Electric Cart or Trolley to move equipment around?

Are there any electric carts around, that is similar to like a shopping cart or a electric golf buggy?

As I mainly do one man projects, I find it a struggle having a backpack and then carrying tripods or light stands in their bags. I have used a shopping cart before to roll the stands around, but it can be a struggle at times.

I was considering going DIY and breaking apart an electric scooter or electric skateboard and modifying it to have a shopping trolley cart on top but I do not need the speed, but just the torque to help me walk with it.

Are there any actual products out there that is not thousands of dollars and meets the purpose?
 
Perhaps I misunderstand but whats wrong with the ubiquitous Rock n Roller or magliner carts? Not electric but you can stack things and even buy hooks or bags for the handles to put tripods etc. in.
 
Lots of people have wanted “motorized”/powered Rock ‘N Rollers(or other carts) at times, including myself, but still haven’t seen anyone that has built one or at least a ready-made, off-the-shelf version.

I wonder how well this laundry cart holding weight of tripods and various Cstands?
I might get 1 to transport my gears too.

I forget what size I have but its fairly large. Just clears my cargo area in my Tahoe. I can put a lot in it. 8 c stands on top.
 
Thank you all for the replies!

I find those long carts where you lay the tripods and stands flat rattle and vibrates too much and not very good on different types of terrain.

I have used those long carts before to move things on the street and footpath and they just rattle so much and cumbersome to use.

The shopping cart is not bad, as you can strap it onto the handles and the bottom is usually soft so it cushions a bit of the impact from rolling it around. I would like something, that I can take to the park for example where the terrain can be a mixture of road, footpath, dirt, gravel, etc.
 
Makita makes a couple of versions of a wheelbarrow that is battery powered and can handle 250 pounds. They run off a couple of 18 volt batteries and will get you a mile on a charge.
