has anyone used this with a recumbent trike?

I'd give my eyeteeth to be able to use any dog attachment with my SunTrike! WHY is no company making anything for those of us who must ride recumbent trikes, but want our furbabies to be able to go along with us??Can you spell 'missed opportunity?" !!!Sorry, not really an answer for you, more of commiseration.....

I have owned it for three months now and love it! We have a Husky and it works well.

No, not without significant modification (welding, drilling metal, b ending metal). It mounts on the rear axle of a 2-wheeler in place of training wheels. Want to push a trike? Use a broom, like my dad did for me on my Big Wheel in the 70's. Really.

I think so. Doesn't work as well on a bike with gears so a trike should be fine.

I have put this on my recumbent bike with no problem, if you go to their web site, you can see many uses for this to fit. I really like my bike tow leash.

My bike trotter broke first time out on my bike so I am not sure it would would hold up. I have used the Bike Tow Leash on trikes and it works great.

Dear Mary, I have had my trike for a couple of years and love it!!!!! I looked for a trike rack for the back of my motor home and found one back east. In looking today, I see (Hitch Rider.com) has the one your looking for. I took my trik on a month long trip to Oregon last and rode it often. Best wishes, Carole

The trike is very sturdy. It's not likely to tip over, as it has a wide wheel base. Ours have not tipped over at all. It's not one of those narrow rear wheel based tricycles. You have to do some (or most) assemby. All the nuts, screws, bolts and small pieces come in plastics bags, un-marked. Leaves you guessing where to use certain nuts and bolts. My husband and I assembled ours, but still had to take them to a bike shop for them to do the final adjustments. We're very pleased with our trikes, I hope you will be too.

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.

I am not sure it can be used on a tricycle. Normally the tricycle has two rear wheels. This attaches to the rear single wheel on a bicycle. The item can however be converted to be a bike rack where it attaches underneath the seat. I have not used it in that way as of yet. But perhaps it could attach underneath a tricycle seat. Just not sure.

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!

I bought it for my father's Schwinn Meridian 26 trike and it worked great. He loves it.

My specialized tri-cross expert has mounts on the down tube. All I had to do was remove the the Allen bolts and put them through the rack, and screw them all back in. The same was for the lower mounts. You may have to contact the manufacturer if you cannot mount to the seat post bolt.

It does attach to a std adult trike post but I was not able to attach the support bar. The support bar attachs to the bottom of the seat and is for addtl stability. It works without it but does wobble some.

Never had a problem with peddling effort. The rubber tires are what make this trike easy to peddle as opposed to trikes with plastic tires that lose grip and spin.

I made the conversion on my wifes tricycle. The conversion works very well. Make sure you also order the correct fulcrum lever and a shift cable cup that screws into the fulcrum lever. These two items did not come in the kit. LC

Yes, it will work. I have a sun trike as well and the hollywood rack with the trike adapter. The link shown is only for the adapter. You will also need the rack. The other thing to consider is lifting the bike onto the bike rack which isn't easy.

Yes, I saw this seat on a Schwinn Trike at Big Daddys bike rental. That's where we got the idea of putting one on my wifes Trike we got at Camping World. I haven't put the extra brace on the seat yet. I'm waiting on her to see if she needs it.
