At
ICE we believe that good rides start with a trike which fits well. Our Rider
Positioning System (R.P.S) covers a combination of features which we've
developed to ensure the perfect rider fit.
Adjustable Boom and Seat
Angle Adjustment
This
starts with our adjustable boom which allows the boom to be extended and
retracted to fit your leg length. Riders can then adjust the seat angle to one of four positions over a 7.5 degree range. This may not sound like much adjustment but having the seat angle just right for you makes a big difference to your comfort. The ICE mesh seat can be tuned to the perfect fit to your back by adjusting individual straps on the back of the seat.
Custom Brackets and Short
Arm Cranks and Seat Types
We've
developed custom designed brackets for shorter and taller riders giving a total
X-Seam range of 35 to 50 inches (see our rider fitting page for more details).
Shorter riders can also order short arm cranks to ensure the most comfortable
ride. Where fitted, the ICE
headrest can be adjusted to provide optimum support.
Anodised Parts
Adjustable
parts such as the boom and the seat back rest clamp are hard black anodised,
helping to prevent cosmetic wear under continuous use, the boom also has
laser-etched fit markings which allow riders to quickly adjust the trike back
to their ideal riding position.
Technical Information
FF Bracket for Short
Riders
The
FF bracket moves the front seat mount forward for very short legged riders.
Short riders on the Sprint or Vortex who use this bracket and would like to be
more upright would also need the TT bracket which can be ordered from your
dealer.
FB Bracket for Tall Riders
The
FB bracket - moves the front seat mount backwards for very long legged riders.
Note that using this bracket with the hard shell seat will reduce the maximum
recline available.
Short Crank Chainset
Option
For
shorter riders we can supply a front chainset with 152mm cranks in place of the
more standard 170mm. These cranks come with alloy CNC machined 22/32/44 tooth
chain rings on a 64/104 - 4 arm spider. The rings are smaller than those used
on the standard chainset we use and hence give a more appropriate lower gear
spread. Short cranks give greatly improved comfort for shorter riders and are
recommended for those under approximately 5'4". They are essential for
riders under approximately 5'2" to give comfort and proper fit on the
trike. Please see Trike Size page for more information.
The
ICE Compact Flat Twist (C.F.T) fold is standard on all ICE Adventure and Sprint trikes. The folding
is based around a lightweight heat treated aluminium hinge on the main frame.
This allows the rear of the trike to pivot so that the rear wheel fits snugly
between the front wheels. To fold, you simply release the seat by unscrewing the
retention knobs and a quick release lever, once this has been done the
handlebars are folded by loosening a quick release lever, from here it's just a
quick release on the main frame and you're ready to go. Folding the trike is
normally completed in well under 30 seconds. The fold has been designed to work
with ICE accessories such as our racks and mudguards.
Whether
it's putting the trike in the back of the car to visit a local trail or loading
it onto a small airplane for the tour of your life, the ICE C.F.T fold provides
the convenience and portability you need.

The ICE front and rear Road Response Suspension (R.R.S) is the result of over three years of continued development. The system has been specifically engineered to answer the suspension requirements of trikes ensuring a smooth and controlled ride whatever the surface.
The
ICE front Road Response Suspension (R.R.S) is the result of over three years of
continued development. The system has been specifically engineered to answer
the suspension requirements of trikes and delivers 40mm (1.57”) of smooth
controlled travel . As well as using our in house expertise, we've worked with
outside experts to ensure the delivered product meets our exacting standards.
Made from heat treated 6061 T6 aircraft grade aluminium the unit delivers
strength and stiffness combined with light weight to ensure you don't notice
the suspension working, you just notice the smooth ride and controlled
handling.
Rear Suspension
The
ICE rear Road Response Suspension (R.R.S) system is the result of over 10 years
of tireless development and testing. Providing up to 100mm (4 inches) of rear
wheel travel, the suspension delivers comfort without compromising the accurate
handling and control for which ICE trikes are famed. The system also minimises
rear end squat during pedalling to ensure optimum power transfer. The rear suspension has been designed to give a high level of adjustability and durability, we have also developed a full range of racks and accessories to be fitted to our suspension models.
Technical Information
Front
Suspension
Technical Information
Designing
front suspension for trikes provides unique challenges. How does the trike
perform under heavy braking? How do you eliminate bump steer? After examining
many options we decided to develop a double leading link system. The benefits
of this system are as follows:
Bump Steer
Bump
steer is a situation in which the steering of a trike is affected by the
movement of the front suspension. The ICE front Road Response Suspension
(R.R.S) eliminates bump steer. This results from the fact that the steering
track rod is independent of the suspension system and does not move up and down
with the suspension system. This ensures that the trike does not start steering
itself when it hits larger bumps and surface irregularities.
Brake Dive
The
ICE front suspension utilises a double leading link system with anti-dive built
in. This is a feature which cannot be added to the suspension, but has to
be designed in from the start. Many cycle suspension designs have no
anti-dive, and some can even provoke diving under braking. Single link and
parallel link designs are well known for producing unwanted suspension movement
when the brakes are applied; the quicker you stop, the more undesirable the
effect on the suspension. Our double link system provides an element
of stability under braking that helps to ensure a stable and predictable
steering response under the most challenging conditions.
Dynamic
handling & Minimal roll
Here
at ICE we love riding trikes which are sharp and poised with controlled and
dynamic handling. One of our concerns when developing a front suspension was to
avoid developing a trike with mushy or vague handling. To avoid this scenario,
we tested different suspension systems experimenting with differing levels of
suspension travel. We found that while longer travel systems performed well in
mountain biking situations they did not give precise on road handling without
requiring heavy and expensive anti-roll bars. At this point we decided to focus
our suspension towards road, track, and trail use, allowing us to reduce the
maximum travel to 40mm (1.57") to deliver precise handling and light
weight. We'll freely admit that our front suspension is not great for 8"
(200mm) mountain bike style drop offs, but if you're riding on roads, trails
and tracks; we feel it delivers an unmatched balance of precise handling and a
smooth comfortable ride.
Durability
and Longevity
ICE
trikes are renowned for their durability and longevity, this leads to them
being a popular choice for world tours. With this in mind, we've designed our
front suspension for minimal maintenance. All moving parts are made from
aircraft grade 6061 T6 aluminium which is precision ground or CNC machined
followed by heat treating and hard-anodising processes. These moving parts run
in replaceable self-lubricating bearing sleeves which are engineered to last
the life of the trike. To further aid longevity the springing system is
protected from grit and debris by a rubber gaiter.
Elastomer
Based System
The
ICE front Road Response Suspension (R.R.S) system is based on a elastomeric
spring unit. This has been optimised for both small bump and large bump
response and also has a natural damping effect which helps control wheel
movement over repeated surface irregularities.
Fully
Adjustable
At
ICE we always try to fit the trike to the rider. This is why we offer a
selection of spring units for the front suspension, so the suspension
performance can be optimised to rider weight and riding style.
Advanced
Design and Engineering
The
ICE front Road Response Suspension has been developed using the latest Computer
Aided Design (CAD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) technology. In addition to
this, our test rigs have simulated over 100,000 full load cycles to ensure the
suspension is up to rigorous use, many riders won't go this far.... but it's
nice to know.
Rear
Suspension
The
ICE Road Response Suspension (R.R.S) is based on a 7005 T6 series heat treated
triangulated rear frame which combines exceptional stiffness and low weight to
ensure precise handling even in extreme loading and riding situations.
Utilising self lubricating and adjustable bushes running on a precision-ground
hollow oversized stainless steel pins, the suspension pivot gives low friction
conditions and virtually eliminates stiction within the suspension system.
Our
Road Response Suspension (R.R.S) uses an elastomeric springing unit; this was
selected due to its integral damping qualities, responsiveness and low
maintenance requirements. Three grades of elastomer of differing stiffnesses
combine with a five position adjustment system allow the suspension to be
quickly and easily tuned to precisely suit the rider and riding conditions.
As
with all ICE products our Road Response Suspension was developed and optimised
on our CAD systems prior to the first development prototypes being made for
testing.
Our acclaimed wide-range custom gearing allows you to climb the steepest hills and ride the fastest descents.
One of the challenges for
trike designers is giving a wide gear range on a machine with a smaller back
wheel. Our custom Capreo gearing system gives a very wide range of gears
enabling riders to go from climbing mountain passes on a fully loaded touring trike to being able to pedal at over 30mph (45 km/h) – if you are fit enough!. A standard
bicycle gearing system when used with a 20” rear wheel gives a much reduced
gear range which can compromise hill climbing or high speed riding ability.
Bryan Ball Managing Editor
Bentrideronline – ICE Sprint test May 2010
“All of the components
worked well on the Sprint also. I especially appreciated the custom gearing
package that ICE has designed. Shimano no longer makes the Capreo rear hub and
its 9-26 cassette but ICE now builds their own version. The shiny sealed
cartridge bearing ICE rear hub is miles nicer than the Shimano version ever was
and the custom designed 9-32 9-Speed cassette provided a lot more range than
the original as well. ICE matches up this wide range rear wheel gearing to a
Truvativ Firex crankset with 26-36-48 chainrings. That yields a low gear of
about 15″ and a high gear of 97″. That is just about pitch perfect for your
average rider. The steps between the gears are very well spaced also. I never
felt like I was making a huge jump between them. I rarely condone plagiarism
but I would encourage every manufacturer of a trike with a 20″ drivewheel to
copy this layout immediately. Even with the full suspension, the Sprint was
quick enough to use all of those gear inches.”
We know that different customers prefer different versions
of a trike. We therefore produce the Sprint in a variety of different frame
types.
26" Hardtail
This is the entry point to the Sprint range and gives a
great riding trike with a wide gear range; we also produce the Sprint 26+ for
those who want a hardtail with higher specification componentry.
20” Rear suspension
This is the most popular Sprint trike, fitted with our
advanced rear Road Response Suspension (R.R.S) to give a smooth ride combined
with great control.
20” Full Suspension
The top of the range, giving a smooth ride combined with
precise controlled handling, a very popular option. Customers can also upgrade
to a full suspension model (FS+) with the very highest level of components
fitted as standards.

The
FF bracket moves the front seat mount forward for very short legged riders.
Short riders on the Sprint or Vortex who use this bracket and would like to be
more upright would also need the TT bracket which can be ordered from your
dealer.
FB Bracket for Tall Riders
The
FB bracket - moves the front seat mount backwards for very long legged riders.
Note that using this bracket with the hard shell seat will reduce the maximum
recline available.
Short Crank Chainset
Option
For
shorter riders we can supply a front chainset with 152mm cranks in place of the
more standard 170mm. These cranks come with alloy CNC machined 22/32/44 tooth
chain rings on a 64/104 - 4 arm spider. The rings are smaller than those used
on the standard chainset we use and hence give a more appropriate lower gear
spread. Short cranks give greatly improved comfort for shorter riders and are
recommended for those under approximately 5'4". They are essential for
riders under approximately 5'2" to give comfort and proper fit on the
trike. Please see Trike Size page for more information.
The ICE Sprint has a custom designed frame with an
up-swept cross axle which results in a mid height seating position, this gives
great comfort and strong stability during spirited riding. The ICE Sprint puts
the rider in the optimum position for transferring power to the pedals and is a
very comfortable place to be on a long ride or tour.
Those who ride regularly will appreciate the
usefulness of a parking brake. ICE
has developed a V type parking brake which is fitted as standard to all ICE
Adventure and Sprint models. Actuated by a simple thumb shifter, the parking
brake is easy and convenient to use. For those who are touring on a heavily
loaded trike, ICE offer a disc parking brake which also can function as a drag brake
on long steep descents.
The
ICE Adventure has a range of carrying options from our custom designed rack to
recumbent specific panniers.
ICE Custom Designed
Suspension Rack
The
ICE luggage rack has been specifically designed to complement our Road Response
Suspension (R.R.S) by ensuring that heavily loaded trikes still have a
responsive suspension system whilst also providing a stable and strong platform
for luggage. ICE also sells a rack to fit our hard tail trikes.
ICE Radical Bags
ICE
has worked with Radical to create a range of custom designed removable
lightweight storage solutions for your ICE trike. Our Radical bags fit directly over the seat giving a
lightweight and useful storage system.
ICE Side Bag Mount
The
ICE side bag mount gives easy and convenient storage which can be accessed from
a seated riding position. The side bag mount fitting will accept a range of
handlebar bags; we sell and recommend Altura bar bags. Please see the
accessories section of the trike rotator for more information.
Fitted as standard to the 2011 ICE Sprint, the Ergo-Flow seat utilises the latest in advanced materials delivering comfort and great support combined with striking good looks.
The seat features several several advanced features;
Ergo-Fit Technology: The seat frame has been precisely designed and constructed to provide optimum support for your back. The frame is complemented by the integrated breathable seat pad and the side support bolsters.
Integrated All Weather Pockets: We've designed integral pockets into the seat which add convenience for small items such as phones and keys. The pockets are sealed with a mountain specification water resistant zip.
Breathable Technology: When riding a recumbent you want to stay cool. Our seats uses advanced breathable materials to maximise airflow around the rider helping to ensure a supportive, comfortable and cool ride.
Great Looks: We've taken the latest materials from the world of outdoor adventure and applied those to our Ergo-Flow seat. This ensures the seat looks good when new and is designed to stand the test of time.
All trikes in the Adventure HD range are fitted with a winder, deeper Ergo-Flow seat. The HD Ergo-Flow seat utilises the same high quality materials and construction technology as the standard ICE Ergo-Flow seat.
Technical Information
When we developed this new seat cover we decided to pursue a
no-compromise approach when it came to selecting the very best materials and
construction for performance and durability and comfort.
From June the covers will be enhanced further by the addition
of reflective patches.
Cordura 1000D
Used in the top section and edges of the cover
Cordura fabrics are used in military wear and performance
apparel.
It is used here for its durability and resistance to
abrasions, tears and scuffs.
Spacer mesh Used
for side cushions
Breathable, soft and flexible spacer material makes seat
covers comfortable in all weather conditions. The perforated nylon layer offers
high breathability. The construction allows the fabric to be stretched and
compressed in all directions, creating a cushioning effect. This helps provides
perfect fit and enhances the support of the seat.
Leno Mesh Used in
the central panel
Nylon low stretch, ultra strong, super breathable and very
durable material developed for marine applications.
Used here to provide a firm base to facilitate efficient
pedalling, while being supremely breathable.
CSM (Hypalon)
Used on back
Practically indestructible. High strength, excellent
weathering, and abrasion resistance, another material developed for marine
applications.
This material is used for its strength, abrasion resistance
at critical wear points and its ability to allow technical shaping of parts
that would be hard to achieve with other materials.
The
frame is the heart of any trike, dealing with the irregularities of the road
surface, handling external forces and the forces exerted by the rider. A well
designed and constructed frame is key to providing a great riding experience.
The ICE optimised frame is constructed from a 4130 Chromoly heat treated
cruciform combined with 7005 T6 heat treated aluminium boom and rear end
sections. This provides a stiff platform for efficient power transfer whilst
providing a comfortable ride which minimises rider fatigue on longer trips. The
frame is fitted with cable guides and brazes-ons to ensure tidy cable routing
and enable riders to attach racks and other accessories. For added convenience
all ICE Adventure and Sprint frames fold.
At
ICE we take great pride in the detail finish of our products, many items of the
frame are CNC machined to reduce weight and deliver a product which is truly
exceptional, spend some time examining our rear drop outs or king posts and I'm
sure you'll agree the effort’s been worthwhile.
All ICE trikes have a high quality Mirrycle
mirror and ICE custom 3 piece flag fitted as standard.
The
Mirrycle mirror attaches to the handlebars and gives a clear view of
approaching traffic.
The
ICE 3 piece flag fits into a mount on the seat. The flag has been designed for
quiet operation and minimal aerodynamic drag; it has also been thoroughly
tested to ensure it is robust in strong sunlight and heavy rain and high winds.
During
the last 25 years the ICE team have pursued a relentless development program to
perfect the frame geometry. This has resulted in our No Brake Steer (N.B.S)
frame geometry which ensures the trike steering is not affected by braking:
vital for safe stopping from high speeds.
Stability
at high speeds is key to any trike, here at ICE we ride in demanding hilly
territory and regularly exceed 40 mph during our high speed stability tests.
This ensures that the trike is designed to deliver the ultimate ride on your
next descent.
Most
ICE Sprint trikes now come with Avid cable disc brakes as standard, these brakes
provide exceptional performance combined with low maintenance. For those who
prefer low maintenance drum brakes we can offer these as a no cost option.
Sprint FS+ models are fitted with Tektro Auriga Pro hydraulic disc for the ultimate in braking power and control.
The Sprint FS is fitted with Sturmey Archer drum brakes, these brakes can be fitted to other Sprint models for no additional cost if required.
The ICE Sprint is an all-purpose trike with a sporty edge.
The mid-height seating position gives a low centre of gravity which, when
combined with ICE steering geometry gives real rider confidence during
aggressive handling and braking. The Sprint gives very efficient power transfer
enabling strong climbing and acceleration performance. This combined with the
Sprint's load carrying capacity means it's ready for that Alpine tour you've
always planned.
All
standard Sprint models can be optimised for speed by upgrading with an X-type
package. This upgrade includes higher specification gear componentry, brakes,
wheels, tyres and unique X-type graphics. Sprint X-types are ideal for those
wanting speed performance with the convenience of a folding frame and luggage
carrying options.
We
at ICE are proud of our trikes and want to ensure that you share that pride for
many years to come.
Our
painting process begins with a thorough preparation of our frames to remove any
welding residues, the main frame is then painted with an ICE selected tough
powder coat which gives a rich base coat, this is followed by a lacquer coat to
gives that lustrous finish which characterises ICE trikes. The frames are then given an internal
anti corrosion treatment to aid longevity. Parts such as the boom and the rear
end which interface with the main frame are given a hard black anodised coating
which helps ensure that these parts stay showroom fresh after many years of
use.
New technology enables us to develop more
sophisticated trikes and to analyse the performance of our trikes by computer.
Whilst this will never be a substitute for our rigorous real world and bench testing
programs it allows us to develop sophisticated technologies and bring these to
our customers in a shorter timescale.
All ICE trike models go
through a structured and rigorous testing program. Only once this has been
completed successfully are the products released to the market. This testing
consists of both real-world riding with data logging equipment and bench tests
which simulate repeated harsh riding conditions.
It’s
unlikely that you will ever push your trike to these extremes in normal riding,
but it’s good to know that your trike was built for much more than everyday
riding.
ICE
trikes are chosen by some of the world's more adventurous long distance touring
cyclists. Long rides over rough and uncompromising terrain, combined with
extreme climbs and descents often form the backbone of these journeys. In
addition to the extreme terrain, the trikes are normally heavily loaded and
often receive maintenance only when time and the journey allows.
Through
all these challenges adventurers continue to choose standard ICE trikes for
their adventure. So you can be sure, whatever your next ride, your trike is
ready for the challenge.
ICE trikes are manufactured using the latest techniques combined with traditional craftsmanship and rigorous quality control ensuring a consistently high quality product.
ICE trikes are constructed using a variety of
methods, we use both traditional craftsmanship and advanced processes depending
on which will deliver the highest quality. Some of our manufacturing techniques
include CNC machining, laser cutting and forging. During our manufacturing
operations we have rigorous quality control processes to ensure that your trike
performs to the highest possible standard.
The ICE trikes boast a 25 year lineage, relentless development combined with continuous improvement, resulting in what are arguably the world's ultimate trikes.
We've been designing trikes for over 25 years, and
we like to think we're pretty good at it now. Your new ICE trike is the
ultimate expression of those many years of continuous research and development.
It may be your first trike, but it's good to know that it's got a proud lineage
and some of the best minds in the business behind it as you descend that big
hill!
All ICE trikes are finished and assembled in our UK
headquarters by a team of dedicated technicians. Keeping these processes close
means that we are able to personally inspect each component before constructing
individual trikes to order. The care and attention taken to build and pack each
trike ensures the highest quality, consistency and customer satisfaction.
At ICE we're proud of the details which make our trikes special. Our
rear wheel drop outs are an example of this approach, these press forged
components save weight as well as looking great. They are also compatible with
rear disc braking systems and hub gear systems to give you the flexibility to
fit different components to your trike in the future.
There
is deeper hidden design thinking behind the dropouts. On all our frames both
dropouts are offset 6mm (1/4") to the right moving the chain over 6mm,
this combined with our super strong un-dished rear wheels leaves the tyre in
the centre of the trike while dramatically improving chain and derailleur
clearances to the tyre.
The ICE kingposts are made from CNC machined 7005
T6 heat treated aluminium, the result of this is a lightweight stiff kingpost
with a 2010 kingpost weighing less than half of our old kingposts. The
kingposts support the front wheels and a stiff kingpost contributes to the
accurate handling for which ICE trikes are famed.
The ICE custom handlebars are made from heat
treated aerospace aluminium, which is hard black anodised. The handlebars are
adjustable for width and angle; these adjustments are quick and easy to do,
just loosen the quick release levers. The handlebars also have laser etched
markings so users can reposition the bars to their desired setting.
The boom on ICE trikes is hard black anodised on
the section which interfaces with the main frame, this tough surface helps keep
a smart finish on a boom which is frequently adjusted within the trike. The
boom also has laser etched markings which allow riders to know their preferred
boom position setting.
ICE have spent many years refining the geometry of our trikes, this geometry ensures that our trike steering is not effected by braking - we call this No Brake Steer (N.B.S) geometry.
During
the last 25 years the ICE team have pursued a relentless development program to
perfect the frame geometry. This has resulted in our No Brake Steer (N.B.S)
frame geometry which ensures the trike steering is not effected by braking:
vital for safe stopping from high speeds.
Stability
at high speeds is key to any trike, here at ICE we ride in demanding hilly
territory and regularly exceed 40 mph downhill during our high speed stability
tests. This ensures that the trike is designed to deliver the ultimate ride on
your next descent.
Here
at ICE we've spent a long time developing what we believe is the ultimate trike
mudguard system. Front mudguards on trikes are only supported from one side
which gives a unique design challenge. A good mudguard must be stiff, strong,
light and protect the rider from the wet. It may all sound obvious but not all
trike mudguards are the same.
The ICE front mudguard is supported by a powder coated 6061 heat treated aluminium frame with a durable plastic guard body, the guard is adjustable for different tyre sizes, this ensures that it hugs the wheel and keeps the rider dry.
We're aware that many riders like the look of a naked un-guarded trike, for this reason the front guards are quick and easy to remove with just one bolt, and retain all adjustment settings so they fit perfectly when refitted.
For
the rear wheel we've developed a lightweight guard which protects the rider
from the wet and road grime.
When
we design a new trike we create accessories as part of the design process. This
is very true for our rear rack. Made from aircraft grade heat treated
aluminium, the geometry of the rack has been developed to ensure that even a
very heavy load has a minimal effect on the action of the rear suspension.
To
achieve this the rack has some moving parts; all pivot pins are made from ground
stainless steel mounted in self-lubricating bushes to ensure a long and smooth life. We've put a lot of
effort to ensure that the rack complements everyday life, for this reason all
ICE trikes fitted with a rack can still fold. We've also added thoughtful features such as a comprehensive
rear light mounting plate and tabs to help prevent your luggage straying
forward whilst mounted on the top of the rack.
Customers
can select from buying a top rack without the side plates or buying both the
rack and the side plates for a wider range of carrying options.
The ICE neck rest is fully adjustable for both
height and angle, we have versions which can be fitted to hard-shell and mesh seats to provide
neck support for increased comfort on long rides. Fitted with a removable
padded cover, the neck rest also includes a light mount which provides a good
location for fixing any rear light with a "Seat Post" style mount.
The
ICE side "handle bar bag" mount is built to fit a standard bicycle
handlebar bag alongside either side of all mesh seats. The side handlebar bag mount is very
useful for accessing items without getting off the trike.
For
bigger loads, the ICE custom-designed "side pods" are ideal; these
throw-over panniers fit directly to our mesh seats and are significantly lighter
than any rack/pannier combination.
Radical ICE special
side pods for mesh seats
We've
had these bags specially made by Radical for use on all of our mesh seat
models. At 2 x 12.5 liters capacity they are the perfect day riding or
commuting bags with plenty of room for lunch, water-proofs or even an A4
folder. The pair of bags fit directly onto the seat so there is no need for a
rear carrier (saving weight) or you can run these bags and a conventional pair
of panniers if you want to add more touring capacity. The bags can be quickly
removed from the trike just by lifting the pair off the seat. The two front
straps are custom-sized to our seat so there is no need for bulky buckles. The
top strap has an adjustable snap buckle and fits with or without the neck rest.
The zip opening is arranged so that the front of each bag can be opened whilst
riding along - perfect for getting at the snack bars or a camera. Available in
black only with reflective tapes at the rear.
Radical Side
Panniers US
These
larger bags (2 x 28 liters) offer many of the advantages of the ICE sidepods
while allowing higher load capacity on trikes with rear suspension, as some of
the load is supported by the seat instead of it all being on the cantilevered
rack (compared to conventional panniers).
The ICE chain ring guard protects the front chain rings from damage. The easy adjust kit includes an integrated chain guard and allows different riders to enjoy the trike without the need to alter the chain length.
Designed
by ICE for the standard trike models this optional chain ring guard is a
light-weight and durable unit made from heat treated aluminium alloy. The guard
is an added safety feature but is also very good in preventing you from
accidentally brushing against the oily chain rings and avoiding the tell-tale
prints on your legs or trousers.
The
guard may be fitted without removing the chain set by means of its convenient
2- bolt fixing. A chain ring of up to 58 tooth size can be fitted.
Easy
Adjust Chain kit
The
easy adjust chain kit fits to the trike and makes quick changes to the front
boom length very simple, making the system ideal for riders who share a trike.
The easy adjust kit comes with an integrated front chain ring guard and also
includes quick release levers to allow rapid loosening of the front boom. The
system allows easy boom extension adjustment removing the need to shorten or lengthen the drive chain.
The Flex Pack consists of ICE custom front and rear mudguards, rear rack and ICE custom chain-ring guard. All models in the Adventure and Sprint ranges can be fitted with the Flex Pack to facilitate your commute to work, epic tour or cruise to your local café.

Bar end shifter upgrade – includes Shimano Deore shadow rear derailleur, Shimano Dura Ace bar end shifters and a mirror mount.
Sturmey Archer drum brakes are renowned for their low maintenance requirements whilst providing good braking power and feel.
For shorter riders we can supply a front chain-set with 152mm cranks in place
of the more standard 170mm. These cranks come with alloy CNC machined 22/32/44
tooth chain rings on a 64/104 - 4 arm spider. The rings are smaller than those
used on the standard chain-set we use and hence give a more appropriate lower
gear spread. Short cranks give greatly improved comfort for shorter riders and
are recommended for those under approximately 5'4". They are essential for
riders under approximately 5'2" to give comfort and proper fit on the
trike. Please see Trike Size page for more information.
This pack consists of ICE custom front and rear
mudguards, ICE custom rear rack including detachable rack sides and ICE custom chain-ring guard.
Customers who require an easy adjust kit will need to select these options separately on the Build & Price tool as opposed to selecting them as part of the Flex pack.
This pack consists of neck rest, front light mount and a quick release kit giving
quick release wheels, boom and, if fitted, mudguards.

The Big Apple – for the ultimate in comfort, the
larger air pocket absorbs some of the impacts to give a smoother ride. The Big
Apple also has a large footprint to give reassurance in wet riding conditions.
Punctures are a memory. The SmartGuard layer made from
a flexible, special rubber offers particular resistance to shards of glass
and flints. Even a thumbtack cannot penetrate this protective layer. The
SmartGuard belt does not increase rolling resistance. The Marathon Plus rolls
as easily as a tyre without protection.
It is impossible to guarantee that a flat will never happen, but the Marathon Plus
has the best defence against everyday tyre wreckers such as glass, flints or metal
shards.
Kojak makes no compromises. Although this fast, sporty, tread-less slick is very lightweight, it still has a RaceGuard puncture protection belt.
A touring tyre that can do everything. That was the ultimate goal of the Schwalbe R&D technicians when they developed the first of the Marathon Evolution tyre range three years ago. With an HD ceramic guard and triple nano compound, it offers outstanding qualities in puncture protection and wet grip, but with its fine LiteSkin sidewall it is easily the lightest and sportiest tyre in the Marathon Evo Line.
Note:The Marathon Supreme does not have a dynamo lighting strip.
The quick release kit is ideal for those who wish
to easily remove mudguards, front wheels and adjust the boom without the need
for tools.
The front light mount provides a firm light
mounting point, ideal for taking one or more lights for those winter rides.
The EL-530 has an output in excess of 1500 candlepower! It uses one
massive LED within Cateye's patented opticube technology to provide an
intense beam of light for up to 10 hours, with an additional 40 hours
back-up. The EL 530 also features a magnetic switch, making it totally
waterproof for use in all weathers.
The TL LD
1100 LED rear light has flashing and normal modes for increased visibility.
Our
central mount allows easy fitting of the computer head unit to the trike. The
mount is removable and is fitted to the bottle boss mounts on the top of the
main frame
The
king post sensor mount attaches to the end of the kingpost arm and allows the
sensor to be easily positioned to pick up the magnet signal.
The Cateye Strada is a very small and neat unit but still with a large
screen. The computer head unit can
be fitted to the mirror arm as supplied with the trike. In this configuration
the computer is in the ideal position to be easily operated by a press with
your thumb. No fiddly buttons just press the top and the whole unit rocks to
operate the switch.
We recommend SPD type
pedals for trike riding as they securely attach your feet to the pedals. This great value lightweight touring
SPD pedal is compatible with Shimano mountain and touring bike type cleats. Adjustable cleat tension means you can
start off with loose tension for extra easy engagement and release, and turn up
the tension as you progress.
We recommend SPD type
pedals for trike riding as they securely attach your feet to the pedals. The Shimano PDP M324 SPD pedal is ideal for recreational riders who commute and tour. Combines SPD

Fun machine, no regrets
By: Peter Cummings - USA/CA, 16 August 2011
Edition: Sprint FS Good Points: Well made Bad Points: None really How do you ride? Casual, 10 to 30 miles
Review: I’m 66 years old. My usual hobbies are hiking, climbing, skiing. But I enjoy cycling and used to ride a road bike often on rides of 30 to 100 miles. I gave up my bicycle a few years ago due to various aches and a feeling that (1) my balance is no longer adequate, (2) my reaction time is too slow, and (3) a fall seems more threatening than when I was younger.
I tried a friend’s tricycle here in Bishop, CA, and liked it. On a tricycle, I have no fear of falling. I like stopping without putting my foot down. Being close to the road is like being in a kayak – a low position that is comfortable, pleasant, novel. After a test ride, I purchased the ICE Sprint 2fs in December 2010. I wanted a folding tricycle, an adjustable seat, and the test ride convinced me to buy the full suspension, despite the added weight.
My first ride in Bishop was disappointing; too slow. Things improved after I released the parking brake! Even the second ride seemed hard. Then something clicked. My pedaling rhythm improved, I became familiar with the gearing, and suddenly I was having fun. Bishop has several excellent roads with little traffic. On a tricycle it is easy to watch the scenery, including hawks, jack rabbits, and road runners (the bird that is).
The real test was whether I would keep riding. I’ve put 650 miles on it since purchase, about 100 miles per month, on rides from 10 to 30 miles. That is not a lot of mileage by cycling standards, but it beats the zero miles of riding I’ve had for several years. And it continues to be fun.
This fine machine has been trouble free. The derailleurs need adjustment every few 100 miles, as you might expect. I destroyed 1 tire in a hole; rim was not hurt. The suspension was a good choice, as we have some road sections with regular horizontal cracks that are deep. I disliked the grip shifters on my test-ride; could not tell which direction was needed for a shift because my hands concealed the numbers. I opted for the Shimano bar-end shifters and find these smooth and easy to use.
If I had to make this purchase again, I would make the same choice. I find the riding experience to be fun and comfortable. I look forward to riding this ICE tricycle for years.

Review: My husband had so many problems on his road bike (neck, shoulders, hand, foot) that riding was pure torture & he was about to give it up. But now he wants to ride longer & further & all the time. He's finally faster than me again & always looks like when he was a kid & had his first solo ride without the training wheels. Thank you for providing such a quality machine. It's a constant Show Stopper wherever we go.

Review: I bought this so I wouldn't have to continually readjust my other trike( Catrike Expedition)for friends. I also like to ride in City areas that have rough roads & sidewalks. I test rode the Full suspension & decided on just rear due to the seating heigth being a bit lower. On this trike I can ride off curbs & ride off road without much concern..lol
You get what you pay for

Review: I tested the Sprint 1 on a mountain in Colorado. Uphill nine miles. Easily the best trike for the job. I've read complaints about pricing, however, you get what you pay for. Ice makes the best quality trike on the market and and as usual, the old adage still holds true; you get what you pay for. England rules.
Wow!
By: Larry Varney - USA/Kentucky, 16 August 2010
Edition: Sprint FS Good Points: Comfortable, fast, quality build, handling Bad Points: Not the cheapest trike out there, but quality costs How do you ride? Day rides with friends, supported tours
Review: To say I was impressed would be putting it mildly. I have ridden/reviewed several other ICE trikes, so I was not surprised by many of the attributes of this one. But I was not expecting how much difference the full suspension makes. Rumble strips are no longer detoured around, and expansion joints are almost not felt at all. With its performance, ability to carry rack bags and panniers, this may be the trike to look at for touring and commuting. I like it - a lot!
Red Hot ICE
By: John D. - USA -- New York, 18 June 2010
Edition: Sprint FS Good Points: Superb Handling, Smooth Ride Bad Points: Weight, Option Pricing How do you ride? As the Spirit moves me.
Review: The handling of the Sprint FS is amazing. I put grippy Marathon Supreme tires on it, and then push it hard in corners. The handling is utterly predictable and solid--never a surprise or mis-step. My previous trike (not an ICE) surprised me regularly. Turning radius would change unexpectedly, sometimes lifting the inside wheel. No thanks!
The full suspension effectively soaks up the big bumps. Until you retrace your route with a different bike you don't fully appreciate just how much affect the full suspension has.
Most of all though, riding my trike is just tremendously fun. I love it, and look forward to with great anticipation to each ride. I didn't plan on the trike being my primary ride for commuting to work, but once I tried it...I can't stop (30 miles round trip, 2-3x per week!) The [s]miles are piling up fast.
