Positioned as a tiny home on wheels-turned UTV, the Adventure 1 has plenty of potential to reach multiple market niches. The parent company is literally named “Potential Motors.” They see big things for Adventure 1, an all-electric ORV, fits seamlessly on UTV trails and offers overland-level comforts. “This is not a mall-crawler branded as an off-roader,” notes Noah Tompkins, VP of Marketing. “This is your specialty tool built purely for your off-road mission.”
Just 64” wide, the Adventure 1 can access the vast network of ATV trails and remote destinations inaccessible to trucks or SUVs. However, it punches well above its weight with 737 ft.-lbs. of torque on tap 604 hp and 100-mile off-road range. Putting the power to the ground was the key focus for VP of Engineering Bill Larney when he developed the Potential’s proactive suspension system.
“Beyond active suspension, Off-Road OS adjusts damping and stiffness proactively for maximum performance and comfort through any conditions,” he explains. Fully independent suspension coupled with dual motor all-wheel drive are intended to keep the Adventure 1 off the beaten track. But is goes one step further, according to Lamey. “In the case of a hardware failure, Off-Road OS will identify the failure, notify the driver and compensate to keep the vehicle moving when you need it most.”

Also worth noting is the propane back-up generator. An integrated emergency back-up charger makes use of the cooking and heating propane to charge the vehicle in a pinch.
