Well tomorrows the big day....went in hole hog and bought three scooters!!!! All Ice bear, 2- 49 cc (for wife and 18 yr. old son) and Ice bear 150 trike. Very excited, know I wont be able to sleep, and know I will absolutely need help and advice. I am disabled (having two major back operations) so a trike was needed for me. Would like to find some one who makes a higher backrest for me though.....I live in terre hill Pa.....Lancaster county and have only seen two wheel scooters around here. Will send pics tomorrow...coming between 12 and 3 pm, I know I wont be able to sleep ;D

Welcome Dawg1964, WOW!! You guys went whole hog alright, but why NOT. Are the 50s also Ice Bear Trikes or just your 150? Also if the 2 50s are not trikes are they 2 stroke or 4 stroke?
Just trying to know what you bought so we don't get all mixed up when helping you out.

After you uncrate them first thing is find the battery get them setup and charging while your putting them together. After you put them together and did your PDI, checked the bolts making sure they are nice and tight and not loose you can then go and change the oils and put the battery in put some gas in the tank and hit the start button(make sure the Kill switch is on the run position). It will take a few cranks to get the gas to flow and fill up the carb bowl so don't panic. Also don't hold the start button for more than around 5 seconds at a time because the starter and the wires will get really hot.

Good luck and can't wait to see pictures of your new toys.
Do not hesitate to ask questions and remember no question is a stupid question that is how we all learned and still learning.

Good luck with your purchase.

Side note Ice Bear does not make 2 strokes

Thanks for the big welcome!!!! All three are ice bear 4 stroke. Waiting on MCO's due to mix with our address. We are rural and our shipping address is different than our mailing address, my fault i didn't give him the mailing address, but spoke to Dave today and he assured me he can fix this issue will take three to four days yet though. Neighbors have been stopping by and asking about the trike, boy has it gotten attention and its not even on the road yet

Today the weather was lousy so we didn't get them out. next two days supposed to be much nicer and hope to post pics tomorrow evening.

Excellent link...spent most of last night going over and over the information and committing it to memory. spent tonite attempting to gedt through the owners manual without laughing too hard.....example: "page #4, DRESS: the slack and curious clothing will make you uncomfortable and unsafe, so please choose the good quality and tight clothing" ;D

Nice ride pics....love the flag addition too....my two oldest head to boot camp for the army national guard this summer (one leaves on monday!) My whole family has been in the service in some way.

Welcome. glad to have you. Let us know how to help you.

Make sure all the fluids are good quality. So change them ASAP.

Try to find a service manual. learning how to get the plastic on and off and how to service the mechanics are important. They probably are standard GY6 engines, so most any service manual will do. Under $10 will be a CD on eBay but learn to use the library here and download a free one.

again welcome

thanks, big patriot, to the point of being obnoxious
tell your oldest two to strive to be the best
pay attention to what they re being taught
it will save their lives.

My hubs was in the army, mos 18B40

thank your whole family for their service

Hi guys,
Had the trike out for a short ride the other day and noticed front end vibration....does it need aligned?? Is there such a thing for a trike?? Any help would be appreciated....Wont get to ride the trike now for over a week, we are venders at car shows and Spring Carlisle Car Show is this week - anyone close or familiar with it??

[Alleyoop]

It could be several things, one the front wheel may need to be balanced and or the Rear Axles is out of alignment and or the rear tires need to be balanced as well.
