does it work with non-quick release rear wheels like the single-speed (and kids) bikes use?

I have put three different bikes on this trainer, only one with the pin provided. Yes, it would work.

The seating grooves where the bike mates with the trainer is fitted for their quick release that comes with the trainer. I am pretty sure if one has a workshop in their garage can create a similar fit for any bike but I doubt, out the box as what comes with the trainer, that it will work with any bike not equipped with a quick release.

Yes, it works with the speed sensor mounted on the back wheel as well. Have mine mounted that way

it comes with a quick release rear axle but it seemed a bit skimpy so i just used my standard bolt on and it works just fine

Generally, yes. I use it with a GMC Denali Pro roadbike, which does not have a quick release lever on the rear wheel. The bolt ends fit into the stand fine and hold well.

Yes it does have a quick release lever. I purhased a set and both front and rear wheels had a quick release.

Yes no problem has quick release wheels and in fact just got a new Palomar GT with quick release front and back wheels to replace my old bike. I had it on my Frugah indoor bike rack recently as the weather was bad outdoors! Rain and cold kept my new bike on the rack inside! I had no problems with it indoors and love it! I loved it all winter with my old bike and instantly adjusted it to my new bike! So my answer is love my Frugah bike rake and have two one for my wife's bike also!!!!

Not an answer but further question: Does this work with quick release (QR) skewers as most new bikes have, including mine? Would I need a longer QR skewer to make it fit? Is the holding nut closed circular or open ended that you can slip onto QR skewer then tighten?

yes it works well for all bikes. but for busy children like I have I park it outside so the children park bikes on each side for easy accesses .

I've used mine on the back of my vintage Schwinn 10-speed and my modern Raleigh flat bar road bike (mine is set up as a commuter), and they both worked fine. You probably already know this, but you will need to make sure that your frame can be set up with a rear rack.

Yes - the bike I have installed has quick release hubs. I am not aware of a recommended weight limit.

My bike has no quick release either, and I haven't had any issues. I'm not pedaling fast, though, so take that into consideration. :)

Yes, it can as they supply the necessary part to use on a bike without quick-release, but I don't know how easy it is to set up as I have quick-release. You may want to contact the supplier.

Not at all. The rear tire rests on the RAd's motor. The adjusters tighten down on the rims cylinder caps to hold the bike in place. I've used it with a quick release rear wheel bike and without. I like the RAD a lot. It's loud but it gets the job done.

I'm in the same boat. Their listing doesn't indicate that it cannot be attached to a quick release wheel. My brother was trying to install it and what he found was that you would have to take the bike to a bike shop and have it modified for a cost of $50. or more. The quick release problem isn't mentioned until the very last sentence in the installation instructions. Good luck!!

Yes it does - we didn't put ours on the axle (would require longer axle) but we attached it to one of the unused holes that could be used to attach a rear rack or child bike seat (about 1" away from where the axle goes through. It stays on the bike and doesn't interfere with removing the rear tire/wheel.

My bike has the quick release clamp. I think a clamp with a carriage bolt and nut will work.

I didn't keep the manual so I'm not 100% sure. But I believe you do need a rear quick release wheel. It comes with a skewer that fits the stand.
