Plugging a battery in is as much hassle as plugging my phone or my laptop or my tablet in. Zero hassle at all.
Electric vs non electric golf trolleys.
- Thread starter kid2
- Start date
so the overall solution is have both- small push trolley permanently in the car and leccy one charging up, if you forget you have a push one ready and no outlay at the club

Totally agree except my battery does not fit nicely on my bedside table like my phone and my wife gets annoyed if I leave a battery an charger cluttering up the house all week.

One big advantage with the golfstream trolley I have is you can flick a switch on the wheels and it turns it from electric to push trolley, so can still be used even without a battery. OK its then quite heavy and not as light as the push specific trolleys but not horrific for a one off (or if your battery goes flat) unlike a lot of the leccy trolleys

All week ? Only takes a couple hours - 6 max to charge ? Possibly in the garage or spare room.

I think I have the capability to press a button and withdraw the wheels slightly, disengaging them from the drive and allowing it to free-wheel, not had to do that fortunately - yet!

Yep same with mine - click the switch and release them out one notch and away you go

Yet the leccy trollies are for lazy people?
But the push trolleys still have to be "pushed", especially uphill. Leccy trolley all the time for me....a no brainer.

The problem some people have is forgetting. When I lived in spalding the course was on the way home and I would call in for a game. There are times that I had forgot to pick my battery up when I left for work at 6 in the morning. I could be teed off by 17:30 calling in on the way home meaning I could get a full 18 through most of the summer. If I had to go home to fetch my battery it would then be about 18:15 when I teed off because off traffic.
So charging a battery is not a pain, but forgetting the battery is..............

Today. 3 ball.
One carrying. One push/pull (Me). One electric
By the second hole the (brand new) electric conked out.
By the fourth a call was made to pro shop to bring out a push trolley - delay.
I've used my push/pull for three years and I'm more than happy to continue doing so.

Mine sits on trickle charge in my man cave.

Only got a small room that I changed into a mancave so once I have the sofa, TV, Xbox and coffee machine in there was not much room for anything else. Would have to sit in the middle of the floor and I would keep tripping over it.
I think part of my thinking about moving to a push trolley is also that I play a lot flatter course than I used to.
But have you got a 'Drive Through' trolley wash :smirk:

I've not been playing long
Decided to get a motocaddy push trolley 1st with one of their tour bags
Found it ok ...... But the bag and trolley in its bag are far to big and clumbersum, and only just manage to get in boot of my car (I have an estate) also found the front wheel got clogged with mud
Anyway brought a sun mountain 35 carry bag earlier this year - been pleased with it so far
Free to walk anyway and I like my hands being free one of the good side benefits
We will see as the season goes on - the carry bay fits onto trolley so will be able to use as the weather heats up
Anybody wants the tour bag let me know it's in good condition and not used that much

I am impressed with that! Sadly I can't see the hotel group that owns our course buying one, we don't even have a compressed air line
