Patent ID: 7195487

Claim:
A rider controlled two-wheeled vehicular motion simulation arrangement comprising: a mobile platform; a simulated two-wheeled vehicle with a frame, a front wheel rotatably retained relative to the frame, a rear wheel rotatably retained relative to the frame and a steering arrangement for enabling a steering of the front wheel; a means for retaining the simulated two-wheeled vehicle relative to the platform with a roll axis; means for enabling a rider to impart control inputs to the simulated two-wheeled vehicle and to the mobile platform comprising an accelerator control and a steering arrangement with an axis of rotation; and a control system for imparting motion to the platform and the two-wheeled vehicle in response to control inputs from a rider wherein the control system comprises a propulsion arrangement for propelling the mobile platform in response to control input from the accelerator control, a steering arrangement for steering the mobile platform in response to control input from the steering arrangement, a rear wheel prooulsion arrangement for imparting angular velocity to the rear wheel of the simulated two-wheeled vehicle in response to control input from the accelerator control, and a tilting arrangement for tilting the two-wheeled vehicle through bank angles relative to the mobile platform.
