Abstract:
1. A motorized system for adjusting the position of handlebars on a vehicle supported by a wheel through a fork, having a first longitudinal axis, coupled to the wheel at an axle thereof, said system comprising: a first support secured to the fork; a second support including a first actuator operationally coupled to said first support and said handlebars for rotating said second support over an angular extent about a second axis, off-axis relative to said axle, thereby changing a tilt angle of said handlebars relative to the longitudinal axis of the fork; a third support, including a second actuator, coupled to said second support and said handlebars for effecting translational movement of said third support relative to said first support along a third axis, said third axis being a longitudinal axis of the third support and transverse to the second axis, whereby the length of said handlebars, relative to said second axis, is adjusted; and a controller for actuating said first and second actuators.
