So have been offered one of these by a local.guy who's retiring, seems pretty much mint and he only wants £250 for it...any feedback from you guys appreciated as have no clue what's what with these barrows, seems a bargain to me ???
Oh and he has extras to apparently side bags etc .??...

I'm no expert on these but I thought the mk6 onwards were 24v.

Guess what lads, he sold,it to me for 160 quid, couldn't believe it, it's mint to and he had all the extras and has had the puncture proof Tyres put on also.....does anyone know a way to charge it on the bank , I'm thinking solar panels maybe, but the connections are a bit off key,lol....
And yes it's 24v , he got it wrong .....
Also seen these , seem good for the price and have ok reviews, any thoughts ???

I have the mk6, 24v 2017 model, and you've bagged a propper bargain there.
Best bit of back saving kit I've ever used. As regards the on bank charging, my battery lasts about 4 hours of constant use so I can't see why you'd need mobile charging? There aren't any options that I'm aware of doing this since it plugs into a 240v supply, but I dare say some smart alec might have developed a solar option.
However you could just buy another battery pack and take that pre-charged with you. That would probably be my approach rather than faff about with anything else.
Post edit:
You do know ofcourse that you can put it into 'free wheel' mode if your battery does die and then push the bugger like any ordinary barrow?

Don't over tighten the clamping points. I've had to reinforce all mine after the previous owner had crushed the box section.

It'll carry a shed load mate. I'm out currently and it's just hauled about 100kg of gear to my swim in 3 trips. Imagine trying to walk all that sh*t - Pack it up!

3 trips ???, Christ what you taking the kitchen sink, lol....thought I was bad ....cheers for that , good to know ... I do take a lot of kit but ideally want to do it in one trip, I'll have to have a weigh up of all my main bits , bed, chair , full bait buckets etc I guess and see what it roughly totals ....

On a reasonably long session I will take a mobile kitchen, toilet/shower block, fridge, tv etc. All made possible by that little 24v beauty. Can't beat the old creature comforts 😂😂😂😂
