Mike Corbin's Bird is complete, tested, and ready to fly on the 4th of July. Note the dimpled bulge rear wheel skirt. I like it.

Look like something the "Ambiguously Gay Duo" would drive around in...

This looks more interesting: http://electrameccanica.com/
The Solo uses the original Sparrow's platform. Sadly, I heard someone say that same thing about the Elio, the SRK, and the Solo. It must be that they share the three wheel platform. Go three Wheels!

Note: The Solo and Sparrow 2 are both single seaters. The Elio and the SRK are the only options available for the aforementioned Duo.

I think the Sparrow is too curvy and bulbous... the design just looks old. I prefer the Solo look, but not over the Elio. The Sparrow reminds me of Mr. Creosote from Monty Python.


I havent seen that comment applied to the Elio, but someone did call it the virgin mobile or some such. The Solo is just way too expensive for what it is.

I like the Sparrow 2's 'Retro Styling' but I'm old too. Style is very personal.

$15K on the Solo EV is fairly reasonable............depending on what it turns out to be in terms of performance, features, and build quality.
