actuator is configured to tilt the chassis to reduce misalignment between the net force vector and the median plane of the chassis, in response to the sensor detecting lateral deflection of the net force vector; and
wherein the tilting actuator is operatively connected to a gear which is coaxially mounted with a pivoting joint of the chassis, and wherein rotation of the gear causes the chassis to tilt in a controlled manner.
