It is one of the heaviest 150cc trikes Ice Bear Sells at least 100lbs heavier than any of the other 150cc trikes. As for speed all the 150s will do is about a REAL 50mph and don't believe the speedos they will register at least 10-20% higher than the real mph. STOCK if anyone that says theirs will do 65 maybe in KMH but not in MPH. Alleyoop Can you suggest anything I could do to it to get it up to between 55-60mph? I would like to be able to take it on the freeway, preferably without getting killed.  |

If your going to go on the Freeway I would get at LEAST a 250cc. I can tell you what it would take to get it to 55-60mph but as you know if the speed limit is 55 the traffic is doing 65 always 10mph more than the speed limit. Running a 150 at those speeds for long periods of time the differentials on the 150s are not built for that.
I have a 150 which will do over 60mph but only for short runs. Around here I go on roads that are 45 mph and the traffic is always doing 55mph so my trike is able to keep up with the traffic and not hold them up, but even though it will go faster I will not take it on the freeway. The freeway is 55 and the traffic is doing 65-70mph.
Just being honest with you I would not RECOMMEND using it on the freeway.

I`ll stick to the roads that are 35-45. They can get me anywhere on this little island anyway. SoI guess I`ll just wait untill I can get my Zodiac before attempting anything crazy. Im so excited to get out on the road on a trike! I was told the Cyclone hopefully will ship out from Ice Bear this week, and my Ice Bear Q6 is supposed have arrived at the dock in Honolulu today. Shipping company says it takes 3-4 days to unload, then they will call to arrange home delivery. The wait is killin me! LOL     |
