A steering assistance device for a vehicle, in particular a single-track vehicle, includes a support element for mounting the steering assistance device on a frame or steering device of the vehicle, and a deflection device. The deflection device can be articulated to the steering device or the frame, and the deflection device is rotatably connected to the support element about an axis of rotation. The support element has at least one control cam, and the deflection device is connected to a follower element cooperating with the at least one control cam. The follower element is pre-tensioned relative to the at least one control cam by a tensioning element.

An open vehicle includes a surroundings sensor and an evaluation unit. The evaluation unit is configured to cause, depending on a signal of the surroundings sensor, a sound output device to output a sound to warn the driver of the vehicle. The sound has at least one frequency component in a frequency range from 900 to 20000, in particular 1000 to 10000, hertz.

A single-track vehicle, in particular a motorcycle, includes a frame, a rocker rotatable relative to the frame, and a leaf spring connected to the frame and to the rocker to achieve a spring effect between the rocker and the frame. The leaf spring is connected to the frame via a first lever and a first rotary bearing such that a first rotational axis of the first rotary bearing is transversely offset relative to the leaf spring as a result of the first lever. Alternatively or in addition, the leaf spring is connected to the rocker via a second lever and a second rotary bearing such that a second rotational axis of the second rotary bearing is transversely offset relative to the leaf spring as a result of the second lever.

Technologies and techniques for reducing a collision risk between a first motor vehicle and a second motor vehicle. At least a first vehicle-to-environment message is transmitted by the first motor vehicle and received by the second motor vehicle. Using a second computing unit of the second motor vehicle, it is determined, depending on the vehicle-to-environment message, whether a risk situation exists in which the first motor vehicle is obscured by a preceding third motor vehicle. The second computing unit executes a criticality analysis to determine that the risk situation exists and, depending on the result of the criticality analysis, a risk-reducing measure is initiated.
