ICE recumbent trikes

AlphaBENT has been an ICE Premium Dealer ever since there have been ICE Premium Dealers.

We truly love dealing with this fine, upstanding company. Inspired Cycle Engineering (ICE) has shown remarkable consistency in innovation, constantly improving its products, streamlining its processes, and leading the recumbent trike market with particularly well-designed and implemented products.

ICE stands behind their products and goes the extra mile for ICE trike riders.

We endeavour to keep the entire ICE lineup of products represented in our shop -- usually with at least seven ICE trikes on the floor at a time.

ICE trikes are characterized by:

modularity - using the same parts and accessories across different models
transportability - ICE trikes generally fold up very nicely
broad applicability - fitting a broad spectrum of rider needs and desires
appealing visual aesthetics - made with an eye for beauty

Which is to say, they do what you want and look drop-dead gorgeous.

Located in Cornwall, England, UK, ICE has won local awards for innovation including winning the:

Cornwall Best International Business and the Winner of Winners awards,
and ICE marketing director, Ben Rotheray, won the Unlocking Cornish Potential Contribution to Business Growth Award.

For company background, the folks at ICE tell it best.
