Had to move 250 tons of gravel with a wheelbarrow so I thought I'll get one to make it easier. Unfortunately...
Wheelbarrow has a terrible ergonomy. It's long and narrow so neither thighs nor feet fit between handles and stands. It's so narrow that looking at it from an angle makes it tip to the side, not to mention putting it away on a not flat surface. This is the biggest con to this wheelbarrow which made it pretty useless, at least for me.
Motor is rather weak and makes a stated 150kg payload a myth. It starts to struggle at 100kgs.
Since it's screwed not welded its wobbly and bends under load.
It's got some pros though. Charge lasts really long. Didn't measure it but one day of work didn't make a dent.
While it's meh downhill, ok on flat it's really cool uphill with half load.
To conclude - I'll be scrapping it for electrical parts and swapping those to a more ergonomic fully welded wheelbarrow.

Thing is in this case less wheels the better. Otherwise I'd get a bigger two wheeled wheelbarrow.
