Abstract

A system for converting an existing hand push wheelbarrow to a powered wheelbarrow by way of a single unit kit that comprises a motorized wheel, a battery, and all other necessary electrical components. The system includes wheel brackets with mounting holes sized to fit most standard wheelbarrows, so that the original passive wheel can be easily removed, and the Kit installed using the same mounting hardware. The larger of the two mounting brackets supports the component case with the battery and the motor controller, and acts as the heat sink for all the heat generating electronics within the case. This enables the entire system to be sealed and waterproof. The Kit is intended to be used in situations where heavy loads need to be transported by wheelbarrow over bumpy ground or up inclines, and motorized assistance to propel the wheelbarrow may be needed.
