To be fair Months and Months equates to 8 weeks so it's probably true.

Over 2 weeks since I emailed asking for an update on my order or a refund. No reply. Why on earth people try to defend these companies is beyond me.

I'm not defending them they told me 8 weeks and it arrived in 8 weeks facts! 🧐

Slightly off topic but the New Fox Barrows are 250W and have a much bigger front wheel than the Nash products . . .had a little test drive with the standard 24V Transporter Power at the weekend in a well known central tackle shop . . . .almost made an impulse purchase to test in the real world however . . . .
Must say even as the smaller of their two offerings its a LOT bigger and heavier than my Gash Power Metro - has some very good features and some really bad ones
The Good
Powerful 250W motor and large diameter front wheel
Forward and Reverse Power
Batteries can be powered externally without needing to take gear off barrow
Retractable front 'shelf' to strap a large carryall / buckets to
Large under bag can take 2x 17l buckets with ease
Supplied with bucket clamps & decent straps
External connection wires are chunky / easy to locate / have waterproof caps
The Bad
Its mahoosive / v heavy / and doesn't break down particularly easily
The multiple connecting thumbscrews are v small and could be lost / chew threads VERY easily
The extendable rod rest bar at the front has a 'lift and lock' connection when erecting / collapsing which is difficult to operate and could be a weakpoint over time (no thumbscrew locking)
The handles have a connecting cross bar that is attached with thumbscrews (rather than welded) - this is to aid stability (and presumably transport) but is actually superfluous and weak (it also needs careful aligning after you've removed the handles which is daft)
Bucket clamps don't work particularly well and its difficult to slide buckets in around the lip
The throttle control is a bit plasticy / weak (the one I tested rotated all the time)
The rear legs have mudfeet but are v short / fixed in length and do not extend - this makes the barrow and the lifting end when resting v low - not ideal for anyone over 6'
The rear legs are collapsed with a sprung pin (the only area where these exist) again which could become corroded / weak / difficult to release over time
The additional mesh panniers are a bit flimsy - ideal for loose clothing but thats about it
Really wanted to like this product - but didn't on balance with current Gash. Nice try Fox but no cigar - IMO they need to bring out a compact version with consistent fixtures and fittings . . . .

I have just had mine arrive, I've only managed to connect it to a battery so haven't fitted it fully yet, the tyre is on the wrong way :( it doesn't seem as fast as my Nash one, but when it's fully installed I'll try and get a review up

You can swap the direction of the motor by connecting a wire I believe. This comes up on the Facebook page all the time.

I'll have a look, I didn't realise there was a FB page, I stumbled across the wheel in a random Amazon add 😂

Yes I got mine in the end, put the Mrs onto them
The tall handles from bcuk have made Trakker Gravity* so much easier to use. I haven't used the wheels from Global yet but they look quality.

Just to add my old man ordered from bcuk about 4 months ago and he's had to get the bank to get the money back as theres no communication from them.
