GoKart for me, why push a trolley round when the battery will do that for you!
Electric or push?

I would like an electric assisted push trolley, best of both worlds!

I'm one of the "all the gear no idea" brigade I'm afraid and have owned a Powakaddy Freeway 2 (awful trolley, replaced FOC twice due to numerous faults then flogged on Ebay), remote control Stewart X7 lithium (lovely trolley but too big and bulky plus the p*ss taking by my mates was incessant!) but I recently bought the Motocaddy S3 Pro which is absolutely brilliant. I've also got a Big Max IQ 3 wheel push trolley which folds down really small and is effortless to push on our flat'ish course in the good weather (not used much this year then) and comes with a 5 year warranty.

Just bought a powerbug sport for £199 from American golf, 12 months warranty, bizarrely it was £249 but asked about price match against online golf and they told me they bough OG last year so no problem
Tried out yesterday and simple to use, pretty light and folds up small enough to fit comfortable in boot. It's not the dogs knackers of
Trollies but pretty pleased for the price

Bought a Stewart Z1 3 wheel push trolley last year which is great but, when I bought it I didn't realise how much golf I would be playing, it"s OK if you play maybe twice a week, but when I am not working I play every day (weather permitting) after the third day on the trot, my legs are very tired & stinging.
So I am just about to admit defeat & buy a Go Kart electric trolley.

The Clicgear is a good piece of kit, however if you have a hilly course I would go Motocaddy, I have had both, our course changes elevation a bit & the motocaddy is easier.

Bit the bullet last night ordered the Clicgear 3.0 and the B3 bag last night from Golfonline. Can't wait for it to come.

Let us know what you think to it, as a Clicgear trolley is firmly on my radar too just now. :thup:

Electric trolleys are for the over 60s and ladies. Carry them you lazy so and so's. 
:ears:
(unless you fit into the aforementioned categories, in that case as you were).
The amount of relatively young players (20's and 30's) at my new club (Filton GC) who use electric trolleys is unbelievable. I think they have run out of kit to buy, got the latest and greatest clubs, loads of clothes and shoes, GPS, what next... electric trolley.
I just decided to get a GPS, maybe the trolley is next! argh!

Stuey, the problem is you don't know their circumstances. I am 25 and have an electric trolley. I used to carry then changed to a push trolley before biting the bullet and going electric. Some people will say "you're too young for an electric trolley" but having played rugby for the best part of 18 years my shoulders and back aren't what they used to be, therefore the electric trolley really helps.
Just because someone is young, doesn't mean they shouldn't have an electric trolley, at the end of the day it's down to personal preference. So if a young person thinks they will shoot lower scores due to less fatigue then so be it.

Will do Dell but going with the weather in Scotland recently I think it's first outing will be in May. :temper:

I know mate, my tongue was firmly in my cheek with that post.
One of my best mates uses a trolley (a push one, but we still take the mick), because of his dodgy knees from years of rugby.

Ok sorry if I seemed a bit punchy with that.
Have too many people saying "don't do this" "you shouldn't be doing that". Just frustrating sometimes.

I received the clicgear trolley and bag today from Golfonline have to say golf online were great took 24hrs from London to central Scotland via parcelforce so first class delivery.
I love the trolley it's a tank surprised how small it folds up and the quality is first class I'd be surprised to see anything better on the market. I bought the white one with the white wheels, so that's going to be fun keeping clean.
The bag, I'm still undecided whether its worth the money the thing that attracted me was the built in rain over and the ball dispenser, these great add on balance out with the downsides of not enough rings to hook on things and the fact I feel it's not any better than my £40 Slazenger bag.
Ill add to my thoughts when I've taken it out on a real test.

Cheers Alan. Reckon I'm going to pull the trigger on a Clicgear trolley early in the new year and I'm liking the look and sound of the bag, from what I've read about it, too. The rain cover will get plenty of use, I'm sure! Mind you, it's not cheap, is it???
Alan

No it's not cheap Del, it looks great and there s loads of pockets. The raincover is a fantastic idea, I'm surprised its not been done before.
How it looks. The wife wasn't in. Lol.

I bought a GoKart (used) as an opportunity too good to miss came up to buy it. There was one uphill walk from one green to the next tee which was really taking it out of me, so I use the motor at this point on the round and generally push it the rest of the time. Just because you have an electric trolley doesnt mean you need to use its motor all the time.
