Abstract

The invention relates to a vehicle having at least two wheels and having a suspended frame, with a carrier assembly designed, in particular, to perform a luggage rack or child seat carrier function. The vehicle includes a front chassis, a rockable rear assembly carrying a driving rear wheel, secured to the chassis via a shock-absorber system and hinged to said chassis about a first pivot point, and a carrier assembly comprising a carrier element having a front end and a rear end, and a support element having a top end and a bottom end. The front end of said carrier element is connected to the chassis, and its rear end is hinged to said top end of said support element about a second pivot point. The bottom end of the support element is hinged to the rockable rear assembly about a third pivot point. During compression of the shock-absorber system, the support element goes from a position in which the third pivot point is situated on a first side of the axis passing through the other two pivot points, to a position in which said third pivot point is situated on a second side of the axis, so that all three pivot points are substantially aligned at at least one stage of compression of the shock-absorber system.
