A simple mechanism of steering function was proposed in order to simplify steering structures and to reduce the weight of the structures. The simple steering mechanism consists of two elastic front arms instead of the usual complex system that includes many rigid parts. A tricycle with the elastic front arms, which was composed by two front wheels and one rear wheel, was investigated to explore the possibility of the elastic steering mechanism. To examine the dynamic behavior of the tricycle, a small radio-controlled model and an actual tricycle that should be able to be controlled by a rider on the real tricycle were constructed. The traveling examinations into both the models showed that the elastic steering mechanism could have some practical characteristics.
