Zusammenfassung:	Disclosed are various embodiments of a tilting frame for a three-wheeled vehicle with a steerable load-carrying front end. When the vehicle is rolling forward and steered, the wheels and portions of the frame can tilt sideward in a controlled manner to provide turning stability. Further, the frame keeps the load in a substantially-level and fully supported while also causing the vehicle and load center of gravity to shift laterally to enhance vehicle stability. An embodiment of the invention relates to human pedaled and electric-assisted vehicles including cargo bikes and trishaws for carrying passengers.
