Now it's time for me to add my two cents...First Luke...stop talking. You don't know anything about the trike except the bad stuff that has been written. What are you going to say after he gets it fixed and fixed properly and I'm not having anymore problems with it at all? Everyone knows you hate China bikes but hold down the nastiness to a low growl please.

As to all the Ice Bear owners and of course Jim thank you for your positive comments and help. Once she's up and running, I'll have a trike that will last me a lifetime. Larry has practically re-built it so I'll be safe and avoid these problems in the future. I'm very positive that all the bad stuff is over with now and she'll run just fine from now on. Thanks again guys.

You are very welcome, glad I could help.

As far as commenting on Luke's Comments Day 22 of New Years Resolution and still going (BARELY)

im doing this for the newbies,?to prevent them from buying disposable scoots ( i didn't say chinese scoots)
i want them to know that there are a lot of quality scooters out there , just shop around!!! lets lay all the cards and let them choose which one is better and fits their lifestyle.
like them, i was once a newby, and i just rely on what my parents gave me. if my parents give me their hard earned money just to buy a disposable scooter that will end up in the garage collecting cab webs, i cannot stomach that.
like tomcat the gay homewrecker.. lol

i like technotech better than malevelina simply because technotech admitted that they bought a LEMON and made a huge mistake in buying that chinese trike, ,,malevelina on the other hand is still in denial that they were ripped off.

What part of STOP TALKING don't you understand, Luke.

[malevelina]

I have a question for anyone but Luke. All you trike owners out there, does your trike have a distinct shimmy when you ride it? Mine is now up and running beautifully but there is a shimmy in the front end. Telcotech had the same problems with his trike conversion kit for his Harley so I'm just asking if it's normal?

[cyborg]

may need an alignment for the rear axle and also check all the fork bolts,,,triple clamp bolts front axle ,,after a few miles if the shimmy persists check the rear tires for feathering of the tread,,this will tell you the one that you are "dragging" and is not tracking staight,, and also check the rims for runout to make sure one isn't "bent" ,,and check the tires to make sure they're round (i've seen that one more than once with less expensive tires)and lastly i know it sounds idiotic but check your tire preasures,,,i've been
called an idiot myself ,,and worse it usually come from me,,,,hope this helps

What you are experiencing is what is called "Tank Slap" and most trikes have this to some degree. You could have a rear wheel out of balance that is causing this, have him take the rear wheels off and take them to a tire shop and have them spin balanced, they are only static balanced at the factory. I spin balance all trike rear tires before they leave my shop, it stops guesswork. To explain anything that happens in the rear will be amplified to the front handlebars. The Zodiacs do have a steering stablizer in them going from the frame to the front forks. I am sure that Telcotech made sure it was tight.

Well I made it 23 days on my New Years Resolution about Luke and his "comments". Now it is going to broken.

First off, when Malevina said "Now it's time for me to add my two cents...First Luke...stop talking" I almost fell off my chair from laughing.

Second, when she said "You don't know anything about the trike except the bad stuff that has been written. What are you going to say after he gets it fixed and fixed properly and I'm not having anymore problems with it at all?" I can answer that, he will still continue to talk trash as he has in the past, just ask DaveC.

Third, From a previous post in July, Luke, if you were creditible, maybe someone would listen or agree with you. If had experience, maybe more would listen to you and agree. You seem to enjoy making a fool of yourself. Of course someday I may need a good trailer, then I will ask for your advice.

Again I will ask you why you haven't responded to my questions on this thread scooterdoc.proboards.com/index.cg....63&page=2#65177

In case you can't find that thread I will ask them again

How Long have you been a mechanic? Auto? Truck? Motorcycle? Scooter?

How long have you made your living with the above?

What kind of different manufacturers/distributors have you dealt with and repaired or sold their machines?

How long have you been a motor vehicle dealer? What brands?

Read more: scooterdoc.proboards.com/user/21/recent?page=6#ixzz2rEepmL3W want to answer those questions now?

I have been working in the mechanic field for most of my life, have owned and operated Rapid Repair for going on 21 years now. Also, I am a Certified/Master Mechanic since 1976. I have been with Ice Bear since 2009 and been selling the 300s since they came out in 2010. Since 2010 there has been many mods on the 300s and today they are a better machine. Ice Bear is the only company that sells conventional scooter trikes and have a US patent. They strive to put out the best product they can and they DO listen to their dealers and consumers to take care of issues that may arise. As with anything, things happen and things break, the main thing is that Ice Bear stands behind what they sell.

I have come to one or two conclusions about Luke, either he just enjoys starting issues, getting people riled up and listening to himself talk or he really believes what he is saying no matter how misguided and uniformed he is.

Fourth, Yes Luke, I still remember when you compared me to a drug dealer, any other board you would have been banned for such a personal and untrue attack, it is a good thing there is many miles between us.

To the members of this forum, I am sorry I this thread, but enough is enough.
