Pontoon wheel
#5
Some years back I used a cart based on the ball barrow type of arrangement with my pontoon: http://toolmonger.com/2009/04/30/the-nub...ncarnated/

I used a smaller dock wheel which was more readily available and much lower cost at the time: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000MUV...P7XAC1PJCE

Anyway, it was much more stable than a thin single wheel and could be used in narrow footpaths. The two ends of the pontoon served as the wheelbarrow handles. Lighter than any 2 wheel design I could come up with. It could be flipped down for transport and up for storage behind the seat or disconnected by removing a hitch pin in a few seconds.

I have switched over to the lightweight "V" tubes now which weigh just a little more than the wheel assembly alone and can be easily transported on your back.....
