As Gerry suggested. Look at the Global Angling kit. I have fitted it to my Mk2 Fatboy and it is awesome.

How are you finding the tyres,I wanted a puncture proof version but they unfortunately don't do one.They have offered me some rear wheels for my explorer deluxe that are puncture proof so will be getting them.I really like the look of the kit but i dont know if i can go back to a normal tyre

I slime mine and never have an issue. I've tried the solid tyres in the past but I leave my barrow loaded and after a couple of weeks in the garage they developed a flat spot! Slime works a treat.

I also converted my barrow using a kit from China over a year ago now, I fabbed up a wheel carrier to fit and touch wood, I've never had a problem with it and it works a treat. I used the 250kw kit and have 2 x 10mAh batteries which is perfect. I've never run out of juice and only a fully loaded barrow up a steep hill needs some help.

I don't need it but it does make the push much more pleasant and I never get that feeling of dread for the push back to the car from the furthest swim when its raining any more! I think it cost me about £220 all in. As said below, the facebook group is full of good information.

The economics of this are quite interesting. You can spend the best part of £1000 on a Nash or Carp Porter powered version or just buy a normal Carp Porter and a Global Enterprise conversion kit and save yourself a couple of hundred quid.

If you mean the global angling one then yes i have bought one and fitted it to my nash trax barrow the website page works for me.
I did phone up to order mine as my forks being the older nash barrow were different, apologies if its not global you are asking about
