Solar Traveller version looks v similar to Nash Metro (almost exact frame size) - but with ability to recharge without unloading barrow which is advantage. Only worry is no welded cross bar across handles which could create problems when fully loaded . . . BB rear wheel kit on this barrow would be ideal!

I have a standard Mk 2 Porter already and was looking to upgrade to a Power barrow.

Your comments about upgrading with UK barrow conversion kits being cheaper and better , obviously interest me.

I take it the 12 ah is the battery to choose ?

I was looking at the UK barrow conversion kit with the fat boy cross bar handles and just keeping the standard Mk 2 rear legs , can you explain the advantages of the rear wheels please ?

I guess really it shows how daft it is paying £1K for a powered fishing barrow. There is very little to them.

You've got to wonder why no ones made a stand on motorised platform with flexi attachment that could be attached directly to any barrow.

Another vote for Dean at barrow buddies. I just got my set delivered for the power porter Xtreme as the it's a nightmare with the wheels it comes with!

Its a complete new mech that requires some minor drilling to fit. More agg on a Nash barrow as the wires are integrated in the frame (you have to be careful) however any aftermarket power kits it should be a doddle . .

Exactly the same set up I have! Fantastic and battery lasts for ever.

My mate bought the solar one and its pants! The rear wheels are simply not fit for purpose unless you are on a flat surface

Do they replace the current ones or would it need the back legs to attach on to?

Second this post.

I have recently upgraded my barrow set up.

I went for a standard MK2 Porter which I use with the tri-porter handles, Dean's adjustable rear wheels and a power upgrade from UK Barrow Conversions. All in cost less than a Power Porter "off the shelf" and has more power/better battery and the rear wheel kit is a game changer.
