I used it on my motorcycle and worked well. Holds well on any edged surface

As long as you don't try to bend it much it works well, my opinion is that it would be 'iffy' for wheel wells. Your mileage may vary.

I have not tried it on a bike, but, I would think it should work, presta valve and all. I do know it takes a long time on car tires but, it eventually gets the job done. Sorry I couldn't be more help,

I definitely would not mount the rear wheel. I assume you have a shaft drive and an auto trans. It's a bitch to stabilize the handlebars when they're in the front much less the back. Plus the wheel mount is about 1 & 1/2 feet back from the bumper so the tongue weight is greatly exaggerated because of the distance... kind of like a see-saw effect. I say definitely don't do it!!!

What is the distance between your wheel wells, I wouldn't try to force it in between if they are narrower than the bed. They make a smaller size too you may want to check out.

Yes, did it on my 2011 and 2013 trike. Plug and play, very good qualty package with lots of extras such as no more ambient air temp gauge, instead has oil temp gauge.

I read a couple of other reviews of this product complaining about problems inserting the wheels into the holes. I didn't have a problem with it. My advice is to try again. You must be doing something wrong.

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

You would definitely not want to try and use the rear wheel version on a trike. The front wheel version might work OK on relatively flat roads, but so much of a trike's weight is on the back wheels that I doubt it would be satisfactory while trying to go up much of a hill.

Seems to work fine to me. I have setup on gravel and dirt. I could potentially see it possibly slipping in really wet conditions etc, but hasn't happened to me yet.

I haven't mounted rear tires yet. Front ones were a pain, but certainly doable. I suppose I've been dreading the job, but it really shouldn't be to bad. Try some Dawn liquid soap for a lubricant.(not to much)

I use mine for a triathlon bike, it works well and when i drive i don't see either wheel out of both of my side mirrors. Now a tandem bike it long from what i know of them, the bike tires might hang over the sides of the car and my be a hazard to while driving or the over hanging tires might hit something and hurt the bike tires. That is just my two cents on it but its a wonderful well made bike rack that is worth every penny...!!!

You need somewhere to screw it to and I don't think there is anywhere to do that on a trike. It basically needs one hole through the frame somewhere. You could probably drill a hole through that bar under the seat where it is slanted. It would probably work.

Hello. I just checked the mounting location on my trike, but it is on a modified bracket. However, if I remember correctly the fenders mounts are set up for an eyelet just above the axle. The mounts are a heavy chrome type that mount on the inside of the of wheel only. Smiles, Marc.

Did you ever spray this on your sons plastic wheels? This is what I was looking at it for and was wondering what your results were if you did spray it.

I'm sorry, our grandson has outgrown this trike and we sold it. You should contact Kettrike; as I remember, they were helpful with questions we had! Good luck, I hope it works out 'cuz this is a wonderful trike!!!!

It should Fred. I attached mine to the floor of a 4 1/2 X 8 ft utility trailer. If you can drill thru the floor of your trailer it should mount just fine. The trick is setting the pivot bracket for your front tire. But if your trike has reverse gear that won't be a problem.

I used this on our Fifth Wheel. I did every seam and it worked great. I think it will do fine, just know that once it touches the surface, it doesn't come back up.
