Last week I woke up and when I opened my door to leave for work I was shocked to see that someone had pushed over my car. It was a very sad sight. Hydro...
I have a 2000 Orange Jelly Bean Sparrow I will be selling soon. The sparrow has 1500 original miles and the entire battery pack was repalced about 500 miles...
Can someone provide a working link to the following? "The information on the belt has moved to: http://www.evtech.org/phpwiki/index.php/SparrowBelt" Many...
The evteck Wiki was spammed to death, so its caretalker, Sheer, took it off-line. I regret that, as there was a lot of Sparrow info on line on that wiki. We...
I drove the Sparrow in a parade at the Fossil Fuelish Day rally at the Ford dealership on April Fools Day in Palo Alto. Sparrow got lots of attention. I posted...
Intetresting - my Volkswagen New Beetle was vandalized last year when I parked on the street next to my house. Someone thought it was a good platform to dance...
The controller on #349 appears to have given up the ghost. It was a Kilovac. Any suggestions on where I could get a replacement? Myers Motors says they are...
... If memory serves, Kilovac isn't making any more. Meyers was said to be experimenting with 'zilla controllers. CM used DCP and Curtis controllers as well. ...
I remember a year or so back there was discussion about annodizing the rear sprocket. One or more folks have done it, I recall, and I think the idea was to...
I was looking around a micro-car site and found a photo of a 1955 Fuji Cabin. I thought it looked a lot like a Sparrow - Look in Photos for a Folder Named 1955...
I guess that gas is not the only thing that has gotten a price shot. I bought a couple of YT last summer and they were 129. Now they are 159 per battery. I...
I called today to ask about a part that i need to return, it was not for my sparrow, and I owe them money for another. I called and they picked up the phone....
... well a couple of years back that was just what I was quoted for unit 1. I paid something like $110 by buying a pack. I think the YT retail price has been...
Checked with Johnson Controls they state that there are a price increase late last year. Also, here in NE the EV clan is more into the floods than the gels,...
Just for the record, Optima Yellow tops are AGM (absorbed glass mat) batteries, not gel cells. Both Gels and AGMs are Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) batteries. Just a...
I came across this while surfing the web for an alternative belt system for the Sparrow. However, I don't really have the time to do a follow up or to test...
I have a call into them, since i was going to take this time to treat my sproket (while I try to figure out the battery supply problem.) I will let you know...
Here are a few observations on the brake sensors used in the Sparrow. I just noticed that my brake lights were not turning on. Looking at earlier posts...
... Excellent observation! Thank you. Warning: tech talk follows. Indeed, it would not be surprising to find-out that the pressure sensors were meant to drive...
... capacitor across each sensor. (Say, 100 nf - that's 0.1 uF -, 50 V to 1 KV.) When the sensor's contact are open, the capacitor will be charged to 12 V....
Just called American Hobbyist - they don't do 3-wheeled vehicles, and don't do motorcycles. Oh, well. - Phil Salkie VIN #38, Lime Green, "Falcon of Fong"...
An easy way to check if the brake lights are working is to set the e- meter in the amps mode. When coasting I read .8 amps with brake lights on I read 1.1...
Hello, I got a call by from the SuperMax guys. They want to know what the number of teeth are for the two sprokets. They are willing to make up something to...
