    This is the exact thought that I had... I spent many hours hauling concrete with a wheelbarrow, and would have loved a little help. Of course, 3 wheels would make maneuvering difficult on the 2x6 planks that were generally used to keep the wheelbarrow out of the mud.

    I have only seen them with gasoline engines, they're very popular with concrete installers..........Rod.

    When I was a kid my brothers and I made a go-cart with an old washing machine motor. One could drive all the rest had to wrangle the cord.

    I think I'll stick with my "manual" version of a wheelbarrow.
    I might need to replace mine. It doesn't seem to want to carry as much any longer.

    Bi lateral knee replacement in 2013. Not supposed to pick up more than 50#, nor stand (as in line) for more than 15 minutes.

    There's been a few times wheeling concrete around that one of those would've been welcome!

    So if its 240 it's a cabinet wheelbarrow, but if its 120 it's a hybrid wheelbarrow?
    Stand for something, or you'll fall for anything.
