How much weight approx does it add ?
I've Mk2 fatboy
I normally leave my barrow bag loaded (old type that stays fixed with clips etc) and just remove handles and lift in car to save disassembling it all
Cheers

Yes the global one is 350w i thought the nash one was only 150w could be wrong on that though, i put a global conversion on my old nash trax barrow.
I haven't owned a prestige power porter but have owned 3 other carp porters orignal, mk2 and mk4 i thought my nash barrow was stronger and better built than any of my carp orters which is why i converted that one, i dont know what the newer nash barrows are made like

Very minimal, battery and control unit I'd be surprised if they weigh a kilo.. wheel is probably twice as heavy as your usual carp porter wheel but your not ever going to lift it other than putting it in the van. I just popped the batter and controller in a Korda compac waterproof tackle bag thing and dumped the lot in my barrow bag with the usual bits that live in there

Used my Power Porter 2022 24V POWER PORTER MK8 all terrain for the first time yesterday. It has 3 wheels, the back 2 are not the chunky ones.
I absolutely love it. Folds away nicely and powerful even on slopes. The controls are really good.
I'd never go back to a normal barrow.

Ive had power porters for a while now and I genuinely think once you have used one you wont go back, I also think the conversions that are now available are great and its good to see that there are more options available nowdays.
In regards to the original question PP or Nash power
Ive had Carp porter Mk5 and upgraded to a mk7 24v in more recent times and both were great and performed admirably (I have a caddy and just drive it on and off the van) so it stayed assembled and the only issue I had was with the older style controil unit burning out which prestige replaced with the newer one and punctures on the rear wjheels - I brough the puncture proof versions which are a great addition
Ive also got a nash metro barrow that I picked up before xmas - Its performed admirably but I dont think its fair to compare to the Prestige versions (its basically a porterlite with power from Nash) Ultimately the metro is a streamline barrow for short sessions or people who dont take loads with them - it doesnt have sides or a Y bar - but for what its meant to do its been great!!!
I found if I took the prestige id take more kit if I take the Nash I take what I needs
The positioning of the battery on the nash is definitely better over the wheel and out of the way, the under bags on the nash are better and more useable than the ones on my prestige BUT I think the wiring and connection points are miles better on the prestige - what I mean by that is connecting/disconnecting the wires to remove the handles as an example feels very delicate on the nash whereby the prestige was pretty solid and I worry that I will damage the pins on the nash
Additionally the charger that you get on the nash one feels cheap and isnt very clear on how to use it where as the prestige version is
Also the Nash doesnt have a reverse option the Prestige does
The Nash does have a 2 year warranty with it so thats re assuring but in summary I wouldnt compare them as like for like comparisons in my opinion
Just to add I've got a power Porter extreme on order as well so in essence if I only had to have one it would be the prestige of the two no question

Fair enough, I've had a set of aluminium posts machined and bolted to the instead of mine. I did get a spare pair of folks so I can have the barrow powers or Manual dependant on the water I'm fishing.

Got the prestige mate has the Nash which seems more fiddly and crappy .It's not a question of what I have is best because I would simply buy the Nash one if it was better but it simply isn't

Just fitted the global anglings kit to my big boy triporter and extremely impressed. Easy to fit and very strong. No more huffing and puffing from me anymore at the bank

I think that's an excellent summary / comparison - never used a powerporter but probably would if I had a van that I could ramp onto and fished longer sessions requiring more kit/bait etc.
I do however have a Nash Metro - a slightly bigger porterlite with power is a great description (being a previous porterlite user) and for me its perfect for the max 48hr sessions I do on average (20acre max) sized lakes. . .(read my review in the reviews section)

I did on my mk2 or 3 prestige Porter. Over 10 years
Only ever pumped it up once since I got it.
