Who would buy this "cute"car in SG-Corbin Sparrow

[Fattychubby]

no offence to the current owner.. but it doesnt make logical money sense to buy this car in SG ..

Look at the COE..$30K.. OMV is surprising high at $21K thou..

my 2 cents.

[I-LOVE-CARS]

[Nemo6089]

To me it is not even cute

 

What an ugly car/bike

 

 

 

[Aeromania]

this is road legal?

[Greyminswift]

I've seen one of this before, and judging by the colour scheme and the carpark background, it should be at one of the condos in Cashew/Upper Bukit Timah.

 

Reminds me of Jeremy Clarkson's experience with a really small car -

It is definitely unique and an eye-catching ride, powered by electricity as well.

Personally, not very practical unless always going about alone. Pricing is steep if compare to normal rides but this is one of very few kinds , so the collector's view wld b different.

It is not a car that will appeal to some....but those who wants to stand out, and alone, grab! [:p]

 

Safe ride

The owner staying near Sin Ming Ave Condo and was an Foreign Expatriate.

To buy this Sparrow, you need to consider:-

 

- seeking LTA / PowerGas / SCDF approval charging station of which was input: 240VAC / 440VAC step down to 150VDC to 160 VDC with 30A that able to charge total 11 x "Oldham" Yellow-Top batteries of 11 pcs x 12 VDC each.

 

- Costs for replacement of battery in the next 3 years of so (Costs around S$ 8K to S$ 10K)

can carry into your office... I think it used to be full orangey...

[Steamroller]

There are 2 of these vehicles inside a warehouse compound at Ubi

[Albeniz]

A Daihatsu Hijet mini-van is more practical than this vehicle.

Or better get a Tata or Chery QQ.

At least spare parts easier to find.

[Trafficwatch]

[Trafficwatch]

LTA consider it as car not as bike !

[Trafficwatch]

Oh, that's the WS & R and D purposes.
