Is long wait for BCUK Barrows or the self fit kits also ?
Looking to buy the self fit kits for my existing barriw or am better buying the cheapest Nash power porter which I have seen 570 with the rear wheels compared to self fit for 419 and use my own lithium battery?

I think the nash wheels are lower rated power wise so won't give as good performance.
I didn't fancy the BCUK wait times and started a conversation with Global which they then went radio silence on.... Decided with a black Friday voucher to go down the Alibaba import route to convert my Fox Explorer, not quite up and running yet but when finished I'll have a superior set up for less money with the added bonus that with some understanding of how it works I should be able to troubleshoot and fix any issues down the line. I would encourage anyone to look into it via the FB group, depending on which barrow you have (if the forks need adjusting) it really is pretty straightforward
Also, if it is rear wheels you are interested in, look up barrow buddies on FB.... not gone down this route myself but looks like a decent option

I recently got the GAP conversion for my triporter. They said there was a delay of up to 8 weeks on delivery but it turned up after only 2. Really pleased with the conversion and very easy to fit. I know GAP are more expensive than other companies but do you really want to wait 3-4 months for something?

Both these company's are a joke

Not really bothered with rear wheels just see Nash cheaper model with them for 40 extra. I have Nash trax micro mk1 so conversion from either company is 430 using my own battery or 570 for a whole new Nash power porter.

I wish I have read the reviews of Bcuk before I placed an order for one of there barrow conversion kits. I'm 18 weeks in now with no contract for them but I have ring them on a number of occasions and I've just send them an email.
And when I receive it I will never buy from them again.

I would say what's their excuse this time, but you'll probably never find out as they won't contact you
Sorry, couldn't resist, feel for you and those being treated like this :-(
Wierd thing for me pre sale comms were very good, guess it's the old saying, once they've got your money.

Feel sorry for you mate after parting with your hard earned, i know a few guys in the same boat that have been waiting for months and months. Getting called keyboard warriors because they have sent umpteen e-mails asking where their gear is (that they have paid upfront for) and demanding an update which is never replied to apart from insults.
The company is a joke run by a mug that is a complete bull**** merchant. Absolute piss take that anglers have paid money, been lied to on waiting times and zero replies when asking if your kit will be here in the next decade.
My advice would be to try and get a refund and go with another firm.

Two of my mates have been waiting an eternity, with no Comms.
I want to upgrade myself, but reading all the horror stories won't touch them with a barge pole. Don't know who else to go with though.

Ordered one in December and received in May , was aware of the long wait time as I ordered it, agree about the comms they could keep you in the loop a bit more but they do put updates on Facebook. More than happy with the end product tho, it's a cracking bit of kit

Shame if you don't use FB!
If a company I was buying off mentioned on their order page to keep a eye on FB as the only means of comms I wouldn't place the order.
