Abstract:
A suspension system for supporting a front wheel of a vehicle, comprising:a support arm assembly comprising at least one support arm having a first end and a second end, the first end of the at least one support arm supporting the front wheel, and the support arm assembly pivotably coupled to a frame of the vehicle at a pivot proximate to the second end of the at least one support arm so that the at least one support arm assembly can rotate about an axis that is generally orthogonal to a longitudinal axis of the frame and generally orthogonal to a longitudinal axis of the at least one support arm assembly; and at least one movement limiting device having a first end and a second end, the first end of the at least one movement limiting device is coupled to the frame and the second end of the at least one movement limiting device is coupled to the support arm assembly between the pivot and the second end of the support arm assembly generally opposite to the first end coupled to the front wheel to limit movement of the at least one support arm about the pivot.
