Recumbent Trike Tow Cart February 21, 2022, 06:06:22 pm I purchased a recumbent trike and am now faced with finding a tow hitch cart/ramp that will work with my 2005 mid-bath LD. I was looking for something with a ramp, preferably. It's 73" long; 30" wide. Anyone have something that works for them? I'm thinking I might end up visiting a steel fabricator, but there must be an easier answer than starting from scratch??! Thank you for any suggestions.

A custom rack would be an interesting fabrication project.If you tow or plan to, that needs to be taken into consideration.Most recumbent owners I know carry them in their toads.Larry

Hollywood bike racks makes a really nice recumbent bike rack that was moderately priced and we have used behind our Lazy Daze for years. We also carry them inside a trailer when we bring a motorcycle. Laid Back Cycles has recommendations for racks for recumbent tadpoles. I called them and they have several recommendations racks to carry recumbent tadpoles.Laid Back Cycles - The Largest Center for Recumbent TrikesSeveral of my bicycle friends have gone to tadpoles and really like them.

Brought it to carry a recumbent bike along with other bikes (up to 4 total). A friend recently purchased a new Hollywood rack to carry her bike along with her husband’s trike (to allow him to keep riding with his Parkinson's disease). Mine does not have a ramp. Not sure if they make ramps with the newer ones. JohnF 2 Likes
