My first two trolleys were cheap foreign imports. Both lasted just over a year = £300 in just over two years. I've just retired a Motocaddy S1 that lasted over 6 years, its 2nd battery was still going strong... Buy cheap, buy twice!!

Yep, I bought my motocaddy from my pro when he was upgrading his trolleys. Brand new 36 hole battery for £199, it hasn't missed a beat so far and is so much quieter than the others I see/hear add the course (gokart/powakaddy)

I bought a manufactured in china trolley from a well known uk importer with a 12 month warranty. After suffering several issues following a great deal of wrangling I was given my money back.
Apart from the speed control being erratic the bearings, nuts, bolts and washers were all showing signs of advanced corrosion. I'd played with it twice in the wet and it had been well looked after.
From the refund I bought a second hand powakaddy freeway and bag and it's been a very good purchase.
My advice would be to buy a second hand basic trolley from either powakaddy, motocaddy or go-cart. Don't be tempted to pay extra for a bells and whistles model as they are far more likely to break down

Just buy a motocaddy - possibly find refurbished ones but don't cut corners

I had a fling with a cheap effort. It was poorly built and devloped a horrid squeal as it moved. These days i'm using a british built golfstream evolution. Top notch trolley.
