Any owners out there know ......
- can the rear wheels be replaced for feet ?
- using the lower handles on the handle bar, does it perform same / similar to mk2 big boy ?

not sure about the feet thing but when i had the big boy i found it too big and cumbersome and only good for flat survaces. It is very heavy to lift by lower handles so not really like a MK2 etc to use that way. I actually think the handle arrangement on these is a hindrance more than help . I went back to my MK4s after a season

I have one of these,

I don't think it would be very practical with the rear wheels removed and swapped for feet, it's a bit too big.

I also took the bottom set of handles off mine as they got in the way,

I had it converted to electric by global angling products down in Romsey, and it's been great.

I spend a lot of time on my syndicate which is muddy, uneven with plenty of tree roots and other crap, I don't really have any issue - but I would recommend getting it motorised.
