A complete novice attempts to convert a carp fishing Barrow to a 24 volt power barrow.

Unfortunately I'm at an age where I'm starting to struggle to push a fully loaded Barrow to a peg, it's particularly difficult on muddy and inclined ground.
With this in mind I decided to purchase a Kit online and build it myself.
As a complete novice in this sort of thing I was filled with dread at the thought of what could go wrong and the possibility of wasting the money I'd spent on materials.
Follow me as I wing my way through it all with some invaluable help from the Facebook group below.

Brilliant video given me the confidence to have a go at doing mine

[@BivvyLife]

Just take your time and ask for help if you get stuck. Either message me or join the Facebook group that I've linked in the video description. You'll feel really chuffed with yourself once completed. All the best Steve

@@BivvyLife Thanks, just joined the FB group seems a lot of knowledgeable people on there

You've saved yourself around £350 , in comparison to the Price of a Prestige Big Boy power " kit".. so I guess its a win..... End of the day, a powered barrow is an absolute game changer. Especially in the winter mud. And you can rig up the batteries as emergency power banks.. There's so many pluses to having a power barrow... Atm, though, they are priced out of many anglers reach..... Cheers for the honest upload.

[@BivvyLife]

Yes mate I'd not compared my spend with the prestige kit so yes that's a great point. I hear the "game changer" phrase so often but it's bang on. Thanks for the kind feedback. Tight lines Steve

[@tommycarping]

Well done mate, like I said before you just need a seat on it now lol. Saved money and you've got the achievement of doing it yourself :)

[@carperharvey1832]

Nice job steve turned out nice i looked into these myself watched a few vids on youtube but ended up ordering a barrowconversionsuk power kit bit extra than u had to fork out at £615 but without the hassle now no peg is too far or that extra kit isn't too much now lol

[@BivvyLife]

Cheers pal, I too ordered from ukbarrowconversions but ended up cancelling my order due to the long lead times. Hence this build. Thanks for the kind feedback. Tight lines Steve

[@cwmannchi601]

Lol we must have been on the same wave length, I made mine a few months ago, I like your single wheel style looks a little easier to do

[@BivvyLife]

Thanks pal, how did you get on with yours and which kit did you opt for, power, battery etc ?

[@cwmannchi601]

Hi I used a old mobility scooter motor and frame, and a makita 18v 5A battery, works well, battery lasts for weeks lol surprised with that, there is a video of it

[@BivvyLife]

[@glennrobinson7716]

Hi Steve,One Question. When you connected the wheel to the control box, you used a 12 pin Deutsch connector. There are 8 wires coming from the wheel, and 8 wires coming from the control box. How did you get 16 wires into a 12 pin connector? Regards Glenn

[@BivvyLife]

@glennrobinson7716 Hi Glen. I split the 8 wires from the wheel, The 3 the phase wires went to the 3 way high powered blue connector that you'll see in the video. The other 5 hall sensor wires went to a 6 pin Deutsch connector. The remaining speed, forward and reverse wires were connected to a12 pin Deutsch block. Hope this helps pal. Regards Steve
