No Mechanic Needed: How to Convert Your Carp Porter in 4 Simple Steps

This article breaks down the installation into four simple, easy-to-follow steps. It demystifies the DIY process, emphasizing how the kit's specific design for Carp Porter makes the conversion incredibly fast and straightforward for any angler.
The term "conversion kit" can sound daunting. But what if the conversion was so simple, so well-designed, that you could complete it with just a couple of spanners in less time than it takes to tie a few rigs? With the Pitbarrow kit for Carp Porter, that's the reality. Its model-specific design eliminates the complexity found in universal kits.

Here's how easy it is:

Step 1: Remove Your Old Wheel. This is typically just a case of undoing two nuts on the axle and sliding the old wheel out from between the barrow's front forks. This is the hardest part, and it takes about five minutes.

Step 2: Fit the New Motorized Wheel. The Pitbarrow kit comes with a custom-length axle and the exact spacers for your Porter. Slide the axle through one fork, add a spacer, slide on the new motorized wheel, add the other spacer, and guide the axle through the other fork. Secure it with the provided nuts. It's designed to fit perfectly.

Step 3: Mount the Controls. The thumb throttle unit simply clamps onto your barrow's handlebar in a comfortable position. The battery, already in its protective bag, straps securely onto the barrow frame—usually on the front bar, where it adds to the balance.

Step 4: Plug and Play. The wiring loom is the final, satisfying step. The connectors are colour-coded, shaped to only fit one way, and fully waterproof. Simply connect the throttle to the motor cable, and the motor cable to the battery. There is no way to get it wrong. That's it. You're ready to go.

This entire process is straightforward, logical, and requires no special skills. It’s a testament to a well-engineered product designed with the end-user in mind. You get the immense satisfaction of a DIY job well done, without any of the usual DIY frustration.
