Thank you welcoming me into your group. Here is my first question: What is the easiest way to remove the rear wheel? The valve stem is cracked. I need to...
Welcome to the group - like your company's battery chargers, BTW The Sparrow's wheels have a plastic cover over the hubs - you simply pry the cover off, and...
Welcome, Funny, that's the first thing I had to do to Kermit after I got it home. I was washing it and the valve stem broke off. I had all three replaced. I...
Thanks for the welcome. The Sparrow I was asking about belongs to the company I work for, Deltran Corporation in Deland Florida. We design and manufacture...
A Sparrow in DeLand? So close, yet so far. Here in Daytona Beach, the Sparrows tend to show up only during the bike week events and even then they are quite...
Hi, first time this happened to my sparrow. Have over 23000 miles... While driving, suddenly it started to buzz and blink the brake and seatbelt lights. All...
Hi, Sean here from GPEV. What issues did you run into with the PakTrakr? I run the PakTrakr in mine and would feel lost if I did not have the real-time...
@ $50/batt you are looking at $650 for the pack, and the regulators do not do half of what a true balancing system will. Regulators will protect individual...
Hi Sean, The problem I had with the PakTrakr is the electrical noise generated by the controller. This caused the unit to report many false readings/failures...
Okay, time for a new battery pack. Rich Edmonston has put together a tempting LiFePO4 package for me, and I need to compare it to the possibility of replacing...
I got some at Sam's club for less than $160 a few months ago. Russ ... From: nicykathryn To: sparrow_ev@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2009 4:57...
I bought Optima bluetops from Amazon and shipping was about 5 bucks each. _____ From: sparrow_ev@yahoogroups.com [mailto:sparrow_ev@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf...
Try and get your Optima's from the same batch or production lot. The battery characteristics change from batch to batch. All from the same batch will result in...
That is good information to know Paul, thanks. That controller must put out a heck of an RF signal. I wonder if shielding the controller itself would work....
... I'd strongly suggest doing a couple cycles of capacity testing. The last time I replaced a pack (last year), about 1/2 the Optimas tested WAY under what...
I have no affiliation with this Sparrow, but saw it was for sale so I thought I'd pass it along... 2001 Yellow Pizza-butt #254. Has 236 original miles. Has...

For those using PakTrakrs wishing for a larger more user-friendy display, Norm Woodward has added a unit that will handle the 156v pack of the Sparrow/NMG. ...
Thanks for the update, Sean. I explored the GPEV website and online storefront & didn't see the new display, or any mention of it. Do you have a link for us,...
They are in the Sparrow/NMG section now. It takes a day or so for the web site to catch up to changes, but it looks up-to-date now. Throwing the link up in...
During the battery pack installation, we added leads to each battery so we could charge each battery individually. Initially we used the Zivan charger for bulk...
Thanks for the writeup and photos. I'm the happy user of a number of Deltran chargers in other applications. Do you still use the Zivan (bench mounted) for...
