Made in Hungary, I may have seen a picture of something like this before, it is still amazing.
Features a quick release mechanism for folding the bike in half for portability. The seat post and the handlebars are easily adjustable in height without tools. One size fits all.
PS, there use to be a useful "icebike" mailing list, discussion, it looks like they have sold the domain, this website is nothing like the old one, maybe it is the wrong websight.
There were people from all over, mainly Canada but a few in Europe and the US.

Very cool hard to find Ice Bike. 100% mechanically sound. All original and very clean. Has 2 tears in the seat and some minor paint chipping on the underside as shown in the pictures. Normal surface pitting on the chrome etc. from being vintage, but nothing worth mentioning. Everything works smoothly. One of the nylon rear axle covers has been flattened, but is still there. All in all in exceptional, well cared for condition.
Has a metal runner blade in place of the front wheel for steering, and a second runner just in front of the rear wheel. The rear wheel and its metal studded band are mounted on a spring loaded system to provide constant contact with the ice surface for propulsion purposes. Note that this is not a standard studded tire, but a perforated band held in place by the inflated rubber rear tire itself.
Pretty cool and effective setup. You can see videos online of this exact same model of Hungarian bicycle in action on youtube.
This is a single speed bike with coaster brake. Ice blue (appropriately), in color.
