Reply | Forward Message #13757 of 14092 |
Hi everyone,

I think this is likely the patent for the Can-Am three-wheeler. Can-Am is ownded
the by Canadian Bombardier company. Below that are stablilty control system
patents probably for the same vehicle.

Bombardier Three-Wheel Vehicle Stability Control System Patent US2009152940 June

{company} Bombarder / look down just a few patents ) 2008 WO2007130043

General Description and Illustration of Can-Am 3-Wheeler Braking
The entire braking system is linked to a single brake pedal located on the right
side of the Spyder, where the rear brake pedal traditionally resides on a
motorcycle. No front brake lever is to be had. This takes a bit of getting used
to, especially during panic stops, when a rider's natural instinct is to grab
for the lever, but the fact remains that the combined efforts of the Electronic
Brake Distribution (EBD) and ABS system hauls the Spyder Roadster down from any
speed in a hurry. The grouping of a linked system operated by a single pedal and
the associated electronic gizmos assisting it results in not much feel
transmitted back to the rider. It isn't a concern or complaint because it is
similar to the systems found on BMW streetbikes these days. Plenty capable, but
it takes a bit to get used to it.
