The VentureOne (from Venture Vehicles) is a 3-wheel, tilting, plug-in 2-passenger flex-fuel Hybrid vehicle that will go over 100 miles per gallon with a top speed of over 100 mph in a range of 200 miles.


At the same height and Length of a Mini Cooper (but classified as a motorcycle), the VentureOne is a fully enclosed vehicle that is surrounded by a steel “safety cell” and other safety features typically found only in cars—things like side impact beams, driver airbag, rear bumper and engine shield.

The passenger compartment and the front wheel tilt when cornering; however, the forces are aligned with the vertical axis of the driver’s body, resulting in the driver being pressed into the seat rather than pushed across it.


With gas prices near highs, this product can’t come soon enough. Mass production is to start in 2008 and models should start in the 20k range.
