1. A tilt control system for a sidecar and a motorcycle, the tilt control system comprising:
a main frame;
a tilting frame;
an actuator arranged to tilt the tilting frame relative to the main frame, the actuator being configured to retract and extend to control tilting of the tilting frame relative to the main frame;
at least one of a first pressure sensor or a second pressure sensor; and
a controller in communication with the actuator and at least one of the first pressure sensor or the second pressure sensor, the controller being configured to:
determine a first pressure or a second pressure based on sensor data received from at least one of the first pressure sensor or the second pressure sensor;
compare the first pressure or the second pressure to a threshold criteria; and
cause the actuator to control an orientation of the tilting frame relative to the main frame, based on the comparison of the first pressure or the second pressure to the threshold criteria.
