    It uses the same battery technology as the new Boeing 787! How's that working out for them?

    You might be referring to the special, "July 4th Signature Edition" model??

    Someone mentioned Elio. The Elio we were perusing a few days back was eerily the same color range and the website even looked like Corbin rip-off. The Sparrow, IMO, is a much more refined looking vechicle than the Elio.

    I would not have a problem with a Corbin based vehicle like this. Did anyone find a cost? I am guessing it is not $6,800 like the Elio.

    Would Rattigan-Roger like to share what the bid price was?

    Sparrows were around 14K, if my memory serves me, I wanted a Corbin Merlin, FWD 1200 V-twin.

    Default Four years later, a new Sparrow is coming out

    This thread is really old, but the sparrowcar.com site says they have a new release going into closed beta testing as of June of this year.

    I confess, I am strangely drawn to the new styling...

    This will come to market the same time the Elio does.......

    Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
    Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
    Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
    Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!
