Corbin Motors Electric Sparrow 3wheel Motorcycle/1st Edition Eco Rare White/Dots

Corbin managed to crank out 289 Sparrows before closing shop. This is one of the first made of 289 this "Limited Edition 1st Generation #34 Jelly-Bean Style" body. Its 20-kilowatt DC motor produced the equivalent of 25 hp. Most of its 1. 50-lb weight was due to crude lead-acid batteries -- this is primitive electric vehicle technology. the Windows ME of EVs. It takes 4-6 hours to charge at a 110-volt socket. Built by Mike Corbin of motorcycle seat fame. the Sparrow was meant to be the three-wheeled city runabout of the future -- driven by the sort of mid-90s optimism that envisioned us riding around in near-silent bubble cars. grinning with the reassurance that our transportation efficiency had been honed to a single-serving maximum. In 1996. attendees at the San Francisco Auto Show sure believed it. At that time. the only electric vehicle was the GM EV1; Toyota's newfangled Prius was a Japanese-only exotic upon which we could wistfully gaze from afar. This Eco friendly Single passenger Electric Sparrow is waiting to be yours and be your little part to be cost effective in your running about.
