A vehicle is described that comprises a frame, a fork arranged to rotate relative to the frame, a wheel attached to the fork, and a self-centring mechanism arranged to bias a rotational position of the fork relative to the frame to a centre position. The self-centring mechanism comprising a torsion spring with two legs 72,73, and rotation of the fork from the centre position in a clockwise direction and in an anticlockwise direction causes the torsion spring to either close in either direction or open in either direction. This may be achieved by means of a fork-mounted stopper 84 and a head-mounted stopper 95 concentrically mounted with the spring.
