With that VIN, I suspect that you have the "latest" version Kilovac controller. Don't you think so Davide? The modified Curtis was used on just a few with...
I just put about 10 miles on the bird with the NiCd pack. Here are the results. (Note that the Sparrow has been sitting unmoving for most of a year...) I had...
The Vin# is 276. It's the two tone aqua that Corbin used as it's show car. You may have seen in on the Tonight Show when Jay Leno had it. It needs figerglass...
Hello, I first found the Sparrow online about 5 years ago. The time seems right for me to seriously think about getting one. Are there any owners in NYC? I'd...

Yeah, I get 170 WH/mile on my commute over the hills to work. And I accelerate pretty aggressively with a z1k. So 230 really seems high. -Jamie ... From:...
I used to own a Sparrow and lived in the Bronx. I would go into Manhattan all of the time and finding a parking spot was a snap. If you go to Rochefeller...

I know this group is primarily Sparrow talk, but I thought some would be interested in the latest news on the Merlin. As some of you know, after Corbins...

I'm willing to sell my old "Corbin Summer Tour 2001" T-shirt! Full color drawings of Sparrow I & II, Merlin Roadster & Coupe, a random motorcycle (I'll bet a...
I found a site last night that has brand new Sparrow t-shirts. It has a Sparrow logo of the Sparrow on the front and says 'Sparrownaut' and on the back it has...
This test was pretty much the same as the last. Back and forth for about 1 mile on my road, cruising at 50mph most of the time. Slightly rolling hills. I had...
John, Because Corbin did not use twisted pair wires for pack voltage to the Emeter, the Emeter tends to read a lot of noise. This is evident by the erratic...
... Well, the voltage doesn't seem to jump around much. The readings generally make sense for how hard I'm pressing the accelerator. The AH used in my test...
... I just dug out my old records from when I was using the Sparrow with Optima YT's. It was using around 200WH / Mile, so it is definitely sucking too much...
Hi all, If anyone is interested I do have a Lotus123 file with a little over a year of commuting data. Shows A-hr / mile for every trip I have driven since I...
I'm definitely interested. You can email to me directly, or just use the web link at the bottom of the page to go to the Sparrow group and pick a place in the...
Okay, this time I took a chance (expired tabs) and drove around my "block". It's about 6.5 miles around. Speed limit is 40-50MPH, and only 2 full stops...
John, You can't charge on the ferry, but how about carrying one of those little Honda generators and charging while waiting in the ferry line? That might be ...
Ah, but it's a motorcycle and doesn't have to wait in line at the ferry. This is considered a key feature by John. And who can blame him. -Jamie ... From:...
... A) This is a JellyBean. (No room) B) Those are often 350W or 500W units, which just isn't a useful amount of charging power for a short time. C) I don't...

I'm the new owner of #55 yellow Sparrow jellybean, the controller is bad and I'm thinking of puting a Zilla in it, unless someone has a better idea. I am going...
