Description:

Up for Auction is one 2000 Corbin Sparrow Hatchback Pizza Butt with New Mexico Title. VIN#1C9T8120XYH737174
No Reserve!!!
The Electric Motor and Electronics have been fully tested and work. The car needs new batteries to run.
Introduced: 2000
Designer: Michael Corbin
The electric, three-wheeled Sparrow was designed for a single occupant, so naturally it's tiny. The curvaceous body, bent windshield, and concave hood, though, make the car look like a rolling big toe.
Corbin Sparrow, a battery-powered single-passenger electric vehicle, is difficult to categorize. It has an enclosed top, yet is licensed as a motorcycle. Some people might mistake it for a toy. Its dimensions -- 4.5 feet wide and 7.5 feet long -- make it a peer to the parking enforcement vehicles that cruise city streets.
Batteries must need be replaced as the car has been sitting. Always stored indoors. I am selling this vehicle AS IS with no warranties. The Electronic Motor and Electronics have been fully tested and work. The car needs new batteries.
Please feel free to message with any questions.
Yet the Sparrow can reach 75 miles an hour, according to its manufacturer, Corbin Motors of Hollister, Calif. A battery charge will last 40 miles in city driving and close to 60 on freeways, according to the company, whose parent, Corbin Inc., makes motorcycle seats, saddle bags and other accessories.

The Corbin Sparrow:
There were two base models of Sparrows made. There were 98 of the first model made. They were refered to by the owners as the 'jellybean' since that is what they looked like from the side. The 'Jellybean' was re-designed and replaced by a hatchback model. This greatly increased the trunk area. Dominos Pizza wanted to use some of these to deliver pizzas. Because of this, owners referred to this version as the 'pizza butt'.
