I scored an aluminum 3-wheeled baby stroller with 20-inch tires a few years back.
I lost the 3rd wheel,flipped the unit,and added a hitch from a child's front wheel-less cycle mate which attaches behind the parent's bike to create a relatively light-weight 2-wheel trailer.
Adding a Sear's S-Car-Go,all-weather,rooftop storage case gave me a 'pickup-truck' when combined with my tricycle,something I've made the 6-mile one-way commute to Denton and back on a number of times.
She's heavy but a brute and can handle major shopping.
The guts and battery from a 24-VDC scooter may allow some 'assist' for the gentle hills.A future project.
This contraption has saved my bacon a few times when the T-100 decided to go south on me.
