Head Scratching Anyone familiar with Ice Bear?

I have seen this brand, and some of their products, lurking around for a few years. www.icebearatv.com
Since they have been around, they have some quality behind them, obviously taking the 'Chinese' built into account. They offer a huge range of scooters, several 125cc and smaller quads, and some CT70/minitrail replicas; some with a twist (i.e. the sidecar one, and the 'double' one). They offer the bobber made popular by Dong Fang/Sunny Scooters (probably the same one?) They have some trikes, too, and a cool looking ATV that looks like a mini Willy's Army jeep.

Anyway, is anyone familiar, or own, any Ice Bear bike?

Too bad they don't show MSRP on the website. Cool looking stuff.

Www.Saferwholesale.com and www.motobuys.com www.killermotorsports.com and mega motors (www.megamotormadness.com are some outlets carrying their products, although the primary products seem to be scooters.

Seen them in person myself at Jade Moon Scooters in Columbia, SC and in my humble opinion, they look to be of the same quality, materials, and mechanics of any other brand I have seen

They were pushed on me as being the "most respected scooter brand" being made today..... ummmmmm, not sure I buy that as we were talking, there was one on his workbench plus two others waiting on parts sitting there

I wound up buying a TMEC 50cc scooter was now has 900km on it and no issues at all yet... she runs very nice, comfortable to drive, and tops out about 37mph or so on level ground

I think anyone who carries Znen scooters, or carries rebranded Znen scooters (i.e. SSR) could make that claim (taking the Chinese part into account, lol), from what I understand. I think all the scooters sold from SSR are Znen.

I have taken a liking to the look of Ice Bear's atv that looks like a WWII jeep, and their monkey bike with the side car. Their monkey/minitrail lineup looks decent, but a little rough around the edges. From the sites that carry both skyteam's bikes, and ice bear, the Ice Bear are lower priced, but not enough, in my opinion, to choose the Skyteam product over the Ice Bear.

Does not look promising when a large dealer calls you out

Indeed! That's not a good sign.
