: Carrying one “delta” style or adult trike

Follow the same installation procedure on page 7 for tadpole style trikes, except have 

the center mast on the bike rack in a vertical position.  Use either the standard or “Z” 
style hook to clamp down on the frame depending on frame height. Please follow 
frame clamping procedure as described in section 4, page 4.

Special notes for carrying adult bikes

Due to awkward weight distribution and short 
wheel base for adult trikes, the distance
between the long connector and center of 
rack should be very small (as small as 
possible).  This will allow the heaviest part of 
the rack to be as close to the base assembly 
as possible. The trike will probably not be
Centered behind the car, so check to make 
sure the front wheel is not protruding beyond 
the side view mirror.
