1. A vehicle comprising a first vehicle part and a second vehicle part, wherein the first vehicle part comprises a first running wheel rotatable about a first rotation axis, and wherein the second vehicle part comprises a second running wheel rotatable about a second rotation axis;
wherein the first running wheel and the second running wheel have identical running wheel diameters;
wherein a first mounting for rotatably mounting the first running wheel and a second mounting for rotatably mounting the second running wheel are connected to one another by way of an articulated mechanism in such a manner that a relative mutual alignment of the first rotation axis and the second rotation axis is variable,
wherein the vehicle with the aid of the articulated mechanism is able to be converted from a first driving configuration in which the first and the second rotation axes are mutually inclined to a second driving configuration in which the first and the second rotation axes are parallel,
wherein in the second driving configuration a spacing of a first contact face of the first running wheel from a second contact face of the second running wheel is smaller than one tenth of the running wheel diameter,
wherein the conversion from the first to the second driving configuration and from the second to the first driving configuration is possible while the vehicle is in motion, and
wherein the conversion between the first driving configuration and the second driving configuration takes place automatically as a function of a driving speed of the vehicle.
