Ice Bear150-19N Trike
The Ice Bear 150-19N Trike enters the light-duty three-wheeled market as a practical and accessible option for riders seeking stability and ease of use. While not a new model year, it maintains its niche in the entry-level trike segment, often drawing comparisons to models like the TaoTao ATM150-A1 Trike and various smaller displacement scooter-based trikes that prioritize commuter-friendly characteristics. This trike aims to provide a straightforward riding experience for those new to motorcycling or looking for an alternative to a two-wheeled vehicle.
At its heart, the Ice Bear 150-19N Trike is powered by a 149.6 ccm (9.13 cubic inches) single-cylinder, four-stroke engine. This powerplant generates a respectable 9.3 Nm (0.9 kgf-m or 6.9 ft.lbs) of torque at 6000 RPM, providing sufficient thrust for its intended use. The trike is capable of reaching a top speed of 80.0 km/h (49.7 mph), making it suitable for urban and suburban environments. With a dry weight of 161.0 kg (355.0 pounds), the engine’s output is adequate for its mass. Fuel capacity is a practical 6.81 litres (1.80 US gallons), offering a decent range between fill-ups.
Riding characteristics of the Ice Bear 150-19N Trike are centered around comfort and predictability. The low seat height of 559 mm (22.0 inches), at its lowest adjustable setting, ensures easy mounting and a confident flat-footed stance for most riders, enhancing stability at stops. Its three-wheeled configuration inherently offers a stable platform, which can be particularly appealing to riders who prioritize stability over lean angles. The upright riding position contributes to relaxed ergonomics, making it comfortable for daily commutes or leisurely rides. Handling is predictable, designed for ease of control rather than aggressive maneuvers.
The Ice Bear 150-19N Trike is primarily aimed at new riders, individuals seeking an accessible and stable mode of personal transportation, or those who appreciate the added confidence of a three-wheeled platform. It serves as a utilitarian option for short-distance travel and recreational cruising. Its modest performance figures and straightforward design mean it’s not designed for high-speed touring or aggressive sport riding. Overall, the 150-19N Trike delivers a functional and approachable package for its intended audience, providing a stable and economical way to get around.
✅ Why buy this bike?
• Three-wheel stability offers greater confidence for new riders or those less balanced. • No motorcycle endorsement required in many states, simplifying licensing. • Increased cargo capacity compared to a two-wheeled scooter, enhancing utility. • Lower center of gravity makes it feel more secure at low speeds and in turns. • Unique appearance turns heads and differentiates it from typical scooters. • Easier to park upright without a kickstand, reducing risk of tipping.⚠️ Things to consider
• Slower top speed and acceleration due to smaller engine and increased weight. • Reduced maneuverability in tight spaces compared to a two-wheeled scooter. • Wider stance can make lane splitting or navigating congested traffic difficult. • Less agile handling; cornering feels different than a two-wheel motorcycle. • Higher fuel consumption than a comparable two-wheel 150cc scooter.Rule of thumb: under 125cc / 15HP → A1, under 47HP → A2, above → A.
