Has anyone got one of these barrows ?

Any honest review would be very helpful

Thanks

I've got the BCUK barrow conversion for my Nash Trax Evo, after months of comparing 2 of the bigger companies BCUK came out on top.

I've had no problems with the conversion and it performs very well, BUT and a BIG BUT If I was buying again I wouldn't give them my money, very unprofessional on how there taking money and making people wait 7+ months whilst still doing shows taking new customers, even Global have started doing the same.

I'd buy one from Ali Express/Amazon and do it myself and probably save yourself £200.
There's plenty of videos on YouTube explaining how to do it.

I have the global conversion for my tri-porter and it is excellent I know they are slightly more expensive than the BCUK one but it arrived after only 2 weeks of ordering. Really easy to fit and seems to be good quality. Had it about 6 months now and no issues.

Global angling products all the way easy to fit and quality.

Oh

I was expecting everyone to say that they are excellent, with there lifetime warranty etc .


I'm swaying then to a carp porter mk8 as I don't own a borrow at all .

Just look at the wattage on the ready made barrows, many are only 150W where the conversions are 350W

Has anyone purchased one of these from AliExpress ?

I would get one from there and do it myself 👍

Steer well clear of BCUK. Hear loads of horror storys -sound like a real joke company.

The Ali kits are cheap if you know what your doing. They are not straight forward -you have to know what your doing wiring -loads of people use the groups on fb to get instructions and you may need to convert your forks.

I dont have a sausage assembling stuff so buy one if its your first barrow.

Just (last night) ordered a 24v 350w generic kit from Amazon. 235 pounds quids with thumb throttle. Dely is allegedly tomorrow.
I'll post further details when I've fitted the thing. Battery and charger were a further £170. It's all hopefully going on a carp porter barrow.
Cheers

Before parting with your money I STRONGLY suggest asking if the item is in stock (in writing) from either BCUK or Global. I'd also take their listings on Ebay with a HUGE pinch of salt.

If on the other your happy to wait, and by wait I mean without any updates or inclination of whats going on, no, or hit and miss replies to e-mails or calls, and the repetition of the same reason for delay then you'll be fine, like

Being told its going to powder coat on Fri and it'll be with you by the end of next week. Then the following Fri chasing up to be told its going to powder coat, me saying thats what you were told the week before...and the reply...I dont lie!

Naturally that's just my experience.

Being a sparky I shouldn't really have any problems with the wiring side 👍

I converted my Fox explorer over the winter with a wheel from AliExpress... really not that difficult - main issue is if you have to adjust the forks, depending on which barrow you have....

Just buy Gash or Pox and be done with it. . . I've had my Trax Power Metro for almost three years now and its solid . . . still on the same lead acid batteries as well (dont fish winters so may explain why) - its also not a racing car; 150W is perfectly adequate for most loads and the majority of UK waters . . .
