Extreme: The Ultimate Powered Barrow

The Barrow That Means Business

You’ve seen powered barrows before, but if you don’t have time to mess around, the Extreme is exactly what you need. Available in both DPM and green colourways, this powerhouse is the beast of the Carp Porter range. Built on the robust Big Boy Tri-Porter frame, the Extreme pairs unparalleled power with rugged design. If you’re the type to bring everything, including the kitchen sink, this barrow is made for you.

Unmatched Power and Range

The Extreme is engineered for those who demand more. Its two large rear wheels and flat-profile design make it capable of accommodating larger batteries, extending it’s range. Equipped with 2x 14aH batteries, the Extreme offers an impressive theoretical range, ensuring you can travel farther and carry more gear than ever before.

While the larger wheels may add some resistance, you’ll still enjoy a range comparable to other Power Porter models. The barrow includes a colour-matched larger battery bag, and for those prioritising extended trips, additional batteries can be purchased. That said, most anglers will find the standard setup more than sufficient.

Enhanced Durability and Style

We’ve made key updates to the Extreme since taking ownership of the brand:

Improved durability: High-load areas have been reinforced, ensuring the barrow is tougher and more reliable than ever.
Sleek aesthetics: Black wheel hubs and locking pins have replaced the original silver components, giving the barrow a refined ‘carpy’ look.

Despite these enhancements, the Extreme remains true to its roots as an incredibly popular model. After all, if it ain’t broke, why fix it?

Advanced Electronics for Effortless Control (TBC)

As part of the continual evolution of the Extreme Power Porter, the latest models feature a cutting-edge electronic control unit (ECU). This bespoke system has been developed to deliver smooth operation, better performance, and innovative features that make the Extreme Power Porter more capable than ever before.

Here’s what makes this ECU a game-changer:

Soft Start Technology

Smooth operation is critical when manoeuvring a heavily loaded barrow, and the Extreme’s Soft Start Technology ensures just that.

Controlled Speed Increases: The system gradually ramps up to the selected speed, preventing jerky movements or sudden lurches.
Effortless Adjustments: Whether you’re carefully parking by your swim or moving across uneven terrain, the soft start function makes every move smooth and precise.

New for 2025: Van-Loading Feature

The 2025 model introduces a van-loading feature, a thoughtful addition that makes transporting your barrow safer and easier.

Quick-Stop Functionality: Hold the power button for 6 seconds or less to disengage the slow-stop mechanism, bringing the barrow to an immediate halt. This feature is designed to give you precise control when navigating ramps or loading into vans, helping you avoid mishaps like colliding with the bulkhead.
Slow-Stop for Everyday Use: For regular operation, holding the button longer than 6 seconds enables the usual slow-stop procedure, ensuring smooth deceleration during normal use.

This innovative feature provides added confidence when loading, taking the stress out of tricky manoeuvres.

Reverse Drive with Adjustable Speeds

Reversing isn’t just convenient—it’s essential for handling tight spaces or tough terrain. The Reverse Drive feature takes the Extreme to the next level with its new 2025 upgrade.

Enhanced Manoeuvrability: The reverse gear gives you total control over backing up, whether you’re repositioning by your swim or navigating a narrow path.
Three Speed Options: Select from three reverse speeds, allowing you to move faster or handle steeper inclines with ease.

Natural Braking System

Safety and stability are priorities when operating a heavy, powered barrow, especially on sloped terrain. The Natural Braking System has been designed to keep the Extreme Power Porter under control.

Smooth Deceleration: Release the go button, and the barrow slows naturally under drivetrain resistance.
Perfect for Downhill Use: This also give the barrow a braking effect which helps to prevent the barrow from accelerating downhill, keeping it manageable and safe.

Bespoke Design

This upgraded ECU wasn’t an off-the-shelf addition—it was created specifically for Power Porter barrows.

Designed from the ground up this ECU delivers a tailored performance that meets the unique demands of fishing.
Uncompromising Quality: Every detail of this system has been engineered to maximise reliability, functionality, and ease of use.

Ultimate Load Capacity

The Extreme’s design is all about maximising capacity and convenience. It features:

Upgraded zip-sealed centre bag and front arm bar for secure storage.
Flat-loading platform with extendable front and side bars to accommodate any size bedchair.
Tall front bar and Y-bar for securing large loads.

This combination makes the Extreme ideal for mega sessions, where you need to bring everything. And thanks to its powerful electric motor, there’s no need for dreaded second trips back to the car.

Easy Assembly and Precision Engineering

Setting up the Extreme is straightforward:

Attach the front wheel using four thumbscrews.
Drop in the battery and connect it.
Plug in the drive control to the pre-routed centre cable.
Attach the handlebars with two thumbscrews and connect the hand controller.
Fit the rear wheels.

Each wheel unit is meticulously paired with its frame during manufacturing to ensure perfect alignment. Before dispatch, every barrow is tested and adjusted to run true, so you can trust it to perform right out of the box.
