Greetings all! I am looking to buy a Magnum 300cc. I'm in Michigan and really like the look of the trike and it would be a blast to have for a 10 mile commute to work. I'm attempting to get some suggestions on where to purchase from in terms of reputation and PDI service. I've spent at least 2 to 3 hours a night for the past week just trying to read all the information that's out there. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance! |

Well I believe the closest one to you that sells the Ice Bear Trikes is RapidJim in WI. The people that already bought a Trike and had it PDIed by him gives Jim high reviews. There is the Tool Store here about 10 miles east of me but they only sell the 150cc and the 250cc and they are way out of line with their prices. WI would be close enough for you to rent a trailer and go and pick it up. It would be a day trip for you, but when you got there you could check it out and give it a test ride.

Yes that is my Ice Bear PST150H Trike, the only thing that has actually broke on me is the Fuel Filter, Air Filter, Chain Guard and the Muffler the rivets came loose. But I have modded it a little , oversize tires 205/65x10 it came with 225/40x10 so the tires are 3" taller, a performance Coil/CDI, racing Prodigy Variator, beeper for the turn signals, emergency 4 way flasher, LEDS all around except for the HeadLights and a Suppertrapp Muffler and had a 1 1/4 OD Header Pipe made for it. I have just also took that trunk you see on it and replaced it with one that has LEDS on the trunk for more visability from behind.
With the Taller Tires I will get up to 50mph I then can back off the throttle and keep 50mph at around 5600-5700 rpms, doing 55 the rpms are 6400-6500. Engine is just purring with the low RPMS. When I first got it doing 50mph the engine was screaming RPMS were running 8200. For a 150cc and the weight it has to pull 353lbs plus my 180 it is very torquey and pulls really good.

My son sells the Magnum and is in Caledonia, MI trikes4fun.com If you tell him his dad sent you he will give you a $200.00 discount or gift card. |

Thanks for the reply. Is that your trike posted??? If so, how has it been for you? I ride the 300cc Magnum with my wife. It's the one my son sells. trikes4fun.com We love it! It is very comfortable and smooth. Great MPG, about 70 mpgs. We have not done any mods other than putting a top case with lights on it. The new ones now come with the top case. Ours is a 2010 AND CAME WITHOUT THE TOP CASE BUT NOW THEY ARE INCLUDED. I don't know where you live but you can come and ride it. We have all four models in stock including the CANAM style. That is on smooth ride.   |

Alleyoop Great post and good information! I think your top case is the same as mine. I have a white one on my Blue Magnum. Did you put LEDS in it? What kind? Jerry |

Jvanoyen,
No the trunk already comes with LEDs in the Spoiler and on each side of the Trunk. The Spoiler LEDS light up when you turn on your running lights. As running lights they Turn on 3 at a time in SEQUENCE from center to each side. Then when you put on your brake they all light up and stay lite until you let go of the brake then they start the sequence from center outward(VERY COOL). The Lights on each side of the Trunk come on when you put on your your Turn Signals and they flash off and on they are also LEDS.
