Will this carrier handle two recumbents? The recumbents have a 60" wheel base and a 16" front wheel and a 20" rear wheel. Also the seats are large .

The two silver tubes that hold the black plastic parts you secure the tires to are only 40 inches long so if the center of the tires are farther apart then that it probably won't work.

The answer to your question is NO for 2 reasons. 1st your wheel base is larger than the dimensions of the bike carrier (Thule states it is 55"). 2nd the ratcheting arm is only good for wheels between 20" - 29", so the arm would be too short for one of the tires. Generally you ratchet the front tire so your derailleur, chain and sprockets don't interfere with the mount and ratcheting arm of the carrier. The other tire is attached through a sliding tie down, so theoretically it could work if not for the 60" wheel base and IF the mount doesn't interfere with the mechanics of the bike. You probably will not have any luck with any hitch mount or tray mount bike carrier simply because of the wheel base. You may want to look at the specs for the Kuat NV and see if that fits your wheel base, but beware, the rack is expensive...more expensive than Thule, but very good quality. You may want to consider a roof mount option where you can adjust your cross bars to fit your need.

It would definitely support her because it is solid and I feel attaches to the bike nicely. My biggest concern would be space. I have an 8 pound dog who fits in it nicely. I'm not sure there would be enough room for 16lbs. Or at least for the one size carrier that I have. My dog does love it though.

I bought it to carry my 19 lbs dog when I go out since I have arthritis. But I returned it because the wheels didn't go straight with my dog sitting in mesh. I don't know if it was because of the stroller or my arthritis hands or my dog's weight. The stroller may be good for a small dog or cat.

We have a flex and had plenty of clearance We had the 60 inch hitch cargo carrier. With smaller cargo carrier could always get the swing away option which was not available with larger carrier

Depends on how long the wheelbase is on the recumbent,The Wheel slots slide plenty for any regular bicycle,I just dont know enough about a recumbent bike for a sure answer. I'm still using mine with great success.

No problem! I carry my mountain bike (28" wheels) and my grand daughter's bike (20" wheels) on the back of my travel trailer and the back of my truck. I did have to play around with the spacing of the wheel carriers, the hold downs on the vertical bar and moving the bikes front to back to get the best fit. My biggest challenge was fitting the bike pedals around the spare tire on the trailer. If I was just using the rack on my truck, it would have taken 5 minutes. Rick

The quality of the wheels are very good and easy to maneuver, they can hold the weight, only my 20 pound cat will not fit in it, it is a kind of small inside, I keep it for my smaller cat with 12 pounds. I only use the carrier to go to the Veterinary, I would not recommend to go traveling with it, only if you have a cat with 6 pounds, so it will have enough room inside.

Don't know the exact size of your recubent bike. But I have different sized full suspension bicycles and it adjusts to fit them all. I would say yes it would accomodate a recumbent bicycle. You may have to do some adjusting and rearrangingig of the racks. I don't want to steer you wrong but some of the recumbent bikes are really low and extended really long. I have a Full Suspension MTB That the main tube is really low at the support post and the wheelbases is really extended not as extreme as the most extreme recumbent bike. If time isn't of the essence you can always send it back if it doesn't work to your liking. The video should give you a good idea if it'll work.

I am not sure what the weight limit us. However I have 2 cat one is 15 lbs and then other 10 lbs although they ride separate the carriers are roomy for both to fix comfortable

Don't think the weight would be an issue as the carrier is quite sturdy; but the frame upon which it is mounted. And the lug pattern - mine was a 6 lug, 15" wheel and did not fit.

I couldn't tell you if you bike will fit on the carrier. I can tell you that my bike is 62cm bike and the wheels on the ground are approximately 42 inches apart where the wheel touches the ground and this carrier handles my bike just fine. I too have 700c tires but not the mountain bike variety. I do think there is enough adjustment in the wheel receiver that your wheel will set in them just fine. I have a couple of bike carriers and use this one the most because the bike rest on the wheels and tires rather than hangs from the frame--and when purchased was really reasonably priced. I'm sure if you get one you will like it as well....Good Luck! I couldn't tell you if you bike will fit on the carrier.

Hi Bryan - the rack is about 49 lbs. assembled. You do not need to install both carriers, but the main assembly, because it was designed to be so strong is the heaviest part. Thanks!

Yes, you can fit 2 boards on it. I have a 11,6" and other 9,5", always together on wheels... Enjoy!!!

Yes - the legs are wider than the seat. I didn't measure either the seat or the wheel spacing but visually, as I looked down on the seat and swiveled it, I could see the ends of the legs with an estimated range from 2" - 4" beyond the seat. I'm sure you must be concerned about stability - the use of 5 legs is also a benefit toward stability. I have had no problems using mine and I am not exactly a lightweight!

Up to 22 #'s judith; my pet came under the weight limit, but he was too long for the carrier; it is a really good carrier though; sturdy and well made. / kimmie

The product description says it will handle up to 15 lbs. I LOVE this carrier.

It is large with its 17" frame and 28" wheels but light enough to lift and carry up and down stairs. The major difficulty with lifting it is not the weight but that the front wheel turns sideways under its own weight and handlebars get in the way (poke my arm or side) when moving it someplace once the front wheel is lifted off the ground.
