Well done already.
Well i hope so its my first diy bike/recumbent butt there is always room for improvement.
The one i dont like is the paint job.
I am going to finish the bike in the Comming weeks.
After that i am going to test and use it for some weeks if the bike is to my liking i am going to dissasemble it and get it professional powercoated

Powder coating is a good idea. It costs very little more than doing a decent paint job. Just make sure you are happy with it first. A paint job can be touched up if you weld on a new bracket. A powder coating is much harder to do. One thing often overlooked is cable management. Cable ties work but look like an afterthought. Some thought in that area before powder coating would pay dividends.

Hi Martijn I like your Streetfox. I have built one myself with the help of a Men's Shed.
I'm looking to put an e-kit on my trike as well and would like to see some more photos of the motor and bottom bracket. It would be appreciated.
