Precursor To Tron's Light Cycle
What initially started at the Carver concept aptly named for it's ability to tilt almost 45º in turns, has just received to green light for mass production as the VentureOne.
Designed by BWM Design, the VentureOne looks to be the first of the trike onslaught ready to pepper roads across America and perhaps the world. The vehicle seats two and is capable of 100 miles per hour while maintaining its 100 miles per gallon fuel efficiency going from 0 - 60 in a respectable 6 seconds. How is that possible? Well the VentureOne is an electric hybrid with an all electric version optional. Total range is between 300 - 350 miles which is equivalent to most compact cars like the Civic and Corolla.
Venture seems to be pushing the tagline "Fly the Road" and it makes perfect sense. If you watch the Carver concept videos, you can see how the driver centric cockpit coupled with the vehicle's manuervability makes for an almost jet fighter-like experience.
The VentureOne goes on sale this year at a base price of $18k. 20K gets you the top of the line model and all versions come with GPS navigation, HIVAC, airbags, cruise control and iPod integration as standard features. So are you getting one?

I didn't know the VentureOne will have GPS Nav.... Tha'd be cool... but you sure about that?
AM really looking forward to seeing the final design... which may be being shown in less than a month, or so.

Not bad price tag either. Might be able to afford it as an extra commuter cars for the family and still have money for a car that actually fits the whole family
