What's the range on a fully charged battery? Global do a con version for the nash trax evo so mailed them to see if it fits the nash trax metro as well.

The standard battery supplied with our Energize kits.
This 6S LiPo battery has a capacity of 6000mAh and a discharge rating of 30C.
Capable of powering the Energize barrow kit for 3 - 5 miles depending on load and terrain.

I went to the big one earlier in the year to compare both barrow conversion companies.
Opted for global as they offered a welding service and the other was drill it in yourself. Also the kit looked alot better with global. (Throttle set, cables, batteries and connections)
I have the avid transit which has a different wheel frame compared to most.

I can't recommend them higher, does exactly as expected and it's nice to have the usb charging option fitted on the converter.
Save needing any power packs. I'm certainly not going to drain that battery on a 3 night session.

Plus it's so nice to get to your swim not pissing with sweat or barely able to breathe 👍🏻

I've seen both, the global looked better to look at but don't know about performance. Anyone got anything to say that's used both?

Q - Do these kits allow for total breakdown of the barrow (ie connectors that can be decoupled) as they always look like they require a lot of cables / cable ties etc that seem fixed . . .?

Not that I'm actually that bothered as I love my Nash Power Metro however may want to pimp my Porterlite one day!

The Global kit I have fitted to my Fatboy allows the wheel and handles to be detached with the quick release electrical connectors supplied. The whole thing can be dismantled and put in the Carporter bag in a couple of minutes.

Pack down like normal no worries about cables or damaging something.
It's that simple

Got a Global one on my MK2 porter.

Very happy with it plenty of tug in the motor even fully loaded.

Easy to set up and take down in sections it's well thought out.

Would recommend totally
