More Updates On "me Barrer"

Here you go Tone...

 

 

That is the original 15 year old two wheller..

 

 

This is the little attachment I made a few weeks ago.

 

 

This is with motor attached....the base is removed while working on it.

 

 

Without the motor (three wheels) it sails along with 15 stone on it, but the little motor did half the work. Motor was a wiper motor, about 40 watts.

 

I have since bought a 140 watt motor and controller and it now "goes like a bomb" and I simply stroll along beside it, with just an occasional nudge to steer it...........

 

It does "freewheel" so if the motor/battery/my welding or whatever, packs up I won't be stranded.

 

Grandson and I played "Thomas the tank engine" on it
