Corbin Sparrow Electric Single-Seater. 2000.
'Jelly bean', as the Corbin Sparrow is sometimes called, after a colorful, bean-shaped candy that is mainly known in Anglo-Saxon countries.
Officially it is called PTM, Personal Transportation Module. It is a fully electric three-wheeled car, actually more of a covered motorcycle. In America, this car can be driven with a motorcycle license and can drive in the carpool lane during rush hours.
The door of this single-seater is on the right side. The Sparrow has a low center of gravity, so it is quite stable. The lightweight body is made of very sturdy composite material. The car is specially made for commuting: the range is approximately 55 kilometers. The Sparrow is capable of reaching a speed of 120 km/h.
