Mobile Ice Lolly Bike

Options
I just woke this morning thinking of this idea for some reason. Can anyone help me about what I would need with regards to certificates. Can I just go and sell them without a food and hygiene cert?

Hope this is ok.

I will then start to design the bike and make it soon. Ready for the hottest Summer ever!!!:j:rotfl:

    Hi, sounds like a pretty good idea to me if you have the knowledge of making up a bike (which wouldnt have a clue on)....getting fit too while biking around.

    I think you will need a license for selling but not really sure about the food hygiene (I'm sure someone at the council could tell you though).

    Good Luck!!
    (not sure what made you think of it this morning though lol...its pouring with rain in our part of the country)
  • Not bad where I am at moment. Just thinking of making a bit of money. I will phone the council later I think.

    Gosh I remember those from when I was young. They used to be a trike sort of affair with a freezer box at front and a large umbrella over the top. They used to directly compete with the ice cream vans, not seen one for years though.

    Brings back memories.

    I found some stuff on Google:

    There's even a ready made business for sale here:
