We haven't used it on a push bike ... but on other things like the side of the pool.. and lawn chair.. as well as the wagon of course. GREAT Item.. my only issue with it is the handle.. wish it was metal not plastic. But we are into our second year with ours. We will see how they hold up. :) Good luck!!

I have used it on the wagon and a chair. The clip is strong, so it seems like it would work on a trike.

I'm sure it can work. The big clip is very massive and sturdy. You may have to put more force to it to open it so it can latch on to something wider. I love it! Best umbrella ever and very sturdy! Good quality! I'm glad I paid the extra few bucks for this one. I used on baby's car seat and stroller. And I know it was made to clip on one of those pull wagons.

Yup. I have two on my trike, one using friction shift levers on the stem and the other uses an indexed twist shifter on the handlebars.Both work fine.

Yes! Its easy to maneuver through small areas, easy to close, easy to lift! I love it. So much better then my double side by side umbrella. (I have twin girls).

My umbrella also has an attached pole, but that pole slips into a slightly wider but shorter pole that is attached to a cross bar base. I slipped the water weight base over the cross bar base section and then lifted the umbrella & poke into position. If your umbrella has a similar construction, it should be fine.

I think this would be pushing it. I used it with my 2002 BMW K1200LT, which is a heavy bike at 867 lbs DRY. But it handled it barely. It was just for a short trip about 200 miles away. Worked fine for that, but I was desperate and made it work. But a trike would be much heavier, although the stability of the two rear wheels might make it acceptable. I do not know if triking that bike increases the loading of the front wheel much. Perhaps your trike manufacturer could give you that data. Even if you do get it to work, I think you would be over the capacity of this unit and taking chances. I think this would be pushing it.

my experience has been with my petit mother, who loves it. However, It is possible that a heavier person could try tp ;ift the front wheel off the ground to get over a curb or somesuch, and then press too vigorously on the handles, which could send the three wheeler forward quickly.

I am not an expert but...I would say Yes, it is "resistant" if raining...not if bike goes under water for any longer period. Hope this helps.

My husband uses it when we bike with our daughter. It is never used to push. It works wonderfully when we bike with her.

Never been in one, but once you bring it home you can see it is made to a high standard and would likely not short out, but even so, you don't even want such a beautiful bike in the rain :D

I've never tried but it is a solid piece of equipment so as long as there is no rain I would say go for it!

I wouldn't recommend it. This umbrella is rather large and catches a lot of wind. I have a weighted base for a stand alone umbrella and would not use this particular umbrella in it. Hope I helped.

I have used too many devices that claimed to hold the umbrella in the wind. This is the ONLY device that works, is simple to use, weights nothing and folds to put in beach bag. You may have misunderstood how this works, the hole in bag has nothing to do with the umbrella, the hole in bag is only to drain the sand out. Unfold bag, have kids fill bag with 12-14" of sand. Now use any screw in beach umbrella with a large vent at top of umbrella. Now attach straps of bag to umbrella, voila it will stay up in 40mph winds. Ready to go home pull sand bag up and all the sand drains out the hole. Filled with dry sand it weights 30lbs, if you have umbrella with vent to let wind out which that and sand bag solves issues with blown over umbrellas for good

I have 2 of these umbrellas. It should be fine just standing up in the table. It's a pretty tight fit

I would doubt it.. The clamps are heavy and the unit requires a very study connection. There is a lot of torque when the umbrella is attached and up. The wind makes the unit move at times. it works great; however, you must have a strong foundation.... Wood

I haven't tried it yet. but that is partly why I bought it for my motorcycle (lots of rain is keeping me from riding the bike)
