I did my own using the kit from Ali express. All the same stuff which is on the nash barrow , thumb throttle , powered wheel and brushless motor , although nash wheels are 250w I went for the 350w wheel for more power , all fitted to my mk2 fat boy , works and pulls an absolute treat and all for just shy of £200

yes the rear wheels are really really wide apart making it super stable
thats actually caused me a problem as it now makes it way to wide to get thru my garden gate and yes the rubber handle problem on the Fox explorer is easily solved by a ratchet strap across the handle`s cranked up tight
but the best ever solution if you can find some ? as they are a straight slide in fit the exact size MK2 FAT BOY CROSS BAR HANDLES

Appreciate u coming back bud
Do the rear wheels splay sufficiently for a stable ride ?
have you needed to brace the handles ?

There’s often mk2 porters for sale on FB marketplace. Maybe you might be lucky and get a cheap good condition one to bolt on a conversion kit, selling the explorer to off set the change.

Currently have an explorer. Will have a think but it is a bit small and wanted rear wheels due to bad back.
New barrow and a conversion kit could be the one.

Yes I have,on a water I'm on its quite a steep grass bank all the way to the carpark.The Nash did well on it to be fair but the PP seemed to just handle it easier.The customer service from PP now is also spot on,the Nash is a nice bit of kit though

Yeah I agree. If someone already has a decent barrow it’s seems very wasteful to buy another powered version if it can be upgraded with a kit that’s essentially the same thing but for hundreds of pounds less.

I think if you have a perfectly good barrow then a power conversion kit from the people that have been doing it longer than anyone else with brilliant aftersales
and is the way to go my Global Angling Kit is plug and play I fitted it in under 45 mins amazing quality
and saved myself a fair few hundred quid if ever there should be any problems pick the phone up and unlike some company's that put you in promised land .......... it GETS SORTED

I dont agree and seeing a nash barrow in use next to a powerporter I will not be changing my opinion either.
