Not seen you round here for ages Emma ! Nice to hear from you
Love the new trike !
Are you after anything in particular on voltage and wattage side of things ?
And interested in anything that requires relacing ? Ie bare or in other rim sizes ?

There is a broken 20 inch bike on gumtree in brighton. Sounds like throttle or controller have gone but equally might just be dodgy wiring fault. I've emailed the seller already. Was considering as a fixer upper for resale but might suit you ?
He was after 100 and claims the 8ah battery is still good too (hmmm)

Ooooh , envious 
Have been looking at recumbent trikes of late, with a view to electrickery. Narrowly missed an ICE QNT recently. Still watching a Kettwiesel.

My T-Tris 26 is somewhere between Brno and here... In my area there are no trikes, I have seen two in the last 5 years and the second hand market is zero.
Nice build Emma. My welding skills are a bit rusty and I have no workshop but I did look hard at Atomic Zombie before deciding factory built was a wiser choice for me. I get to choose the motor and install that however

Oh, of.course. Bit silly of me but I'll keep eyes peeled
Sadly I think you just missed Jeremy selling 328rpm motors
Hi Folks ,
I went and done it ,tonight
I have ordered a new q100 ,
here are the latest photos of the beast. The build log is on atomiczombie.com for anyone interested .
Its has been tested using the BPM motor , it's too quick and juicy .
It went uphill as fast as it goes along the flat .
This week after .a long weekend away triking I found some time on Tuesday to test the folding mech and to check it fits in the estate car.
With breath help and a sigh of relief and photos to prove .
It folds and fits,
It only needs 3 bolts ( 2 for seat removal and clamp bolt ) to fold and the mirrors removed to fit in the very back of the X type - result you might say .
tools required for the fold is a 6mm allen and 13mm spanner with a 10mm spanner for the mirrors .
Removing the hamster bags does help (it allows you to see the bolts )
Currently I have a bottle battery fitted on the rear of the seat and hope to retain it or acquire another similar one .
They say a photo is worth a thousand words so 5000 words later
That will be it for this year ( famous last words )
