A folding, leaning, 3-wheeled cycle comprises a central frame portion, a seat mounted on the central frame portion, a rear frame portion connected to, and foldable relative to, the central frame portion, a rear wheel 16 connected to the rear frame portion, a front frame portion 18 connected to, and foldable relative to, the central frame portion, and comprising a pair of arms 22, a pair of front wheels 20, each front wheel 20 connected to an arm 22 of the front frame portion 18, and a rocker mechanism 26 connected to each arm 22 of the front frame portion 18, the rocker mechanism 26 having an unlocked configuration allowing the arms 22 to move relative to each other and a locked configuration preventing the arms 22 from moving relative to each other. The locking mechanism may comprise a pair of pins actuated by a cam. When the rocker mechanism is locked, the tricycle must remain fully upright, and when the rocker mechanism is unlocked, the tricycle may lean, facilitating cornering.
