Patent ID: 7896725

Claim:
A toy vehicle comprising: spaced apart front and rear wheels, the wheels being relatively aligned in a longitudinal axis defined by a straight movement, the front and rear wheels being directed and rotatable along the longitudinal axis, the toy vehicle being steerable in a desired direction under the effect of a tilt relative to a vertical axis passing through the vehicle, wherein the vehicle is representative of a motor cycle, and an offset of a center of gravity (CG) of the vehicle essentially affects turning of the vehicle, and wherein there is a no handle-bar turning control, and including a driver figurine with a body and a representative driving technique, the body being seated on a seat of the motorcycle, and being such that the body above the location of the seat is movable laterally towards one side to affect leaning by moving the body above the seat relatively laterally away from the longitudinal axis, wherein a lateral shifting of the body with an actuator affects a change in the movement laterally and a change in the CG to one side of the longitudinal axis, such that the motorcycle can perform a matching turning, and wherein the actuator for shifting the body includes at least one of an electric motor, electromagnetic device or ionic polymer actuator; a chassis between the wheels; a relatively fixed and non-turnable handle-bar relative to the chassis; the vehicle being capable of being inclined from a relatively vertical position to tilt to the left or right according to a required corresponding turning action to the left or right of the vehicle; a power transmission system having a double-sided crown gear, and a metal or plastic belt and an embedded gear on the rear wheel, and a dual motor system for generating power, the power being transmitted to a transverse axis by the double-sided crown gear and pinions on the motors, and wherein the power is transmitted to the rear wheel through the belt connected between the embedded gear on the rear wheel and the crown double-sided gear; a receiver for control signals to regulate the motor, the signals being from a remote RF transmitter; and each of the wheels being formed of a relatively heavy material thereby to have a relatively low center of gravity for the vehicle.
