Are you following Champion Trikes directions?
You have to bleed the rear brakes using the upper bleeders first, then do a one time bleed using the lower bleeder on each side?
It could be a couple of other things,
1) a leak
2) one if not both bleeder valves are bad and letting air in after bleeding the brakes
3) rear brakes not adjusted correctly?
4) Bad rear master cylinder
5) rear brake pistons not extending far enough to give a hard pedal
These would be the things I would be checking
