Corbin went Glug, a Chapter 7 was done and they are no more. I know there are a few bent riders here
who have Sparrows.

EV World Update Article said the Chapter 7 was filed April 03 and April 22 will be the meeting for
the 361 creditors to pick over the remains. The 15 employees were "locked out" a few weeks ago.
Kinda sad to see an EV pioneer like Corbin go down just before the intro of his newest model.

little plastic push cars for small kids, or so I thought).GM also gave up on electric cars this morning. No parts or any help. Maybe you can blame the high
cost in California marketing for the Sparrow or Merlin failures, but GM is another story!Thanks for the news.

Mike Corbin? Corbin Seats? Bankrupt? Sheesh. They have had some poor customer reviews for their
handling of the motorcycle seat biz on motorcycle lists but I had no idea that they were in the
tank. Sha-la-la. dj"Joshua Goldberg" <[email hidden]> wrote in message

Not sure bout the Seat end (pun) of the Biz, would think Corbin would have it as a seperate company,
maybe controlled by a relative to keep the Sparrow/Merlin division from impacting on the seats div.
Have no idea how to find out either at this point....cause the thing is under a press blackout till
the creditors meet with the liquidators. Also the father-son owners were forced into bankruptcy and
went glug kickin and screamin foul, so asking them at this point may be unwise.

Seat and luggage biz is a separate business that should be unaffected according to the story and the
letter posted on corbinmotors.comcorbinmotors.comOpen ↗"Joshua Goldberg" <[email hidden]> wrote in message

Corporate structures are separate but both were started by Mike Corbin hence the name.
