OK, New to the group, I've always kind of like the looks of the Sparrow and the idea of a 1-person commuter car...BUT, I just can't do the electric thing. I'm...
Hey Kenny, Why don't you just go get a HUMMER and forget this future thinking EV stuff. More to the point. There are many options to make small ICE vehicles...
Would like to get more familiar with the Sparrow via detailed visual inspection. Is there anyone who could help me? I've relocated back to Ann Arbor, Michigan...
If you want to be a leading-edger, feel free (the future isn't now). I didn't pay $20K for a plasma TV, and I'm willing to wait to get a practical affordable...
Yes, its been done at least twice. One was posted to the group in the last few months. Search the archives and you should find the links. I think there are...
Warning – I am opinionated Range: I drive 42 miles one-way to work. My job requires me to be free-lance-like and some sometimes I drive a bit less, but I...
Hi Kenny, If you are looking for an economical and practical transportation vehicle, the Sparrow/NmG is not it. It really was never intended to be. There are ...
Just drive on down to Myers Motors. I'm sure that they'd show you one. They're outside of Akron, not so far from you. - Jake ... visual ... back ... have...
I certainly agree with most of your observations except the part about there being ANY available EV technology that can result in a cheap-to-build, economical...
Kenny, What I disagree with you about is the use of EV's. I or my wife have driven our Pontiac Fiero converted for Disney by Solar Electric Eng for over 5...
To Kenny and those like him, Please go away and leave this group. Your comments on what is or is not possible, is not the purpose of this group. Those of us...
... favorites ... free ... Well, this is embarrassing... I was just informed that I misspelled the name of Heidi's new NmG. It is Tweety, not Tweedie. So,...
Messsage received I will saunder off. The amazing thing is how much support and encouragement I received from the group off-line. To those of you who wrote...
My, I can't believe it's that time again. It seems just last week that I posted about this! Well, here it goes again... There are excellent EV groups out there...

The time has come for me to sell my Sparrow. * Orange hatch-back * 3000 miles * Sparrow #173, built October 2000 * New Myers rear swingarm (includes original...
Oops, the Sparrow group police! You know, every one of these posts spoke of Sparrows or NMGs. It is on a topic that would interest Sparrow and NMG owners. I...

I would encourage you to please ignore the vocal minority. I would like to think that a majority of people on this list are reasonable people, who simply had...
We had a really cold and icy (for Seattle) period right after Thanksgiving, which meant that I didn't drive my Sparrow for a week and a half, resulting in...
Thanks jake for bringing this up. I am almost ready to get my sparrow on the road and need to buy a new pack. I've been looking at those yellow tops at Costco...
I would be surprised if the single post yellow tops were unavailable. In my experience you have to be specific when you order them. Marshall Bonnie ... ...
... I just bought a new YT pack from Costco. They have the dual top posts. (normal post and a threaded post). They fit just fine in my bird. I'd bet that...
Yes, I have had trouble with the newer yellow tops, but I did eventually make them work. I had to take the caps off of some of the side terminals to do it,...
Dual terminal (with the side posts) Yellowtops have never fit right. The Sparrow was designed for the top post only model (which has always been a little hard...
Just an idea but I don't like the idea of exposed battery terminals. Could they still fit if you coated them in liquid rubber or heat shrink or something? At...
