Just received another email from Ice Bear.
For those of you that were waiting for over a year now and wanted to know, The Zodiac 300 is now built and expected in the States at the end of the month.
This machine has been highly anticipated and Ice Bear will start taking advanced orders on them on Monday.

Jim my 2015 Zodiac seems to be change a lot from earlier years such as no kick start.no hitch in back question do they make a hitch that would fit on mine? My title just came in tonight will be heading out tomorrow to DMV. As I read this forum thinking wondering what else may be missing I guess it's a way to save cost in production?  |

Well took it out to check it found front tire might be bad feel front going up and down and while it's doing it steering is trying to wobble. Ill be taking it off change location of tire on rim and balance not sure if that will help much. I really think because it is nylon ply has something to do with it. I remember when they came out years ago they would sit over night and flatten it took mile to round out till the next day and start all over again. Any bodys thoughts. Am a beating a dead horse or should I bight the bullet and get a new tire?  RapidJim DaveC |

Before you get carried away, remove the rear tires and take them in to be spun balanced. With a trike anything that goes on in the back will be felt in the front. A bit of steering wobble, esp at take off and very slow speeds is normal for a trike

Later after heat breaks  degrees killing me when it's about 8 pm will pull both rear wheels and have them spun balance then go from there rear wheels are the easiest by far. I had the hardest time with front lining the speedo thing, wheel and spacer guess like my DAD used to say just hold you tong different LOL. Boy that front wheel is something to put on if any one has a trick let me know for future. But having right arm with restrictions has something to do with it. |

Well both wheels balance 1 wheel assembly was all over will a lot of weights balance tire man said the problem is the wheel. So I took them home he was right it needs a replacement. I will be at shop for it's PDI it will need to be included with it. Shop said they will work on it Friday and finish Saturday. Since I will be taking my test with it in a few weeks I hope the slite wobble. I'll call Jim later see if I ca buy one from him sooner then getting a replacement from Ice Bear which will be months.

Well just got it back from shop they tell me fork assembly was very loose and many other things also I also had them install a alarm system and remote start. Except for wheel problem which jim is taking care of things are looking up next waiting till trike school start aug 23 ready to go my wife will go also who knows if she likes it this one will be hers. Then i'll call jim about another one maybe black or white who nows still got plenty of time right. ?? I guess doing a PDI was the right call.   |

Everything is getting better shaking just about gone, Noise of plastics in front was really bad. After we took off front nose was able to line every area with window insulation boy I can't believe the improvement it is like night and day old Nellybell is almost there took my wife on her for a ride she love it. Going to balance front wheel got 40 plus mile on her going to change oil again. Even my friend a Harley biker, took it for a ride was impressed.  |

 I order a new rear rim from Jim when I opened box the rim which Jim got,well the quality is at least 20 % better then what came on my trike is that normal? I was thinking maybe on assembly line they aren't looking but when it's being ship to a dealer they look at it, only thinking out load? |

Remember the whole rear clip in front of rear wheels to rear tail pipes come off and expose at lot can clearly see up to engine.
