Description

No excuses now....BUY THIS CONVEYANCE! Captured 6/5/16 @ 11:12 am, at the beautiful Huntington Beach Concours d'Elegance, held on the vast grounds of the beautiful Huntington Beach Central Park in beautiful Huntington Beach, California. The Myers Motors NmG (formerly the Corbin Sparrow) is a single-passenger, three-wheeled, battery electric vehicle designed specifically for commuting and city driving. It was initially produced by Corbin Motors and now by Myers Motors. It is a Personal Electric Vehicle (PEV). The Sparrow is powered by a 20 kW (continuous) 156-volt DC or 3-phase AC electric motor and has a range of 32 to 64 km (20 to 40 miles) and a top speed of 112 km/h (70 mph). Fuel efficiency is approximately 130 W·h/km (4.8 mi/(kW·h), which is equivalent to 162 mpg (US) or 194 mpg (UK) (1.45 L/100 km) using the DOE conversion. In June 2008, the website listed a price of $29,995 without taxes or shipping. In 2009, the NmG began to use lithium batteries which Myers Motors claims doubled its driving range to 60 miles (97 km) between charges. Source: Wikipedia free encyclopedia. A ZOOM would be to your advantage.

I like the idea of getting off of fuels, but they gotta work on price, and make the cars just a taddddd more safe! Your photos really capture the totally odd, almost compressed feel of these wild things. The top one gives a full side view (where you coordinate the roof perfectly with the tent behind it). The 2d one gives us an angled front view, and it looks like it was compressed and stretched, like it was turned into a cartoon car! What a strange looking vehicle! Nicely caught. The third---a back view---has the trunk door arching over the people and walkway. Well composed. And the final one shows the logo. Well, if they want these to be the "Rulers of the City Streets" (as it says in the photo), they better make the cars more economical, and a little safer. In any case, with Bill, fine color, composition, and crispness.
