I just got approved for my loan and am going to finalize the deal tomorrow. I am getting my Sparrow! I am so excited about it I couldn't sleep last night. I...
I don't want to be a sour puss Andrew, but if you make the 32 miles home you have one heck of a battery pack. I seriously hope you make it and that the dealer...
!!!!!!!! DO NOT ATTEMPT 32 MILES !!!!!!!!!! Find a mid-point to recharge! 110V outlets are easy to find. Stop for a 3 hours recharge before going home....
Also Andrew, Since you don't know the condition of the battery pack nor if it's fully charged when you pick it up, better plan on stopping about 1/2 way to...
The battery packs are completely new. I guess I could rent a u-haul and drive it home. I guess I wasn't clear on the Sparrows range. Wish me luck. ... 1/2 ...
I hope you get the straight scoop on the sparrow Andrew. A Sparrow is not something that is maintenence free. It's also something not worth going into debt...
Please elaborate. That was a rather ominous message... I just plan on using it to get to and from work from home 10 miles each way. I will have a free...
It will easily make your 10 mile commute. You will save money on gas and parking. You will spend quite a bit of money on tinkering. If you currently do your...

Andrew, How are you for insurence? Lots of people have been having a heck of a time getting coverage. If you managed to get insurence please pass on the...
< Is the Sparrow that much trouble? > It depends if you manage to get a good one or not. Some have been unlucky. Others such as myself have been very lucky....
... Sounds like your commute will be just fine for a Sparrow. It's the trip from the Dealership that is marginal. If you will be traveling at high speed (like...

Hi Ed, ... This is a great point to keep in mind. I know my multi-meter has a high input impedance so it would be safe to hook several of those in series, one...
I ended up putting mine in the cargo area as well (in the basin meant for the electric cord). I thought about putting it under the hood, but there was just...

I just looked at the parts specs section of this sight. Seems there are three name brands, although they may all be mfgd by the same company. What are the...
I need opinions on a new situation. I have 3,500 miles on VIN 92. It has the newer Kilovac systems, and the current battery pack is now one year old, but...
My Gates belt broke after only 100 miles/1 month, but I don't think this is typical of Gates belts. Tom Bithell, Number 5 akanotquite <akanotquite@...>...
I tried to get a belt from a harley shop and they had nothing that was comparible to the Gates belts used on Sparrows; too many teeth, too long. Tom Bithell,...
