Our Bicycle

Based on the original 1920’s distinctive ‘Stop me and Buy one’ peddlers trading trikes, Our Bike is both handcrafted in the UK and unique in its style. Inspired by the original Morris Minor Traveler (nicknamed Woody due to the handcrafted framework), our bike is vintage in her design, friendly with her presence and appeals to both the Old and Young at heart.

Not only is our bike pleasing to the eye, we are also very proud to be an eco-friendly operator. The freezer unit is modern and very efficient. The freezer is self-sustaining and continually powered by battery or solar energy; which means no defrosting over trading hours. Also, no need to worry about dirty, polluting and noisy generators. We take care to use eco-friendly and recyclable products such as our ice cream pots, serviettes and spoons.

Velo Ice Cream Company want to promote a healthy lifestyle, even though we still love our ice cream. We are both mobile and nimble which allows us to be flexible being suitable for both indoor and outdoor events.
