(ET) Electric Wheelbarrow

[JimLuckett aol com]

I built an electric wheelbarrow using battery, motor and controller from a Currie electric bike I bought on e-bay.   It works great for hauling gear up and down the footpath to my cabin in the woods.  Lots of low-end torque that makes even the steep parts a breeze, even with a heavy load.

I wonder if I could sell the idea as a do-it-yourself project to a D-I-Y type magazine (e.g, Popular Science or Popular Mechanics)?
