I have an IceBear 300cc Zodiac. I've had it a couple months. I got it running around town. My first question is where the heck do you get parts for these things? I talked on the phone to a guy in Texas who was vague about if they could get parts. And send an email to a place up north who never replied.
This is my first trike. (I've been a biker for more decades then I care to put out there.) When I ride this trike, it shakes the handlebars. Around town it is not too bad.
The trike had been sitting in my brother-in-laws garage for a few years so I thought the front tire might be flat in a spot and put new tire on front. When I changed the tire, I tried to wiggle the forks and they didn't seem loose. The front damper was real easy to move back and forth. I didn't know if that is the way it works. All in all, the front tire may have helped a bit.
In town the trike rides like there are no shocks. The rear shocks look like they can be adjusted, but I couldn't move the ring things. I found out that my brother-in-law had tried to adjust them and couldn't. I am looking for 230mm air shocks that I could switch out. I would settle for regular shocks, but if they are going to be the same cheap shocks as on now, why bother?
The speedometer doesn't work right and from GPS speed when I get to 40mph the thing starts shaking.
I think I should check out the front damper. But I thought for general riding comfort the shocks should be replaced first.
Did I mention that I'm only a fixed budget? Does anyone have one of these trikes that they have been able to set up to ride without feeling like getting off a bucking bronc.
Thanks for any thoughts.
