Thats my favourite thing about it. Watching my mate struggle like mad pushing his barrow and me cruising past him with one hand on the handlebar and the other giving him the middle finger

Yeh, been putting it off for too long now and my mate pushing his barrow with one finger convinced me to buy the upgrade this morning!

I note Gerry's have now removed that page listing the new power porters, from their website.

Not good mate, be careful out there  The father in-law has COPD and was rushed into hospital Saturday night, Sunday tested positive for covid...today his wife also tested positive, she's due her 3rd dose of chemo next week from a 6 dose course 
These barrows made me look at second hand quads and trailers the other day, worked out cheaper

I have just forked out £625 for a UK barrow conversion for my Tri-porter. Because of my COPD, i needed to stop at least 6 times on the way to my swim this weekend.

No reply from carp porter when I asked about the price and they usually respond within a day or two.
Guess that can only mean the barrow is actually the stupid price of £1800. With that precedent set, this will mean one. When solar nash fox release a new version of their barrows the price will be similar to carp porter.

I wouldn't even be contemplating getting a power barrow if it wasn't for issues I have with my back. The price of these things is already ridiculous but there's not a chance in hell I'm parting with £1800
I'm left with either the solar one and get new back wheels (heard to many bad reports.on the nash and fox ones)
Or alternatively get a normal barrow and buy a conversion kit
What's the best out of those two options?

So we used to carry all our gear for a night or two, two trips if staying longer.
We then got barrows which were a god send and made the trip easier.
Then power barrows - absolutely fantastic and no more getting stuck in the mud.
We then needed back wheels, because we piled so much crap on them it became impossible to lift the handles.
We now need swivel back wheels because the barrow is no longer a barrow and given the 7 ton load it will only go straight.
We now need a brake.
If only Elon was a bearded Essex boy, we’d have self driving bivvys with everything already set up….

Given these sorts of prices and the cost of a lot of top end gear it wouldn't surprise me if we see a nasty 'on the bank' robbery or 2, I'm not talking your average thief. Just tot it up in your head...and if you have a 5k RT7, 3k reels etc etc...jesus it's scary.

They are right though It’s not £1800, it’s £1799.99

I've just asked them again, see if they give me some waffle as an answer
If it is actually that price then why would anyone buy the thing. Surely the solar, fox , nash or conversion ones can't be that bad. Even with barrow buddies replacement wheels you would still be saving at least £600 on this carp porter one

God knows what's going on. I asked carp porter on Facebook if the barrow in the video which has the swivel wheels is £1800 as that's absolutely madness if so. They replied saying it's not £1800.
Unless they are trying to get away with saying it's fron £1500
