Scooter - Double Side Leading Link
This suspension consists of double leading arms, pivoted symmetrically at the bottom end of the steering column. The wheel spindle is connected to the front end of the leading arm. The inline spring damper systems are also mounted at the front end of the leading arm on either side.
Model Use
- The wheel body represents the mass and inertia of the tire and the rim.
- The wheel hub body represents the mass and inertia of other rotating bodies such as a brake rotor. The wheel hub and brake rotor have no associated graphics.
- The wheel and wheel hub parts use the Wheel center location as the center of gravity.
The image below shows the Project browser view of the systems on a fully populated front suspension model. The Double Side Leading Link Suspension system had six “child” systems.
