Libby's IceBear Zodiac on the way
Well, I finally pulled the trigger after over a year of y'all hearing me
talk about this!!!! LMAO !!!! . For those who remember, I have went from talking about a 50cc trike to modify for faster speed ( BAD idea, btw ) to getting a Cyclone 150cc & her getting her proper license. But for TWICE the price, you really do get almost twice the trike in the form of the 300cc Zodiac trike with reverse. So I have been reading everything I can, watching everything I can, and it looks to be a legit OK machine. I know Ice Bear, as a whole, has a bad reputation for overall quality. But from what I have read, the Zodiac seems to be an exception. Time will tell. Basic stuff when it comes in ( change oils, antifreeze, fuel lines and vacuum lines ) Soft break in ( that I don't really agree with ) blah blah blah. This thing cost me $4400 ish. * rolls eyes * BUT, there is no one, NO ONE else making 300+ cc scooter trikes. Ice Bear is IT. ( for now ) It will be here in about 2 weeks so they say. I ordered it from Bobcat's Motorsports in Cali. Was not / am not too concerned on how fast the MCO takes to come in, as Libby has not even got her M license yet. I ordered it in white. Very visible, nearly the same frontal presence as a Goldwing, plus has fog lights. And while I am waiting on her to get her M endorsement, I can ride it around a bit and break it in some. I am not a huge fan of trikes. That may change after I ride this thing a bit. But fir now, I am not very excited about it. But if, IF, if she does start going on rides with us, it will be a great thing. I just hope the thing will run a true GPS certified 60 MPH if needed. SUPPOSED TO. But, then again, my Grom is supposed to go 60+, and I have yet to break 53 on flat ground. Downhill, sure! But not on flat ground. And up hill OR a headwind is a 45 MPH affair. LOL
