I wouldn't even be contemplating getting a power barrow if it wasn't for issues I have with my back. The price of these things is already ridiculous but there's not a chance in hell I'm parting with £1800
I'm left with either the solar one and get new back wheels (heard to many bad reports.on the nash and fox ones)
Or alternatively get a normal barrow and buy a conversion kit
What's the best out of those two options?

No reply from carp porter when I asked about the price and they usually respond within a day or two.
Guess that can only mean the barrow is actually the stupid price of £1800. With that precedent set, this will mean one. When solar nash fox release a new version of their barrows the price will be similar to carp porter.

I have just forked out £625 for a UK barrow conversion for my Tri-porter. Because of my COPD, i needed to stop at least 6 times on the way to my swim this weekend.

Not good mate, be careful out there
The father in-law has COPD and was rushed into hospital Saturday night, Sunday tested positive for covid...today his wife also tested positive, she's due her 3rd dose of chemo next week from a 6 dose course 
These barrows made me look at second hand quads and trailers the other day, worked out cheaper

I note Gerry's have now removed the page listing the new power porters, from their website.

Yeh, been putting it off for too long now and my mate pushing his barrow with one finger convinced me to buy the upgrade this morning!

Thats my favourite thing about it. Watching my mate struggle like mad pushing his barrow and me cruising past him with one hand on the handlebar and the other giving him the middle finger

It's all just a ploy, create mega expensive barrows that make you carry (buy) more and more stuff!

When you tot up what may be on the rod pod the barrow's a poorer theft option
