2. Product Overview – The NEWBASE Mobile Ice Cream Tricycle

The NEWBASE Mobile Ice Cream Tricycle Series is a professional‑grade mobile vending unit engineered specifically for frozen desserts, combining precision cold‑chain technology, mobility, and branding power. Designed for entrepreneurs, ice cream brands, event caterers, and street food vendors, these tricycles enable you to serve premium frozen treats anywhere – from summer festivals and beaches to urban streets and corporate events.

An ice cream cart (also known as an ice cream bike or ice cream tricycle) is a mobile cart equipped with storage space and refrigeration capabilities to sell and serve ice cream and frozen desserts. It is a common sight in outdoor events, parks, beaches, and other high‑traffic areas where people gather and seek refreshments. The NEWBASE series takes this concept to the next level with electric‑powered DC refrigeration that can achieve temperatures as low as -20°C, ensuring frozen products remain perfectly preserved even in hot outdoor conditions.

Ice cream is one of the most temperature‑sensitive products in the food industry. The NEWBASE Mobile Ice Cream Tricycle features a DC refrigeration system powered by 48/60V units that maintain a stable temperature range of 0°C to -20°C – sufficient to keep ice cream, gelato, frozen yogurt, and other frozen treats in perfect condition for hours. Advanced insulation technology ensures that frozen products remain frozen even in warm weather. This is the same cold‑chain standard used in professional冷链 transportation.

Key cold‑chain benefits:

Rapid cooling – capable of reaching -10°C in just 20 minutes
Precision temperature control – maintains temperature within ±0.5°C
All‑day operation – the DC power system supports continuous operation without reliance on grid power
