I indeed do have access to public transportation. I would ride the trike daily but not long distances. I looked at rapid repair/jims comments on the reliability and it seemed with a good pdi they can be fairly reliable? Would you think for daily, short distance use? I'll be basing returning it or not (I take a 20% hit) on if yall think it can be reliable :/

First Question: Aleyoop, it's PST-150-12, so in the link you posted its the "ACE" model on the second row. This will be my first trike, do you know if regular mechanics can look at them or should I drive it an hour away to the mechanic that can work on IceBear's (I contacted ice bear's to get a location of a mechanic if i ever need one).

Second question: Also, killermotorsports seemed to say it wouldn't come with a maintenance manual of any kind, is there a guide anyone has put together for regular maintenance and what to look at for a PDI?

I was *hoping* these things are reliable enough to sell my mazda for? I only go a mile or so a day and hated paying the car note, insurance, etc for it then discovered trikes. I understand stuff breaks down, but icebear rep said they can last up to 200,000 like a car can. Ive read a few horror stories of constant icebear breakdowns..for the most part are they reliable and a a primary means of transportation for short drives?

thanks everyone for the invaluable help! so when the ice bear arrives this week i was told by the dealer to take it to "quick car" for a vehicle inspection report to send in to them. I'm not sure if it's for the registration (texas requires inspection for registration).

My question is if this is the same thing as a "PDI"- what i'm assuming is a "post delivery inspection". From what I gather a lot of what i've read with people having problems with their scooters/trikes and ice bear in particular is they did not get a thorough "PDI". Is this post-delivery inspection the same thing as a vehicle inspection report? Or is the inspection report for registration and a PDI is something so I can make sure the ice bear is good to go? Anyone happen to know where I can get a PDI done at in the Dallas, TX area?

Edit: It appears a PDI is a pre-delivery inspection. I'm told the unit comes 90% complete with just 30min of work for me to do. Here's a blurb from the killermotorsports site. It seems any mechanic can do the PDI? So this is different than the vehicle inspection report or the same? Here's the quote from the site:

"For ANY unit you choose to Assemble yourself, a PDI - Pre-Delivery Inspection and FULL maintenance MUST be done by a licensed mechanic, This is required for ALL units and dealerships in the USA. By Saving the cost of the Assembly charge you accept the responsibility to do this. This is a REQUIRED step in the Assembly Process. By not doing this step you will be VOIDING your warranty."

thanks i ordered an ice bear online, hope its good!
