Ice Bear product videos
Most interesting use of a sidecar on a Z50 replica; kind of the answer to a question no one asked...
Another Ice Bear product (mini Jeep go-cart) which is also seemingly the answer to a question no one asked... I had been looking into this brand (Ice Bear) a few months ago, but found some less than encouraging things about them, one from one of their former dealers who wrote some not nice things on their online motorcycle site in regards to why they won't carry Ice Bear products anymore, but these videos look like their bikes are fun products. With a great site like Chinariders, I couldn't imagine any issues couldn't be overcome using the collective minds here. I like the idea of both of these--the sidecar bike would most definitely get a pizza box and me a second night job delivering pizzas, while the Jeep-a-ma-thingy would find me joining in the Shriner's mini-motorsports antics in one of Yuma's several parades (the Shriner's wouldn't even know who I am...).

Both vehicles look like a lot of fun. Where would you buy them?

I've seen both of those items on here before, but not on video. I really liked the Jeep, and I got a kick out of how it has no suspension at all. A donor mini atv could provide control arms and shocks.

I think that would work, but for me, I think this would be relegated to flat dirt trails or parades, LOL

I found the video of the Jeep on that new dealer's site. It looks like they carry both products. I was glad to finally find one of the Z50 w/sidecar videos, although not much is shown. Most of Ice Bear's Youtube videos are of their 3-wheel scooters.

I found our new member's website just after I read your post.
