Ice Cream Bike

Okay, some friends and i wanna buy an ice cream bike, we could buy one for about 900 bucks which is good price with all the stuff it has, but we also wanted to make our own. Does anyone have any clue how to make a cooler like those bikes have. Building a bike and that stuff would be easy, but a professional cooler we are lost at.

If you could find a small top-loading freezer that doesn't work (the old kind that were all-metal) and cut it in half, you could get the sides and weld them together or something.

Make sure you dont cut where the actual ice dispensing area is

Maybe you could build in a portable wifi hotspot like this group did, you know for PSP multiplayer or something.

Get one that runs off of 12v and use a big battery (or set of batteries) to power it.

Use a car battery to power it if you want something lighter use laptop batteries like 6-18 of them.

A 12V battery, an inverter, and a standard freezer, or better yet, a peltier element, a heatsink, and a cooler

Though peltier are quite toxic if you didn't know. A huge amount of heavy metals. Whatever I'm gonna go and put some melted lead in my mouth and spit it out into are and sell it in the trading post.

ice cream is soo good, why don't you just buy a cooler and attach it to your bike if it is so complicated to make.

they have a cooling unit that I think powers off 12v.

Oh and how did he register tomorrow? What time is it?

I think timezones have left you in the dust.

Aw man, I would have so much fun with an ice cream bike. Some ideas:

1. Wait for kids to try to get ice cream from, then out run them. Stop, wait for them to catch up, then take off. Repeat.

2. Stock the absolute worst flavors and try to sell them to kids.

3. Stock the worst flavors in different wrappers and sell them at amazingly low prices to kids.

4. Keep fake body parts in it (like fingers and eyeballs) for when the kids look inside.

Buy the cheapest crap ice cream, overprice is, as long as you dontgo to the same area twice, you'll be fine.
