Transport your Tadpole Recumbent, D Trike, or Handcycle with Ease
The Easy Load Tray uses the transporting Vehicle’s 2” receiver hitch. It lays out flat to load your trike or handcycle from either side with two ramps. Three ramps are available if desired. There are two wheel chocks on the outside wheel trays and tie down straps on all three wheel trays. It folds vertically when unloaded therefore it is not required to remove the Tray when the trike or handcycle is not loaded.
Carries one tadpole trike, D trike, CatTrike 559, or handcycle outside the transporting vehicle.
Using a ramp to load your recumbent bike onto your car offers several advantages:
1. Ease of Loading: Ramps provide a gradual incline, making it easier to push or roll your recumbent bike onto the tray compared to lifting it directly. This reduces physical strain and the risk of injury during the loading process.
2. Protection of Bike and Car: Ramps typically have a smooth surface, which helps prevent scratches or damage to both your recumbent bike and your car during loading and unloading. This is especially important for expensive or delicate bikes and cars.
3. Independence and Convenience: With a ramp, you can load and unload your recumbent bike without requiring assistance from others. This is particularly advantageous if you frequently transport your bike alone or in a situation where help may not be readily available.

Note:

I made a few changes to the rack. One was that I change out the bolt that the rack pivots on from a grade 2 stainless steel 3/8" bolt to a 1/2" grade 8 case harden steel bolt. I just thought the 3/8" bolt was too soft. I also added a 1/8" washer to the rear wheels support to give me 32 1/4" space for my Trike. When putting my trike on the rack I found that was not necessary the 32" was fine but if you need that little extra that will do the trick. My trike fits perfectly, and I like the product very much. This rack gets a five star review.
Love the bike, rides fantastic. Purchasing this bike from All Around E-Bikes turned out to be one of the best purchases I’ve ever made on line. The description of the bike was spot on, FAST delivery, and the customer service could not have been better. I would recommend All Around for all your cycling needs
