Systems and methods for nullifying lateral and longitudinal acceleration forces experienced by an occupant (10) of a vehicle in a seated or standing position while the vehicle is traveling along a travel surface, the system and methods including: a chassis structure (50); and an occupant cell structure (60) defined by the chassis structure (50); wherein the chassis structure (50) includes an upper link (56) pivotably coupled to each of a first wheel assembly (54) and a second wheel assembly (54) and the occupant cell tructure (60) and a lower link (58) pivotably coupled to each of the first wheel assembly (54) and the second wheel assembly (54) and the occupant cell structure (60); and wherein the upper link (56) and the lower link (58) define a parallelogram (52) and are configured to translate with respect to one another maintaining parallel sides of the parallelogram (52), leaning the first wheel assembly (54), the second wheel assembly (54), and the occupant cell structure (60) in unison with respect to the travel surface.
