Icy Rider
is technically and stylistically light years away from its competitors.
Its modern chrome design is ideal for a wide variety of applications. A
vehicle for all seasons, this Solar Kiosk is suitable as a wine or soft
drink bar, ice cream, coffee bar, snack- or information center.
Icy Rider has been carefully planned to optimize function and space has
been praised for both its durability and utility. Quality construction
materials and superior balance make the Icy Rider safe and extremely
stable in all wind and weather conditions.
Our solar generators have been thoroughly engineered and tested to meet
the highest industry standards for efficiency, dependability and
longevity. The front of the generator is hinged to swing down and allow
for additional slides, advertising, or display space.
The advertising space on the Solar Kiosk's sides and frame are easy to
remove and are interchangeable.
The removable cooling compartment has been constructed with 100 mm super insulation and has a maximum volume of 250 liters. It is enclosed by the rigid outer walls of the vehicle. The functional counter permits a wide
variety of uses.
It has sliding top panels for easy access and an energy saving cover
when the unit is not in service.
The counter top can be customized or enlarged to meet individual user
requirements and workspace needs.
Icy Rider is a real attention getter, a Sales Stand, and an Information
Center. Our innovative Solar Kiosk is environmentally friendly and frees
vendors and attendants of potentially hazardous cables, searching for an
electrical source, and noisy gas generators.
The Solar Kiosk will become the culinary meeting point at trade fairs,
public events or at your favourite street side location.
