Is the carp porter-lite the smallest most compact barrow, l did have one but sold it last year like a fool with my intention on been more mobile and travelling light which was a big mistake on my part with been in my 60s and waiting on both knees to be replaced now it's a struggle, best of it is the wife told me to get one of these electric conversions kit but told her l'm not that old and can manage wish l'd listen to her for once now. I only do the odd night nowadays but it's surprising how much you take just doing dawn til dusk with me needing a chair and my brew kit and usually a brolly. Has a one put one of these kits on a smallish barrow at all. Many thanks

After 20 years of using a porterlite I've just retired it and bought a trakker x-trail T1 barrow, which I think is the old Cygnet barrow??
I really like it, it's much lighter than the porterlite and has the under barrowbag with it. What I liked about it was being able to pull the front right in making it small enough to use a day chair as a base for winter day fishing. It's only had a couple of outings but easily big enough for the kit for an overnighter and small enough to go in my small VW by just taking the handles off.

massive fan of the porter lite and I dont see how you cant get enough on them - turn the bedchair updaide down open the legs up as sides and the jobs a goodun

I actually think side vbars a waste of time - ps ive since gone on to have a load of power barrows and they are a complete game changer regardless of age but still use the porterlite from time to time for convcenience
Are you sure?
