1. A vehicle, configured to drive on rails, terrain or road, comprising:
a chassis; and
a stabilizer, comprising:
a support frame that comprises a wheel support that is configured to support at least one shaft and two wheels arranged on opposite sides relative to a longitudinal axis of said vehicle and defining a track width between said two wheels; and
a base supporting said support frame, wherein the chassis is connected to at least one further set of wheels, and wherein the stabilizer further comprises a suspension connecting said base relative to said chassis, wherein one end of the suspension is connected to the base with a first hinged connection and another opposite end of the suspension is connected to the chassis with a second hinged connection, whereby the suspension is configured to allow a free vertical displacement of one of the base and the chassis relative to the other over a restricted range to thereby prevent that a movement of the chassis is directly transferred to a movement of the support frame and allow a weight of the support frame supporting the at least one shaft and the two wheels to contribute to a force pressing said two wheels downward,
wherein the suspension comprises a guide that comprises a parallelogram construction or a slotted recess, and wherein the suspension comprises an upper stop and a lower stop.
