I ride a FOLDING RECUMBENT TADPOLE TRIKE. It is a Greenspeed Magnum XL and is made for the heavier rider. I love it, but it weighs 44 lbs. which is about 16 lbs. heavier than the average recumbent trike. It will hold a rider up to 475 lbs. Test ride some other models.
The gaps in your rack looks like a potentially good feature for the wheels of a recumbent trike to drop down into. The rear wheel is centered and the two front wheels are of a standard width although the Greenspeed Magnum XL and the HP Velotechnik SCORPION PLUS are a bit wider. With cross bars put at a short distance, the wheels will drop down only a short desired distance. These trikes fold, but with your system, all we would have to do is remove the removable seat. Also, a second shelf level could be easily engineered into your design with pivoting tube bars that would lock in place. My Greenspeed Magnum XL is heavier than the rest of most recumbent trikes. It is 44 lbs. and the others are appreciably lighter. There is so much exciting design work that can be done around making a rack that is of a highly adaptable universal design to safely and conveniently transport bikes, upright delta trikes, and recumbent tadpole trikes. It must be light in weight and super flexible for different configurations.
My inside to inside length is 64 1/2 , and center to center is 66 1/2 . Will this work for me ? I called e trailer and they couldn't say yes or no. 2021 jayco jayflight SLX
Study all recumbent trikes and get a sense of what you will be dealing with. Many recumbent trikes do not fold so your system would be all the more useful for them to be stored in transit.
That seems like a great use of the carrier. Recumbent bike carriers aren't all that common and finding them rated for the back of a trailer is even harder.
@@etrailer Do your homework because many seniors are discovering the joy of riding recumbent trikes. Many would still love to ride upright bikes, but they can't due to balance, strength, and reaction time issues. But that leaves them with the dilemma of transporting them from point A to point B. Your rack system is the closest one I've seen that would solve that problem and could be used for other tasks as well. Aluminum tubing would be lighter. They just had the Recumbent bike and trike convention in Nashville and will hold it in Dayton, Ohio next year. If you could develop something that would work real conveniently for trikes, you would garner a lot of customers. Building an all purpose universal design for bikes, trikes, and other things would be a great seller. A great flexible and adaptable design would really sell. Streets are too dangerous to ride on anymore even with bike lanes. The new trend is to transport bikes and trikes to the beginning of a safe trail where no vehicles will be encountered. Check out the Laidback Bike Report and the videos where they cover the different vendor booths regarding recumbent bikes and trikes at the previous Recumbent Cycle-Con Trade Show Conventions. The one next year will be in Dayton, Ohio. Get yourself to a good recumbent bike and trike dealer who has models you can measure for and talk to the people there about the inherent problem transporting them on regular vehicles and on RV's.
The Lippert # LC243621 isn't RV specific. In order to attach the rack to the bumper support arms, you'll also need the # LC373965 bracket kit. www.etrailer.com/RV-and-Camper-Bike-Racks/Lippert/LC243621.html www.etrailer.com/Accessories-and-Parts/Lippert/LC373965.html
You will not need to weld anything to the bumper. There is a bolt bracket kit to get this rack installed. www.etrailer.com/Accessories-and-Parts/Lippert-Components/LC373965.html
how much space do you need between rear of the trailer and the bumper to mount the thing... my bumper is closer to the back of my trailer than this and there is not way to adjust it...
You will need to have at least 4 inches of space on your frame rail coming out from under the end of the camper. This is to weld the bracket to it. If you would prefer to go with a bolt on kit, check out the 24x84 etrailer Cargo Carrier for RV Bumpers in the following link. www.etrailer.com/RV-Cargo-Carrier/etrailer/e96ZR.html
If you want to use this cargo rack you will have to mount your spare tire in a different location. You can use the Lippert Components Spare Tire Winch with Offset Cable to mount your spare tire up and under you trailer. www.etrailer.com/RV-Cargo/Lippert-Components/LC243621.html www.etrailer.com/RV-Cargo/Lippert-Components/LC159056.html
This will not work with a spare tire or ladder if you are wanting to fold it up to the rear of the vehicle. Most people who have the same situation that you are in will just leave the rack down all the time because they are using it all the time. www.etrailer.com/Accessories-and-Parts/Lippert/LC373965.html www.etrailer.com/RV-and-Camper-Bike-Racks/Lippert/LC243621.html www.etrailer.com/Spare-Tire-Carrier/Lippert/LC159056.html
This kit is designed to fit a tube frame. You will have to do some fabricating in order to get the brackets to fit. Many will just weld the brackets on to make it easier to install. www.etrailer.com/RV-and-Camper-Bike-Racks/Lippert/LC243621.html www.etrailer.com/Accessories-and-Parts/Lippert/LC373965.html
It is not recommended because the corner of the carrier could make contact with the vehicle when making sharp turns. You can still have this installed on the RV for those trips that you don't take your car with you. www.etrailer.com/RV-Cargo/Lippert-Components/LC243621.html

Any similar systems for Rv’s with spare tire and ladder in rear?
This will not work with a spare tire or ladder if you are wanting to fold it up to the rear of the vehicle. Most people who have the same situation that you are in will just leave the rack down all the time because they are using it all the time.

Can you use this rack in conjunction with a blue ox flat tow?

Could it hold an ATV?
The rack itself is rated for 250 lbs.
