Hollister, CA - Everyone knows the story of the Phoenix, the colorful great bird that rises from the ashes, reborn to fly another day. A similar story of a great bird is the remarkable little single-passenger vehicle that captured the hearts and minds of a unique group of progressive thinkers in the late 1990s and early 2000s: the Sparrow built by Corbin Motors.

After crashing in 2003, the ashes of this little bird lay dormant but fortunately a hot ember remained. That ember kept the dream alive. Quietly the R&D continued even through the toughest of financial times and finally, in 2010, Sparrow was reborn and the return flight was underway.

The new Sparrow will be a technologically advanced version of the original model. It will feature its original configuration, three-wheeled, single-passenger ZEV but will utilize a lithium ion power source with an electronic battery management system to produce prolonged battery life and greater range. It will incorporate the futuristic body styling it became known for in a new stylistic model that promises to turn heads and bring smiles. All this and more will be part of Sparrow's return.

The world debut of the new Sparrow took place on the Fourth of July Weekend 2016 during Corbin's annual Hollister Rally and Open House at their world headquarters. The all-new Sparrow was well received. The good news for the Sparrow continues as Corbin has been awarded a United States Patent.

The year 2017 will be the start of 100 Beta Sparrows. Corbin will create 100 hand-built Sparrows right in their Hollister manufacturing facility. The 100 Beta Sparrows will display an exclusive number which will also be the individual vehicle identification numbers 1/100 through 100/100.
