Hell, look at those prices for Barrows, never new they had got so expensive and I was thinking of buying a new one to replace my old aging carp porter that I bought years ago.

They are twice the price of the value of my Ford Fusion that I go fishing in and I do not even have to push it, yet.

Zack these are kits to convert your existing barrow to electric mate

A CARP PORTER POWER PORTER is £999 at Johnson Ross today

but if you have a decent carp porter already for less than HALF that you con convert your barrow in 15mins with this kit seems a good way to save £500 to me

I have the global conversion on my fox explorer with the modded front fork👍With wheels a mate made for back as well makes it so much easier.I went for the standard lipo battery which massively cuts down on the weight of the lead acids.Very good conversions and good customer service.

My Error, I only saw the "ENERGIZE UPGRADE KIT" and thought that was what your link was for, and all the prices under the barrow pictures was for the price of the barrow itself.

Or another way to save £500 is to not buy the kit and just keep pushing it.

Good idea! Can an 11 year old cope with a heavily laden barrow? Only one way to find out.....

regardless of age/health - I would suggest anyone who has used a power barrow wont ever revert back once theyve used one

PS why people get the hump about what others spend there money on is beyond me

I know, I was only teasing. Each to their own; I don't do enough exercise as it is, so perfectly happy to punish myself with the big heave ho on the barrow.
