Can I use this on a 26 inch adult trike

Yes, front wheel drive. Works great. Balance is different from a 2 wheel bike. My husband loves his.

I put mine on a Schwinn Meridian Trike and it works great on level surfaces. But if you have even minor hills like I do, it bogs down. Going to replace it with a Geared motor for extra torque. Some minor problems with the directions but the person that I emailed solved them, Am very happy with the transaction.

it would be great on a 26 inch trike as long as the hub width is the same as a regular bike hub. the additional cargo capacity would allow for a bigger amp hour lead acid battery and give you a longer battery discharge. got 12 ah on my bike. get the 15 ah or next size up. unless you can afford the lithium, then never mind about the battery. but yeah, I would go for it.

I don't see why not, although the more the bike weighs the faster you will use up the batteries so you might get shorter travel distance. I ran the bike uphill WITHOUT any assistance & the motor has plenty of power .

If your bike has a standard 26" front wheel, I don't see any reason that it wouldn't work better than on a regular 26" bike. Biggest problem I have had is the weight of the batteries above the rear wheel creating an unstable higher center of gravity for the bike. Switching to Li-ion batteries should solve my problem but they are very expensive batteries. Using a trike should solve that problem nicely.

I don't think so....has to have a place to be inserted...you would have to check the trike

I'd say no. the wheel holders are adjustable left to right for different sizes of bikes, but they are not adjustable fore and aft, which is what you would need for a trike. You could try a bike rack that holds bikes by the top tube, like a Hollywood Express, and fit the trike with a "cross bar adapter." That way, you hold the bike by the frame, not the wheels.

Yes my fixie also has a 26" rim and the thickslick fits just right. The tire will be very tricky to put on the rim but its worth it.

Humm...I don't know. What I have is one I got for a Recumbant Trike. For a long time, I was confused with the wording "Adult Trike" Then I found out that an "Adult Trike" was for one of the bigger wheel trikes, Not the "Sportier Trikes" Try talking to a good local bike dealer, maybe he can help. I did. I hope I helped you.

Yes - It is a 26" wheel - There is no pedal assist on this bike it is controlled by a manual throttle

yep. - it is pretty big on my son's 20 inch bike. So I think it will fit a 26. its adjustable to extend out over the tire.

If your Schwinn Meridian Adult Trike has 26" x 2.0" , then, maybe, NO. The Schwinn Comfort Tire size is a 26 x 1.95-inch which is a hair smaller. I would go with a tire that is closer to the 2.0" or maybe a 2.125". Here is a good puncture resistant tire but more expensive...Tire Bicycle, street 26 X 2 Inch Puncture Resistant, Puncture Guard, thorn resistant, Comfortable ride by Biria, hybrid bike tread tire , By Biria

I would think so. I've had it attached to a 24 inch wheel and a 26 inch wheel. There is a bracket that goes on the end of the axle so I don't think the size of the wheel matters.

We have three bikes with 26" tires. We haven't put a 29" on there but don't see why not. This is a great bike rack!

26 is most likely a reference to the clamp size on your bars. Most are a standard diameter of 22.2mm which they do fit. So most likely it will fit yours.

If it is on a stable base then I don't see why not. The basket on the back of my trike is at least that big and it hooks down fine!

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.

depends if the bike has rear suspension or not. if it does then it's worthless, if it doesn't then yes you can ride it. as well as it fitting bike with wheels that are 24" -26".

Unless the rear wheels are very close together, I really doubt it. I have had problems with the rack not providing enough space between the trunk and the bike pedals on regular bikes, so a trike is probably much too wide.

Not without some machining to the frame. This hub, like all bike hubs, uses a 7 inch axle. The Meridian as delivered from Schwinn uses an 8 inch axle. To use any replacement hub requires moving the hub backwards about 2 inches by extending the slot in the frame it sits in and redrilling the associated bolt holes for holding the rear frame to the front frame. I recommend having your bike shop do this due to the level of precision required. The job isn't cheap but it is more than worth it. I suspect other adult trikes are similar.

No. My two 26 inch road bikes just barely fit. They will only fit with one front wheel in and the other with the rear wheel in. The problem you will have is that the inside distance between the bottom cross rail and the top of the arch is just barely over 26 inches. I don't think this particular stand will fill your need.
