    Description

    Professionally restored Dickie Dee Ice Cream Bike for sale. This is an authentic Dickie Dee bike that has been fully restored back to original condition. As a fully functional piece of equipment, you will be ready to start operating on day 1. Dickie Dee is still an extremely viable business that is often overlooked. All you need is a busy location or event and you can potentially make upwards of $1,000 on a weekend day from a single bike. You can pay off all of your start up costs within a few summer weeks if done right. These bikes are essentially an open canvas for a creative marketing mind. These bikes can be professionally wrapped (think of a car wrap) with a high quality display. The value in operating with a fully restored bike vs a bike in poor condition is a night and day difference. Customers feel much more comfortable purchasing an expensive ice cream from a professionally restored and wrapped bike vs a decrepit bike. Your gross revenue will at minimum double by operating a bike in this condition over using a run down bike - I know this from experience. The true benefit with this business model is the lack of overhead and the flexibility with how you operate. When pursuing a brick-and-mortar business you are flooded with fixed costs on day one and you are fixed to a single location. A brick and mortar business must make money from day one or you will find yourself in trouble quickly. With a Dickie Dee bike, you can essentially trial and error as many locations and/or events as you need to in order to find what works. Even if one location doesn’t work, you can attempt to operate at a new location the next day until you find an optimal selling location. As such, this is a perfect business for an aspiring entrepreneur to get their feet wet prior to entering a capital intensive business. Today, Dickie Dee is an extremely esoteric business; opportunities within this field are largely left unexplored across Canada. With a little bit of creativity and drive, you can make your mark! Dickie Dee’s are the only ice cream bikes that have been manufactured that are mobile, durable and that last for decades. The custom engineered wheel hubs propel the bike forward with very little effort. Surprisingly, a child can easily pedal this bike around without an issue. That is how easy this bike is to maneuver. There are no electric components to this making maintenance extremely easy. This is the cheapest and most reliable bike you can buy. Other metal bikes/carts are too heavy to move around and electric bikes easily break down. Bikes with freezing units frequently break down in the summer heat. All wooden bikes are shoddy and aren’t capable of keeping ice cream cold due to the poor insulating qualities of wood. In addition, no other ice cream bike can match the quality of construction of the Dickie Dee bike. The fibreglass body, thick insulation, and superior construction allow product to stay frozen for extended periods of time. Using this style of bike is the only reliable way to operate an ice cream bike business. This bike is the real deal. If you are serious about starting an ice cream bike business, this is the best bike ever made in North America for that purpose. Don’t make the mistake of analyzing this business from a manichean lens (I.e. Coming to the conclusion that an ice cream bike business is amateurish just because it is a bike; assuming that since you never heard of anyone running an ice cream bike business, it must not be viable; assuming that since the bike is not plugged in, the ice cream doesn’t stay cold; etc). There is a lot that lies beneath the surface; think outside the box. The bike purchase includes the following: Authentic, fully restored Dickie Dee bike. All interior parts (wheel hubs, frame assemblies) are either brand new or in newer condition and have been fully cleaned, inspected and properly assembled). Extensive fibreglass work has been done on the bike to bring it back to original shape. Authentic Bevin Bells on the bike that have been sanded and have a shiny reflective glow. These bells are a crucial part of your marketing. People associate this unique bell sound with ice cream. Use them to your advantage! *When you are searching for a Dickie Dee bike, make sure that the front contours and edges look like the ones shown in these pictures.
