Frequently Asked Questions
How much do custom Icicle trikes cost?
Pricing varies wildly based on specs — could range from $3,000 for basic builds to $15,000+ for complex commercial setups. You'll need to contact them directly for quotes.
How long does delivery take?
Custom fabrication typically takes 8-16 weeks depending on complexity. This isn't Amazon Prime — you're getting a handmade product.
Can I add electric assist to any build?
Yes, they offer optional motor systems. Expect to add $1,500-3,000 to your base price for electric components.
Do they make consumer family cargo trikes?
They can, but you'll pay custom prices for what production bikes do well. Consider Bunch or Nihola for family-focused trikes first.
Unlike production trikes from Bunch ($4,499) or Nihola ($5,200+), Icicle builds whatever you dream up — but expect to pay accordingly. If existing cargo trikes meet 90% of your needs, save the custom premium.
