Why Top Resorts Are Deploying Commercial Ice Cream Bikes
In a sprawling resort, guests on the beach or by the pool rarely walk back to the main restaurant for a snack. You are losing potential revenue every minute.
The DERBAL Commercial Ice Cream Bike bridges this gap. It acts as a mobile point-of-sale (POS), bringing refreshments directly to your guests.
-
Increase F&B Revenue: A mobile cart typically generates 20-30% more impulse sales compared to a static kiosk.
-
Enhance Guest Experience: Offer “surprise and delight” services, such as complimentary popsicles during peak heat hours.
-
Zero Noise Operation: Unlike motorized vans, this pedal-assist tricycle operates silently, preserving the tranquil atmosphere of your luxury venue.
Built for the Outdoors (Technical Advantages)
Hospitality equipment must withstand humidity, salt air, and daily wear. We designed this cart specifically for outdoor use.
- Climate-Controlled Freezing:
Equipped with a 138L commercial-grade compressor freezer. It can be powered by an optional rechargeable battery pack (lasts 6-8 hours) or pre-cooled via standard AC power. Thick insulation layers ensure contents stay frozen even in 35°C+ ambient temperatures.
-
All-Terrain Mobility:
-
Frame: High-carbon steel with electrostatic powder coating (automotive grade) to resist rust and corrosion.
-
Tires: Reinforced heavy-duty tires designed for paved paths, wooden boardwalks, and firm grass.
-
Canopy: Waterproof, UV-resistant umbrella included to protect both the staff and the product from direct sun.
-
- Hygiene & Safety:
Includes a built-in hand washing sink with fresh/waste water tanks (optional configuration), strictly meeting food safety standards for 5-star properties.

Customization & Branding

Maintenance Guide: Extending the Life of Your Commercial Ice Cream Bike
To ensure your Commercial Ice Cream Bike operates smoothly for 10+ years, routine maintenance is essential. Unlike standard bicycles, this unit carries a heavy refrigeration load.
-
Freezer Care: Wipe down the interior seals daily to prevent mold. We use high-efficiency compressors (similar to standard HVAC systems), so ensure the ventilation grills remain free of dust.
-
Battery Maintenance: If you use the electric assist model, charge the battery fully at least once a week, even during the off-season.
-
Tire Check: Because the Commercial Ice Cream Bike is heavier than a standard trike, keep tire pressure at the recommended PSI to reduce rolling resistance on sand or grass.
ROI Calculation: Why This Cart Pays for Itself
Hotel managers often ask about the payback period. Here is a conservative estimate for a resort using one Commercial Ice Cream Bike:
-
Average Daily Sales: 50 scoops x $5.00 = $250.
-
Monthly Revenue: $250 x 30 days = $7,500.
-
Payback Period: Most resorts recoup the cost of the Commercial Ice Cream Bike in less than 3 weeks of operation. Investing in this mobile unit is not an expense; it is an immediate revenue generator for your poolside or beach operations.
FAQ：
Q: Can this bike be used on sandy beaches?
A: It is designed for firm surfaces like boardwalks, pavement, and grass. For loose sand, we recommend setting it up at a fixed entry point to the beach.
Q: How long does the freezer stay cold without power?
A: With our high-density insulation, the freezer can maintain temperature for 3-4 hours after unplugging. For all-day mobile operation, we highly recommend adding our battery power kit which provides 6-8 hours of active cooling.
Q: Is it difficult to pedal?
A: The tricycle is designed with a specific gear ratio for easy movement on flat surfaces. An Electric Assist (E-Bike) version is also available for resorts with hilly terrain.
