Trike Canopy: Has anyone tried this?
1006841
Hi Walter- I was looking for one myself, and here's the nearest thing I could come up with: the Shade To Go canopy, sold by Chubby's Cruisers ($50.00). It attaches to the seatpost and handlebars, and is long enough to keep the rider out of the sun. I would advise looking it up on Google before you buy-it doubles the height of the bike, and has a parachute-like appearance. I was advised by the guy at the bike shop that this is the only one that will fit the Schwinn Meridian. I hope you found this post helpful.

I cannot give a definitive answer at this time, but I will say it sounds feasible. Just be sure to hold onto the parts to your trike as you will need to forage them to make this unit work.

No. I bought brass grommets large enough that would fit over antenna then positioned cover on trike with antennas removed and centered them in relationship with the seams of the cover. I gave it a little slack and then installed the grommets. It works great and it's actually easier to put on because I have something to align the cover with the rear portion of the Trike. Certainly cheaper than the one that has a Harley-Davidson emblem on it. Happy and Safe Riding......

The canopy can be positioned either up or down as per the instructions but does not actually work or move..thanks

I would try a small amount of WD-40 making sure it does not get on the canvas. And, leave the partially set up canopy out in direct sunlight for a few hours before attempting full expansion of joints.

Unfortunatelly, I don't think it would work. The material is very stretchy and soft and it need some (even small) canopy to rest on, to create a bigger sunshade.

Worked on mine...in fact this is the best canopy I've ever used on an ez up. It's vented in the top...so not nearly as hot inside..and has kept me dry thru several florida storms. Can't go wrong for the money. And i have has tops that cost 3 times this amt.

I'm not sure about your trike, but we have one adult trike and two other adult bikes under this cover. There is still room for at lease one to two more bikes. We've had the cover for a couple of years and it has held up great in the Florida sun.

I wouldn't want to do this alone on a regular basis, although I do agree with others that it is possible if necessary. I also agree that you'd be hard pressed to find any canopy this size that would be easy for one person to set up.

It can be done but you have to take your time. Two setting it up goes much smoother, especially when it comes to putting the top of the canopy on.

No. The trike is over 2 feet wide and is fairly heavy iron to lift off the ground. Extra width and some strength are needed.

It sound like what I have, the rectangular tubular frame on mine comes apart on the front and back. The tube will slide through cloth channels sewn in the the top of the canopy. It fits very well.

I'm not sure about that. I may have to try that because I can't find the panels anywhere. I recently just purchased the canopy top and I love it. Sry I could not really answer your question.

I bought it to use as a spot filler, but I have not used it yet. I quit working on the trike that I am building and it will be a while before I can afford to play with it again. Sorry. The directions says to just put it on in thin layers.

I am not familiar with the Sun Trike Recumbent cycle. The main reason I purchased the Sunlite Bicycle dog lease was because I have an Australian Terrier dog. She is only about 12-13 inches at the shoulder so I needed a lease that would work with a smaller dog. The Sunlite works perfectly for her, it installs easy to the rear wheel axial of my Mongoose hybrid bicycle. Just backing off the lug nut on the left side and attach the Sunlite. If your recumbent has a bolt and axial and an arm of some kind for the Velcro strap to wrap around then it should work for you.

My was not clear. The king canopy will not withstand any wind at all. The sightest win and the plastic is off the frame. I tried tying it down but this did not work .

I don't have a good answer. I ordered a canopy from Amazon that was advertised to fit all the RF wagons and it didn't fit. My daughter loves this wagon (has twins and a 3-y-o), but has not able to find a suitable canopy either.
