Electric Wheelbarrow would take up similar trail to a wagon. |

Actually, the wheelbarrow works well on single track. The photo I posted was at the top of 2-mile single track. The only problem getting it there was the up, up, up part. An e-wheel would make that a lot easier. The single wheel tracks the trail well and it isn’t too wide. But it did require modification so the front brace doesn’t dig into the ground; particularly when going uphill. I removed the front brace, relocated the wheel as far forward as possible, and relocated the brace behind the wheel. Issue solved. Hmmm … this might be just the ticket to get decoys from here to there: https://www.amazon.com/VEVOR-Electric-Wheelbarrow-Powered-Capacity/dp/B0DJ79K41M/ref=asc_df_B0DJ79K41M?tag=bingshoppinga-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=80333260890033&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=111581&hvtargid=pla-4583932728646275&msclkid=643a051e0a501de5ccf76de6f6134d64&th=1 |

They packed in multiple miles, had a fresh battery on the way in and a fresh battery on the way out. Having a small fish scale is a must to keep the load balanced. Having a brake system really helped navigate downhill. Apparently it is legal on NF trails as it is considered non-motorized. Western Washington subalpine. |
