The VentureOne prototype on the Science Channel. |
An unusual and innovative concept for an automobile or cycle-car. Expensive as it cost 40K Euros for the Carver. In US the VentureOne is a production using the Carver patent and cost $20K approx. I just think this looks like a great ride. I wish I had the money for one. 100MPH and 100mpg hybrid. |
El VentureOne se trata de un vehículo híbrido. La potencia del VentureOne proviene de las baterías asi como del pequeño motor de combustión interna que posee. Se estima que podrá lograr un rendimiento de hasta 40 kilómetros por litros, con una velocidad máxima de 165 Km/h. Podrá acelerar de 0 a 100 Km/h en sólo 6 segundos o menos, y tendrá una autonomía de al menos 480 Kilómetros. Estas prestaciones bastante buenas se logran principalmente por el excelente diseño que tiene, que además lo hace muy divertido de conducir la web de ellos es: http://www.flytheroad.com |

VentureOne Carver |
Introducing the VentureOne, a revolutionary 3-wheel, tilting, plug-in Hybrid vehicle. This unique 2-passenger flex-fuel Hybrid vehicle will achieve 100 miles per gallon, accelerate from 0-60 in 6 seconds with a top speed of over 100 mph, yet at a retail price of under $20,000. And if that weren’t enough, imagine combining the performance feel of a sports car with the agility of a motorcycle. This is an exhilarating driving experience that can only be compared to flying a jet fighter two feet off the ground. While the same height and length as the MINI Cooper, the driver in the VentureOne sits as high off the road as a BMW 3-series. When combined with its 360 glass canopy effect, the VentureOne not only provides a driver with tremendous road visibility, but adds to a sense of overall driving confidence. The VentureOne weighs approximately 1,200 pounds in prototype form, with an overall width of 48 inches, a length of 11? 8?, and a 106 inch wheelbase. The engine is located in the rear of the vehicle at a low height. 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. Although classified as a motorcycle according to the NHTSA (since it has three wheels), the VentureOne has an enclosed body. The reinforced roll-cage construction in combination with front-and-side-impact protection, and a highly efficient passenger restraint system, give the occupants a level of protection comparable to conventional cars or statistically, 33 times the safety of a typical motorcycle.
