Hi Glen. I recently converted a barrow to electric with a similar kit from Aliexpress. But I couldn’t get it to work. Thanks to your video, I discovered that I had to power up the Power Lock. You have saved me a massive headache, as I was doing this for my uncle. So just wanted to say a huge thank you.
Hi Glen. I recently completed my conversion with the same kit. A JRC wide wheel barrow was my subject! I researched the Hall Sensor wiring and found some interesting stuff online. This wiring loom should be included as it communicates with the controller re the amount of torque required, weight vs torque calculation. We need this considering the amount of weight we put on the barrow. It works and turns without the Hall Sensor but it delivers a better experience once connected.
Hello, super vid and the build one, can you tell me how much money this has saved you considering how expensive they are to buy one already made...cheers
Hi Glen seen this a couple of times now, and I have brought the kit and I'm waiting for it to arrive. Could you tell me how did you set up recharging the batteries please.
Hi glen . Clocked the conversion kit on Aliexpress. Just out of interest what power batteries are you using and does the wheel fit easily to the existing barrow axle set up. Thanks.
I'm using 2 X 12volt 12amp batteries that I got from ebay, for the axle I found I guy on Facebook that was making them and a part for the thumb throttle

@@GlenHarvey how you finding it? Have you managed to test it with a decent load on the barrow for a fair distance yet? I'm also trying with the idea of doing this. Was thinking of an external drive motor but if the 1 your using proves to be reliable then it will be the easier route 👍🏼
Afternoon Alex, I have now finished the build and will put a video on here, but no not as of yet, my first chance will be the end of the month, I will let you know how it goes, I don't travel light and the swims that I like are around 500 metres away
Hi Glen, Is there throttle adjustment as it seems very fast, although not under load at the moment? Do you have any links for the components please, am interested in doing similar. Thanks in advance
Hello, yes tested mine at the weekend but not sure if the controller was hot as it's in a box I will open the box up today and have look for signs of over heating , work on the video of the barrow fully loaded, cheers

This is great information and I will be connecting mine This weekend, thanks
Could you tell me please where I could buy the parts to do mine please.
Hi Glen where can I get the forks to fit this convention
Hi there is 3 wires from wheel and a cluser of 5 with the metal pins. Dont they go to the the white plug on program
What barrow is it for and where did u get kit from
@karllast9867 Hello, I done this on a carp porter and got the kit from AliExpress
Where did you get the brackets from for the wheels? Can’t find anything?
Hi did you put batteries and unit into another box
Hello, yes I did, so I used 2 boxes of the same sizes that would fit into the side bags that go either side of the wheel
@@GlenHarvey what bag did you use please
Hi Glen did you work out what the 2 wires were for that were connected and how's the barrow going to date
I can't seem to locate the wheel or invertor on Ali express. ?

Hello Dave, well if you say that a power porter is £1000 then I would say around £400 saving including the barrow as well
Hi Glen seen this a couple of times now, and I have brought the kit and I'm waiting for it to arrive. Could you tell me how did you set up recharging the batteries please.
Hello, I have a 12 volt socket on each box's and charge them one at a time

Hello mate where did u buy that controller plz
Hello mate, it came as a set from AliExpress
Hi Glen. Can you confirm the two batteries are 12v each but what amp please.
They are 12 volt 12amp that I got from ebay
Bit of a daft one but What’s the wire u used to link the batteries? I’m no good with electrics do u have a link to buy one?
Sorry Spike it was just a bit of 15amp cable that I had in my box
Hi Glenn. Is the build video coming up soon? Also where did you get the bits? Contacted AD and they said the kit had been discontinued. Thanks
Hello, William
I will try to put it up soon
Sorry for the delay
