Corbin Sparrow Ev Electric Vehicle Motorcycle Three Wheel One Passenger on 2040-motos

Other Other description

This is a unique, Purple three wheel Electric Motorcycle.  This is a great short range commuter vehicle.

If you search online for Corbin Sparrow online you can find a lot of information on these motorcycles.

Check out my you tube video Sparrow 233 for details.

The reason I am selling is that I recently purchased an EV car and no longer am using this one.

Features:

• Seats one person.
• It is an automatic, with 3 settings, Forward, Neutral, and Reverse. Top speed is 70 mph.
• Range is over 20 miles. ( I used it regularly for a 15 mile commute, charging at both ends. The terrain was light hills and flat roads. )
• Runs on 13 Optima 12V spiral wound deep cycle blue top sealed AGM batteries. Batteries are about 2 years old.
• Has 37416 miles at present.
• Power windows, does not have air conditioning. Does have Heat. Has one entry door on right side of vehicle.
• About 6 cubic feet of cargo space behind driver under rear hatchback.
• Due to small cabin size, I do not recommend for tall drivers. I am 5'9" and it is okay.
• Charges on a 20A 110V circuit outlet. About 6 miles of range returned per hour.
• Very economical about 2 cents/ mile at 10c/kwh.

Upgrades:

• Noco Genius battery chargers. One charger on each battery. Chargers are 4 or 3 chargers in each charger unit. This improves battery life and allows for using older or newer batteries. This charging system also allows user to connect to a 15A 110V outlet by changing the controller setting ( charging will take longer ). Picture shows front tow Noco's, there are two more behind the drivers seat mounted vertically.
• Battery monitoring system that can be connected to a PC to download temperature, voltage, and discharge/charge history information.
• PowerPulse desulphators on battery string sections. One 48V and three 36V desulphators installed.
• Replaced Radio/CD player with Lilliput Pentium computer. This PC is able to play CDs and music from a key. Comes with a LCD display and keyboard (not installed).
• Copper plates under all batteries with water cooling system. Not fully implemented. Needs bigger diameter copper pipes to work. The plates help keep batteries cooler.
• Extra long (higher gauge) charging cable to reduce heating and allow for better outlet access.

Repairs:

• Most Sparrows suffer from a failure of the rear axle bearing. The bearing has been replaced.
• Rear Belt Gear has been changed to a Myers Motors Anodized Belt Gear. This reduces high pitched whine at some speeds.
• Rear Belt Guard added on both sides of belt. This helps prevent rocks from damaging the belt.
• Motor Controller failed last year and was replaced.

Condition:

• Paint is good, with a few minor scrapes here and there. One panel in the rear has some paint bubbles.
• Link10 monitoring device has some damage to the control button on front... due to plastic drying out. Button works fine.
• The side of the seat has some scratches from the seat belt ( see picture ).
• The windshield has some internal wiggles near the edges.
• The front dash shows some dark areas on the vinyl from the sun.
• The vinyl of the door handle on the inside has some cracking ( see picture ).
• Recently found battery sensor for "E" battery not working, I will repair this before shipment. Suspect loose wire.

Included:

• Original radio/CD player.
• Original Zivan 110V charger (latest firmware version). Still can be connected externally, to allow for overcharging. Recommend this once a month or so.
• Spare drive belt.
• Battery monitoring program for reading battery voltages and temperatures via isolated serial bus. Runs under Windows XP.
