    I believe the Ice Bear bikes are produced in their own factory. Cannot remember the name of it, however. Skyteam USA is NOT the official importer of Skyteam bikes--the CT clones are currently imported by SSR, Pitster Pro, and Roketa (they have my favorite looks, btw), so them dropping them should in no way impact SSR, Pitster, etc. still carrying them. But, again, I believe the Ice Bear ones are their own clones. For selfish reasons, I hope you get the Ice Bear to report on their quality, since you will be the first one to get one (vs. various reports I have read here and there about Skyteam's bikes, as well as youtube videos, and the link that Birdmove put here). On the other hand, other than price, I couldn't imagine pulling the proverbial trigger on one over the proven Skyteam bikes.

    Birdmove had posted this link on the thread he posted to one of the lowest prices I have seen for the Skyteams, and lower cost than any of the ICE BEAR CT clones:

    (my favorite color is the blue with black wheels, although the yellow with black wheels is a close second--these are the Roketa Skyteam bikes)

    vs.

    $100 less at Power Sports Best when I included shipping. But good prices at either site. Good fuel capacity at 5.5L (1.45 gallons) on Sky Team. The Ice Bear claims .9 gallons (3.4 L). All taken with a grain of salt. Both bikes looks pretty much the same at a quick glance. Like the rack on the Ice Bear. Like the black on the Sky Team.

    I had the Pitster Pro Classic CT70 clone several years ago and it was trouble free. It had the high front fender which allowed me to fit larger tires. Looks like these bikes have the larger tires.

    I've given up trying to figure out who manufactures what. Does seem that the quality of these bikes is fine for me.

    I like the Icebear a little better but Skyteam is a proven bike.

    I have come to the conclusion that they are all made in the same factory then badged accordingly.

    The frames could be made this way, trexuk. Kind of like how, at least in the US, there seems to be 4 or 5 brands of scooters whose models look identical. I bet these 'brands' buy their bikes as some kind of 'complete knock-down' or semi-knockdown kits and brand them.

    There were 9 warning stickers on my Ice Bear sidecar rig.
    If you look close you can see the last one on the carburetor float bowel to remind the owner to shut off the petcock.

    Still waiting for the MSOs for the two monkey bikes. Don't know why they can't be send automatically.

    I know in the past when mail-order bikes were getting more and more popular, and sites like chinariders and this site came out, that one explanation given was the fact that if they came together, if someone got hold of the bike and the MCO, they could fraudulently register and title the bike and one would have little to no recourse. Of course, you probably were asking why can't these mail order companies simply send them out via US mail once the bike ships (since obviously they wouldn't be using US mail to ship the bike)?

    Never bought from either one. Never had any unsolvable problem with any of the companies where I bought a bike off the internet. Use a credit card or Paypal and you are pretty safe.
    Which has the best price?
