The Atomette was a British three-wheeled cyclecar manufactured by Allan Thomas in Cleveland Street, Wolverhampton in 1922.
The car was powered by an air-cooled 3.5 hp Villiers two-stroke engine driving the single rear wheel through a three-speed gearbox. The body had no pretence of having a radiator. Prototypes & early cars were single seat and cost 90 guineas (£94.50). Later, cars were made which seated two people side by side. These cost 95 guineas (£99.75). The car could be ordered in a choice of blue, grey or green.Baldwin, Nick, "A-Z of Cars of the 1920s", Bay View Books, Bideford, Devon, 1998 {{ISBN|1-901432-09-2}}{{cite book |last1=Kay |first1=Stephen |title=Cyclecars An Annotated Index |date=2009 |publisher=325 Press |location=Govilon |isbn=978-0-9563160-0-4 |pages=19–20}}
