A trike tilting axle assembly has a steering post turning an upper axle assembly. A lower axle assembly is coupled beneath the upper axle assembly by cross linkages which create a virtual pivot point for the upper axle assembly and the steering post. Tilting linkage assemblies are pivotally coupled at lower ends thereof from opposite sides of the lower axle assembly and engage respective wheel axles at upper end thereof, each of which holds a respective wheel. Control arms connect the upper axle assembly to respective upper ends of the tilting linkage assemblies. As the assembly tilts and the upper axle assembly moves sideways with respect to the lower axle assembly, the control arms push or pull the respective tilting linkage assemblies such that the wheels lean over in the same direction as the steering post whilst the assembly mimics the geometry and feel of an existing bicycle.
