Some students of Takoradi Technical University have unveiled a motorized wheelbarrow as part of their project work, designed to eliminate the need for manual effort when pushing heavy loads.
Powered by a mechanical motor, the wheelbarrow moves on its own, providing an innovative solution for transporting materials on worksites and farms. A video demonstrating the invention was shared online, quickly drawing attention and mixed reactions from netizens.
While many praised the effort and ingenuity of the students, others questioned the practicality and significance of the project.

A commenter noted, “Good job, but would this really be useful on a building site or farm?” Meanwhile, another critic argued, “A whole technical university celebrating this? The bar is far below.”
The project has sparked debates about the standards of innovation in Ghana, with some defending the students’ work as a step towards improving local solutions, while others suggested the need for more advanced developments.
Nonetheless, the motorized wheelbarrow showcases the creativity and technical skills of young Ghanaian engineers.
Netizens commented:
