Why is there no information on the battery type and capacity. These are important factors to consider

I found this odd. The last ones were 24v lead acid, I assume these are also the same.

You can be sure if they were different they would be selling the absolute shi* out of it being the latest, best tech on a barrow ever...

Converision kit turned up yesterday afternoon so starting to assemble it. I had a puncture proof front wheel so have ordered another one so i can replace the 2 rears.

I have seen the price the shop has to pay for these barrows,the shop themselves dont make much at all and I mean next to nothing.

Ok, job done! Pretty straight forward as well. Fiddly bit was getting the old square handlebar out but a hefty thwack with my large mallet did the trick. You need to drill out the rivet on one of the old grips as well. The new round bar is quite loose so you have to drill through and use a self drilling screw to secure it in place. Secure the cables in place with velcro straps and cable ties. My rear tyres are now both puncture proof so no more going flat!

All in all, she's looking rather tasty and thinking of calling her either Blue Thunder or Greased Lightnin'.

They've just dropped a video on YouTube outlining the new range


They are lead acid battery powered barrows.
