I have a 2010 2011 with reverse. I spent time getting it setup but since then no problems.

I think it depends what type of setup it came with, some of the early versions many had problems with the REVERSE mechanism in the Tranny. Ice Bear has been making changes all along. Now they have the one on the side that is part of the actual Tranny which is part of the motor. Those now come with a Reverse like the buggies do FORWARD, NEUTRAL, REVERSE. On the Early ones it was either FORWARD or REVERSE.

I have a 2010 magnum with the reverse lever on the left handle bar. I haven't had any problems with it yet. I check the cable regularly and make sure it engages before moving forward or reverse.

I have a new 300 with Reverse on the side
No problems with it.
But, when I was going mad tightening up everything, I tightened the linkage tooooo tight and it would hardly move.
Loosened, greased, and it now moves like buutttaaa.

The 300s have had many mods since they came out in 2010. Here is the link to the mods scooterdoc.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=trike&action=display&thread=5971&page=3 As Alley said they took the reverse off the handle bar, (cable driven to rear diff) and changed it to a shifter style with neutral. The change actually gave more room for the the shifter to go from reverse to drive, ensuring a positive gear mesh and elimininated the need for cable adjustments. Jim/Owner Rapid Repair |

Hi Everyone,
I recently bought a 2010 Compeller with 750 miles on it, great looking trike. Going through it, don't think that has ever been done, so many bolts missing and loose. Fixing the vibration, etc. Does anyone know where I can find a parts/repair manual? The best place to buy parts?

alleyoop, I have since found out the 250cc trike I was talking about turns out to be a 150cc. and the reverse lever is under the left handle bar. The guy she purchased the trike from told her it was a 250cc but I found out its a 150cc, and ( i'm not going to be the one to tell her any difference ) she is to be happy with it.

Howdy folks! I was told about this place from a friend of a friend. I was told I could get some good advice from all you experienced owners. I have a couple questions. I have been looking to buy a new vehicle and have come to the conclusion that my best bet will be a scooter. The gas mileage is unbelievable! I can't decide between the magnum, tornado or the zodiac. Can anyone give me the pros and cons? The differences? This will be my first scooter or even my first anything like this.
I'm having trouble getting the IceBear company to answer my emails and I'm hoping you all can help.

You may want to start a new thread asking your questions, so that more people may respond. I am short on time and have to go, but will be back later to help answer some of your questions. Roy |
