Hi guys, Tom C. just emailed me and said that for those of us in FL who need reconditioned Batteries, Mark was sending several sets to Daytona so we could swap...
David, Let's think about this. The purpose of the equalization phase is to overcharge some of the batteries in an attempt to bring the possibly undercharged...
Interesting experience David. My thoughts: - It's surprising that you got the batteries up to 85-90 degrees with just about 2 Amps flowing through them, when...
David, That's great news. Did he mention when they would have them in Daytona? This will make it allot easier then having to schedule shipping. Is this just a...
Good analysis Ed... it is possible that the trickle charger can somewhat replace equalization for David. I'm not so sure that the trickle charger was related...
Tom, I've been in a quandry for some time about this equalization business. Many folks, smarter than I when it comes to this vehicle - and probably a great...
To both David and Joe- I had suggested that option of doing the swap in Daytona to Mark Phelps but never received confirmation. I guess they liked the idea....

It would be great to finally meet up with anyone who drives a Sparrow besides myself. This might be a good chance to have a South East Sparrow get together of...
Hey Craig, you have a bad rear axle bearing or bearings. As there is no lube in the housing, you probably picked up moisture while driving in the rain or on...
Jeff: Thanks for the help. As a matter of fact, Clare spoke to Bob Azevedo and due to the difficulty in doing a bearing job, they will be sending me a swing...
... Just got back from it. Not sure if it's kosher to summarize it for a public forum -- anyone know the legalities here? However, I can say that I am now...
It is my understanding that the stock is NON transferable. You may have to wait until Corbin goes public. (Hopefully not as long as I've been waiting for my...
... I asked Tom Corbin in person -- he said that it was saleable to any investor approved by Corbin (generally, any investor with the right financial...
Perhaps someone could recount some info about the recent "emergency" meeting. I am considering sending my Sparrow to Hollister for batteries, repairs, etc....
... that is for publically traded companies; I'm not sure that applies in the corbinmotors context. One should check with legal counsel. ... -- Keith H....
Hello everybody, My name is Kate Woods, I'm a writer for the Pinnacle newspaper in Hollister, CA. I am researching for a story about the current status of...
If there's one thing I've learned in my news media experience since owning the Sparrow is that I have NEVER been accurately quoted. I'll pass. ... From:...
Greetings, I am not a Sparrow owner (yet) or a stockholder. But, I did spend several days at the Washington, DC auto show exhibiting a Sparrow. (Lime Green,...
Portland General Electric owns VIN#219 Yellow. Shipped to Corbin for repairs over Thanksgiving weekend. Repairs completed and returned to Oregon on December 7....
Indeed, I've always been an advocate of Corbin trying to push into the John Q. Public market rather than waving the Sparrow in 2 second spots in sci-fi flicks....
Please be aware that letting your batteries fully discharge, particularly letting the batteries sit then driving again then letting them sit will greatly...
And if you explore earlier postings, you'll see the advice of not letting the pack voltage drop below something like 154 volts to help prevent battery life...
Today, while driving to Costco to load up the bird with jumbo packages of everything, I turned over 5,000 miles in Sparrow VIN #98. I know some of you are...
Congratulations on reaching 5000 Dave, and thanks for sharing. I think your thoughts of adjusting *to* the Sparrow are right on the money. As far as Detroit...
Anyone feel like letting this guy know about EV availability and whether consumers like them? (Thanks to EV1 club / Margaret Cheng for passing this on! Bcc:...
