Do you need the extra resistance? That's all I can think of.
Rollers for a trike are much different than rollers for a bicycle. They are made to be used with only one wheel on the rollers. My wife has a tadpole style recumbent trike (two wheels up front, one in the rear) the rollers fit under the rear (drive) wheel. She has the Sport Crafters Overdrive model and when placed with the black roller forward, the resistance is set to minimal resistance but when placed with the red roller forward, the resistance increases as the speed increases.
