Collapsible trolley, whats the most compact but strongest?

[Mark_G]

Good Morning Gentlemen,

As I am using golf to loose quite a bit of weight, and my trolley is only a cheapy, I am looking at a new trolley, (bad back so cant carry clubs). I need a push/pull trolley that is strong, but very compact when folded up, can anyone recommend a trolley that fits the bill.

Thanks in advance, Mark

Clic gear is a good trolley that folds up pretty small

also gonna invest in a trolley Mark, after carrying yesterday and being knackered after 15 holes. Theres quite a few around the £100 mark that get decent reviews

am tempted by this one

looks very compact when folded altho am sure some supermarket trolley references would ensue

They both look good, not sure about 4 wheels as surely that would make it more unstable. My cheapy trolley has started creaking as it goes round so I think one day soon it will just give out.

Has to be the GOKART for me.. opens and closes within seconds. Fantastic customer service and comes in a variety of colours to suit. And all for less than £240

Cheers

I use the Motocaddy S1 lite which I have found to be very sturdy and folds down quite small. Couple of mates use the Powacaddy twinline and swear by them.

I use a Powakaddy Twinline and have been very pleased with it. It won't fold quite as small as a clicgear or Gokart but you can get them for around £80, they're very stable & trouble-free and if you get the Twinline 3 model the brake works... (from which you can gather that it didn't on previous models).

+1.
Twinline 3 - as good as it gets

firstly, you need a push trolley, better for your back as it won't cause you to twist.

think about this one, not the cheapest but compact

Unsurprisingly I'd go with go-kart. Not the fanciest looking but extremely functional. I can get 36 holes out of my battery (don't try it regularly though) if I need to and it is compact and easy to assemble. The after sales service if there is a problem is second to none

I use a twinline 3 in the summer.I Think its pretty good, very stable even have the brolly holder on mine and it works.

I had a Twinline 3 and generally it is fine. Only issue I had was with the break slipping (heavy bag and steep hill combination. Went to a click gear and had no such problems and folds up very small.

Yes I like my Go-Kart but got the impression that the OP was asking for advise on manual trolleys and not powered ones. Given the choice then I would pick a powered trolley every time but even the cheapest ones cost nearly twice the price of a decent manual one.

How easy are these electric trolleys to push when the battery dies.

 

[viscount17]

when you consider electric trolleys are heavier in the first place, plus the added weight of the battery, plus few, if any, can disengage the gearing - they aren't easy. I know, I've been there

If you're thinking of a gokart, my 5 year old son has some spare lego that he could knock something together from. When it breaks, he'll rebuild it the same day if you promise to tell everyone what great service he gave you.

If that doesn't fit the bill, I had a Motocaddy S1 push trolley that was great. Definitely go with push rather than pull, much easier and doesn't twist your back

 

[Mark_G]

Yes I am after a manual, to maximise the exercise I am getting, some lovely bits of kit on show, its going to be a difficult choice.

I think my 4 wheel microcart was the only bag or trolley in our 4 ball not to get blown over in teh wind today

 

[Mark_G]

Well I checked out as many as I could, and must say they are lovely, but in the end I went for the powerkaddy twinline 3, first run out today and it was very good indeed. The brake works fine, the adjustable handle is a nice touch, it collapses and goes up in seconds and feels very solid when being used. Thank you very much for all your advice.
