I just wanted to get it off sale asap, and couldn't get my head round how to delete posts from forums it was advertised on, so just put it had been sold. I'll have a proper look when I'm back on my feet, but from the little I saw yesterday, the front forks have snapped and front wheel destroyed, but the frame tubes looked o.k. even where the battery is fixed.
If I get no joy claiming off the drivers insurance (police not got back to me with any news of tracing the driver) then I'll either get the bike shop to fix it, or, if they check the frame and it's o.k. I'll get the parts and do it myself. If its beyond repair and no insurance joy, then I guess the battery and motor are worth selling, and the rest will add to my pile of bike bits in the garage.
Ironically, 99% of the time I ride the trike to work and yesterday was a one off. Super ironically, the ebike would be perfect for getting me back to cycling without overdoing it! Then again, what state would I have been in if I'd had that kind of crash on the recumbent.....could've gone straight under the car. I've always thought recumbents were generally safer to crash on, less far to fall, less rolling down the road. Plus a trike is almost unfalloffable, but in this case I'm glad I was on a df bike. After 10 years experience, I'd say that 75% of the time you're better off crash wise on a recumbent, but this one........would've been nasty.
Blimey, there's a new thread in there methinks!
