Hi clonedrone, I came aboard asking the same questions about ScooterDepot. It seems that there have been quite a few problems with their trikes. You can read RapidJim's comments on these.
They are now shipping their scooters completely assembled in order to alleviate their problems, but it seems the jury is still out on them. They, obviously, sell a ton of scooters through their website.
One of my local dealers here in Florida, used to be a dealer of these scoots, but lost money on them with repairs. He could not get the parts. He had to take them back from the customers he sold them to.
Now, whether or not all of this has changed...I don't know.

Thanks people, I really appreciate the input. I have really been doing my "due diligence" on everything. Still undecided.
I have, since, received info on the "reverse" trikes. Seems they have had problems with bearings in the front steering/suspension system, and owners did not know it existed until too late. I spoke with the California distributor, and he verified that, but it was due to incorrect assembly on the new owners part. They (scooterdepot) are now shipping the scooters completely assembled by their technicians, and have had no complaints ever since. There is no assembly needed by the customer. Shrink wrapped on a pallet, when delivered, and ready to go.
I am still leaning towards the Ice Bear Eagle 150. And as others on this forum, I will contact RapidJim for more info on that scooter.
Thanks again for all the input. This forum is really worthwhile to a potential new owner.

A newby here. Hi guys. Have read your many posts, and I am considering buying a trike scooter. Needless to say I am a bit older, and am done with the 2 wheeled vehicles.I am looking for opinions from those who know, any recommendations on manufacterers?
I have been looking at the Ice Bear line, and those offered by ScooterDepot.com. The main difference is the dual wheels in the rear versus the dual wheels in the front. I would like to stay in the 150cc range for size.
Any feedback would be appreciated as to the pros and cons of what I have looked at. Have to admit that I like the Ice Bear Eagle 150 so far. Thanks for any response.
