A human-propellable vehicle (1) is described which comprises a chassis (2), and a rear wheel assembly (5) mounted to a rear portion of the chassis. The rear wheel assembly comprises a double wishbone suspension assembly, each wishbone (14, 22) of the double wishbone suspension assembly being coupled to the chassis at first and second coupling points, the second coupling point for each wishbone being closer to the rear of the chassis, and closer to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, than the first coupling point for that wishbone. By using a double wishbone set up at the rear of the bike it is possible to control weight transfer more efficiently. By providing a second coupling point for each wishbone which is closer to the rear of the chassis, and closer to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, than the first coupling point for that wishbone, it is possible to utilise a setup without having to adopt a higher seating position and without having to increase the rear wheel track beyond an acceptable width.
