FAQs
Our barrows are officially rated to carry up to 100kg, as this is the weight they’ve been rigorously tested to handle. That said, we know some anglers have pushed the limits and carried more—but for optimal performance and longevity, we recommend sticking within the 100kg limit.
All our Power Porters use the same high-quality motor and electronics, so performance remains consistent across the range. There’s no single ‘best’ model – it’s all about choosing the design that best suits your fishing style and needs.
