Recumbent trikes are a great way to ride. They are comfortable, stable, and fun. You can ride them for exercise, fresh air, or just to enjoy the scenery. But sometimes you need to carry things with you, like groceries or gear. That's where a recumbent trike rack comes in handy.
Without a rack, carrying things on your trike can be tough. Bags can make you unbalanced, and it's hard to attach things to your trike securely. Unlike a 3-wheel bike rack, a recumbent trike rack is a safe and easy way to carry what you need. You can use it for groceries, work supplies, camping gear, or even your pet.
At Utah Trikes, we can help you find the right rack for your trike. We have many different racks from popular brands like Catrike and HP Velotechnik. We also offer great customer service, free assembly, and we can ship your rack anywhere in the country.
Start by checking that the rack fits your specific trike model. You can find this information in the product description or by contacting us at Utah Trikes. We're happy to help you find a rack that works perfectly with your Catrike, HP Velotechnik, or any other trike.
Next, think about what you want to carry. Do you need to transport heavy camping gear or just a few groceries? Each rack has a weight limit, so choose one that suits your needs. We offer both heavy-duty and lightweight options.
Finally, consider any special features that might be useful. Some racks adjust to fit different cargo sizes. Others have built-in fenders for rainy days. If you have a suspension trike, select a compatible rack.
Moreover, if you often fold your trike for storage, look for a rack that folds too. Make sure the rack comes with all the necessary mounting hardware for easy installation.
At Utah Trikes, we've organized our recumbent trikes into categories to make your search easier. We have the following:
We offer racks for popular trike brands. If you own a Catrike, check out the Utah Trikes Rack with Catrike Mounting Hardware. This adjustable rack fits many Catrike models, including the Villager, Trail, Expedition, and 700. It carries up to 65 pounds, perfect for groceries or gear.
We also have racks for HP Velotechnik trikes. These racks are custom-welded from aluminum for a perfect fit. They work with both rigid and suspension models. Take a look at the HP Velotechnik Scorpion recumbent trike rack or the HP Velotechnik Gekko Trike Rack.
For ICE trike owners, we offer racks that fit both rigid and suspension models. Some even have features like top bag adapters and battery mounts. The ICE 20in Recumbent Trike Rack or the ICE Suspension are popular choices.
If you need a rack that works with different trike brands, consider a universal option. The Utah Trikes Adjustable Aluminum Cargo Rack is a great choice. It adjusts to fit various trikes and comes with all the necessary hardware.
For carrying a lot of cargo, we have specialized racks like the Azub King Cargo Rack. This large, strong rack fits Azub Tricon and Ti-Fly trikes and has a high weight capacity. If you own an eQuad, the eQuad Rear Cargo Double Decker Rack is a great option. This unique rack has two levels for maximum cargo space and can even hold extra batteries.
You can enhance your recumbent trike rack with helpful accessories. Pannier bags attach to the sides of your rack and give you organized storage. They're great for longer rides or when you need to keep things separate. A basket is a handy addition for carrying smaller items or running quick errands.
Always secure your cargo properly. Use bungee cords or straps to hold everything in place. This prevents items from shifting and keeps you stable, especially on bumpy roads.
If you ride at night or in low-light conditions, add lights or reflectors to your rack. This increases your visibility and helps others see you. Distribute the weight evenly on your rack to keep your trike balanced and prevent it from tipping.
Taking care of your rack helps it last longer. Wipe it down after rides, especially in wet or muddy conditions. This helps prevent rust. Also, check your rack regularly for any loose bolts or damage.
If you’re looking for a versatile choice to transport your trike check out the Sunlite HRT-100 2in Trike Receiver Tray Rack. This hitch-mounted rack works with many trike styles and folds for easy storage.
Choosing the right rack for your trike is important. It makes your trike more useful and fun to ride. Think about what kind of trike you have and what you want to carry on it. Do you need a rack for groceries, or do you want to carry camping gear? We have many different racks to choose from.
We want you to enjoy riding your trike. A good recumbent trike rack helps you do that. Shop online to see all the racks we have. Get ready for more fun rides with your trike!
