Help with hills, even loaded
Designed and assembled in NZ since 1975, the Greens Wheelbarrows range now includes the 90 litre E-barrow barrow, which has a 48V Lithium-ion battery powering a 500W motor in the hub. Based on the Tradesman wheelbarrow, the thumb throttle sends the E-Barrow up steep hills and down tricky inclines, even when fully loaded (160 kg max), thanks to its fully sealed motorised hub.The 48V 10 A Li-Ion battery can be charged in place, or removed for charging off-site, and can last several days on a single charge, partly thanks to E-Barrow’s regenerative braking feature, which recharges the battery when travelling downhill on the brake.
