Well, having been a victim of the cowboy owner of this firm when he was doing "motorsport plumbing", I'll definitely be sticking to Carp Porter. I guess at least in this industry, this guy cant kill any customers with his awful work like he almost did in his previous business (now dissolved). But i guarantee he will be letting customers down (buying directly from him, no thanks!) and letting suppliers down big time with his cowboy ways.

One of his motors could go mad and drag an OAP into the water 😮you can’t contact these ppl so it’s a no go for me , seeing your comment explains all , cheers mate mind made up

Looks wicked. Had me sold until you gave a price. I think I'll stick to just pushing mine.

Received my conversion kit finally but it’s great bit of kit loaded my barrow with my fishing gear and no problem , thanks again

This would be a perfect product for a sweepstakes! 🤗

Look a great bit of kit I've been thinking about getting one as my knees are knackered from a couple of bike accidents

Very impressed with mine that arrived last week. Just a shame it took so long to arrive. Really are well built. At my age(74) it’s going to help getting to swims that were beyond me due to arthritis and back and hip problems. You young anglers have that to look forward to.

Glued to this until the price part. I'll keep pushing mine. 😅

I've seen these on Facebook I'm going to purchase soon

Great bit of kit. Much better quality than some on the market

Awesome mate, will be hitting the credit card soon......Im trying to pay it off 🤣🤣😁👍

I have 2 front wheels on my barrow, is there a kit for those?

6 months to wait for a kit from this company! No thanks, I'll make my own for about half the price

Is the other barrow the Trakker xtrail compact? What's that like with the conversion kit? Looks like it has better ground clearance on the front panniers.

I ordered one in September and they are so busy it didn’t arrive for 11 weeks but it was worth the wait. Brilliant bit of kit

Great review. I've been looking at these for a while now.

I place my order after having surgery and needing a motorised barrow for a fishing trip, as others stated the delivery is 14-28 Working Days (around 6weeks). On working day 27 in their eyes and 28 in mine, they stated when contacting BCUK they were now working to 4-8weeks but had not informed me stating they were so busy, this, that, there was a "y" in the day of the week, and to top it all them gave me an "expected" delivery date 9weeks after placing the order. This was useless to me as this was the week I was away so tried to cancel which again was difficult but they did do, mind you I have not checked my account and they are "so busy" I really should check they have completed the refund. Unhappy not knowing where to turn, what to do other purpose built powered barrows are either underpowered or too big for me however, I found GAP "Global Angling Products" contacted them paid a little bit more money than BCUK but with a bigger battery so possibly the same and received the item in 6 days including a weekend, a Royal Mail postal strike, so if you want a Barrow Conversion I would rate them, obviously this video has had been a massive plus for BCUK but is extremely negative for the consumer. As an update after cancelling my order which they clearly managed to do as it did not arrive as stated 9weeks after placing the order, I forgot to check if they had refunded me my £550, on checking 5weeks after cancelling they had not so had to contact them again to get the refund, please be careful if placing an order with BCUK it will leave you with a bad taste in you mouth.

Ordered my kit with lipo batts 3 weeks ago, still awaiting delivery as they are super busy, which is indicative of the quality and value of the product kit, anybody who think these ain’t cheap are clueless as the motor kit with out batts and charger are alone around the £180 mark from china, then the custom forks & throttle bracket Mount and wiring speed controller box etc…. This kit is a bargain as opposed to purchasing a electric barrow from nash/carp porter!!! And if you change barrow in future quick message to bcuk they will hook you up 👌

Just bring less kit. It's amazing Carp were ever caught a few years ago before the Tackle Industry fooled you into thinking you need a barrowful of gear to fool a fish. Just saying. 🙂

Not really a valid point. The majority of the stuff we carry on out barrows is to keep us more comfortable and protect us from the weather. Travelling light is fine for a day session, but some of us want to fish for more than 10 hours at a time and if your fishing for big carp, a day often isn’t usually going to be long enough to be very productive.

Never really done a post like this don't really know how to write it but I would like people not have the experience I have had and potentially loose a large ammount of money I will be taking the directors of this company personally to court so I will be paid one way or another These guys have taken £1100 of my money and are no longer answering emails or calls When they do answer the phone they are very rude and are always extending leads times on the order that I'm promised will be sent out "always next week" I''ve even cancelled the order with my bank to then have barrow conversions UK say we can't refund you unless you end the dispute so stupidly I did this and now I will have to go down the court route this is all documented in emails.

Here's my problem; I order one of these, and the wheel comes with the kit - an unnecessary expense, and I have a spare wheel knocking about cluttering up the place. BCUK really should think about this and streamline their costings down as they are asking us to pay for an extra item that we really don't need!

It looks a good bit of kit and I was going to order one but after reading so many negitive comments about the guy Mitch and the really bad customer service and the ridiculous long delivery times I will have to give it a miss and order from a different company where you do not have to wait almost 3 months to receive it!!! Also the fact that your warranty starts from the date of ordering and not the date of receiving the item is nothing short of a outrageous.😡 like the man says, after having to wait almost 3 months to recive the product you are actually only getting a 9 month warranty and if the customer service is as bad as people say I do not feel confident you will have your problem taken care of if you have one!! So no thank you.

Stay well away from this company! They state a 9-12 week lead time when ordering but I was waiting over 19 weeks and then they cancelled my order with no explanation. They don’t respond to emails, they had closed there phone line so you have so way of contacting them. Just pay the extra for carp porter
