Electric trolley

[Tom5106]

Hi looking in to an electric trolley,
Anyone have any thoughts , either Golfstream blue, Powerbug or the Powakaddy fx1? All quite basic machines more looking at reliability and weight

You can’t go wrong with a Motocaddy

Best electric Trolley?

Hello guys, Been looking online at the best all rounder and there are so many options to choose from! Bit overwhelming as it's the first time I've ventured into the electric trolley market. I keep coming back to Motocaddy M5 GPS, the Powakaddy CT6 GPS or FX7 GPS. Think the CT6 edges it as it...

Found this thread really helpful!

I've had my powerbug around 6 months and have no complaints. 27 hole battery but I think it could stretch to 36. Fairly basic but does what I need, I already have a gps watch for example. Got £100 trade in for an old motocaddy and paying by Klarna. What more could you want!

No, still need to be 'plugged' into the trolley. Battery is really small though.

Charlatan30 ...... without question it's ^^^^^^^ for the features you mention you're looking for.​

GoKart for me.

British, well made, sensible pricing, no unnecessary functionality, easy assembly,
can get it serviced and the warranty reinstated and customer service is top notch.

What's not too like?

I can only compare Motocaddy and Powakaddy. I found Motocaddy handles are higher up, which is ideal for taller people, Maybe the handles are adjustable? and I think the build quality feels better.

Another for the GoKart. Mine is a Mk.1, 10+ years old and still going strong. Very light and easy to use. I forgot my battery one day when I went to the club and rented their Powakaddy. I couldn't believe how much heavier and cumbersome it felt compared to my GoKart.
The Mk.2 is an improvement over my old Mk.1 but it works so I'm of no mind to change it just for changes sake.
And definitely go for a Lithium battery. I started off with a Lead/Acid and went to Lithium, and won't go back.

I did have the Gokart mk1 years ago didn’t enjoy the lead battery to be fair
Would be nice to see in person the mk2 though

Had a Mk 1 lithium for 8 years & sold it on still going strong. Mk 2 has good improvements so been very happy with it for the last 3 years. We have lots of GoKart users at our place & they are the only trolley users without issues.

I have a Powakaddy CT6, and it's doing my head in. Little stones keep getting trapped in the battery latch. Get to the end of the round and you can't get the battery out, and you're flipping the trolley upside down trying to remove the stone lol. Look elsewhere, and also, it's really not worth £750, and after 3 months, it's already starting to sound rattly.

That’s why I was looking at the Golfstream blue trolley, lightweight simple design , push button

GoKart

A lot of people always seem to be able praise GoKart's customer service which would be worrying.

Customer service isn't always just dealing with problems. But I suspect you know that

Interesting….I don’t have any of those issues with my CT6

I used to, but I always use the airhose on it after the round. Problem solved.
