Welcome to Scooter Doc, stewali. Here's another LINK. Prices are about the same but they do offer different coupons and discounts. These trikes are pretty rare and I don't know of any forum members that may own one. The design of these trikes intrigues me. I like that it appears to be driven by a standard scoot engine (GY6 - 50cc or 150cc) and CVT drive train. Basic and simple. The steering is done with an independent articulated front suspension which leans into the corners. The design is also lightweight and has two front disc brakes and one rear. The front suspension is simple and wide open for any repairs and maintenance. No yellow, but it looks good in black.

Are you saying he wanted the 150 cc trike or he has one and doesn't like it?

Just took a look, dont think I would ride one. Her little 50 Cc Ice bear took a few days to get used to with the rear wheels but I would be afraid of the leaning and geometry.

I've always wanted a Piaggio MP3 from the first time I saw one.
To me, the leaning reverse trike looks easier to handle than a non-leaning, traditional trike.

Yes, he said he did not like it and in a turn to fast it will wet your pants. He said power wise for a small 150 was ok. I have not aeen the larger one. I did ride the spider and you could not give me one of them, now I hear they mod the front but still....

The company that makes these trikes is DongFang. Ice Bear also buys directly from the factory under this link www.icebearatv.com/WWW.PST150-12.COM.htm. Here is the link to the Ice Bear Reverse Trike. www.icebearatv.com/WWW.PST150-12.COM.htm I have not had time yet to add it to my website but, hopefully will add it soon. Price is $2450.00 including shipping. I am going to try and find time today to get a call into Ice Bear and see if there are any know issues with this trike. I can tell you that the container due in this week is all presold and there are a few left in the container coming in middle of next month. Jim/Owner Rapid Repair

Mine shipped to CT on Tuesday from CAL and I hope to see it mid-week? I love the leaning front suspension as you probably do as its More like a Cycle than my Spyder Can am (Which doesn,t lean) and yet the front stance is MUCH wider than a MP3 which I was considering but would not pay $7,000 PLUS for!! Reverse Trikes are (IMO) Much more stable in a turn than a normal trike. I,ll be sure to do a extensive PDI! Here is the Video link-

Got my DF150 today. No Battery or wires ,Fuse in area? Seat won,t open when you turn key left, 50cc Version small fenders NOT the ones that were on the 150. The credit card battle starts. I,m dissapointed to say the least.
