Default Electric Sparrow

Here's my electric Sparrow (attached). 70 mph and a range of about 24 miles. New cost of $14K. Corbin Motors made about 300 of these before they went belly up. The Corbin Sparrow isn't made any more. The company that bought the leftover parts from bankruptcy court mad a bunch of improvements and is making about 50 more of these cars for $25K each. They are at www.myersmotors.com. So it is kind of a collector's item. Jay Leno had one for a shor time and it was shown on the Tonight Show.

It's a lot of fun to drive and has a lot of zip. It always collects a crowd. Kind of like driving a one-man parade. Kids seem especially attracted to it and always yell and wave.
