Abstract

The self-balancing vehicle has at least three wheels resting on the ground. At least two of the wheels are arranged on either side of the centre of gravity with respect to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. At least one of the wheels is directionally controllable and one section of the vehicle is tiltable about the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. A sensor is provided for measuring the magnitude and/or the direction of the load for the purpose of producing and/or maintaining a change in direction of the directionally controllable wheel during travel. A power assisted tilt element is provided for tilting the vehicle section about the longitudinal axis of the axis of the vehicle, which tilt element is connected to the sensor, in order to produce a tilt as a function of the registration by the sensor.
