Electric vs non electric golf trolleys.

[kid2]

At the moment I'm carrying and have been the past 2 seasons. While I love this and its go anywhere you want mobility sometimes it would be nice to have a trolley... Mainly medals if I find I get a bit tired.. Our course is quite hilly so my energy obviously dictates how I play at times... I have a hill billy terrain but have always found it slower than the speed I walk..

So I'm now thinking of selling it and buying a 3 wheeled push trolley.... Am I mad or would it be worth the expense. … looking at maybe a Clicgear.…

i think a decent push trolley is all you need, too much hassle with battery charging etc for me with a leccy one. I have 2 options, carry or push trolley. I think thats perfect. i think leccy trolleys are just taking laziness one step too far!

That must be some slow trolley if you can walk faster! I have a golf stream electric and I mix between carrying and trolleying, my friend has a push trolley and says its great. its nice to be alble to fully load up and not worry about the weight.

Got a Motocaddy S3 Lithium, but wanted to sell it to purchase a cheaper push trolley. Numerous listings on a popular auction site and stupid offers received, but it hasn't sold...so going to have to stay with it. I do think a push trolley is all you need though. Something nice and light is a winner. I'd love to go back to a Sun Mountain Micro Cart

Couldnt agree more, sold my electric trolley 3 years ago, and replaced it with a MotoCaddy S1 Lite.

I've still use a £20 trolley bought from AG about 20 years ago. I think it's about due for retirement now

i have both options as have a clic gear 3.5 and a powacaddie but dont bother with the electric as i play golf on a whim so rarely charge battery just in case i go out to play. only problem i find with push trolley are that they might be light but when you have a big bag fully load with kit it can be a struggle on uphill holes and it doesnt help that our 16th and 17th are up hill just when fatigue is kicking in. So if your course is reasonable flat i would go for a push trolley. if not then stick to the electric trolley

After using an electric trolley for the last ten years I have now started to carry again. I much prefer this, however, if I am playing in a 36 holer or there is chance of rain and I need to carry loads of gear I will use the trolley. Personally I have never seen the point of having a trolley with no battery.

I've mainly carried but at times now use my 3 wheel push trolley, its only a cheap Masters one buts its as light as a feather and folds down to nothing.

I've had a normal electric trolley, a remote control jobby, in fact the whole 9 yards and charging battery's, breaking down, buying bushes, axles, flat battery halfway around or forgetting the battery just became a pain in the backside.

Carry or push for me

Because they don't become high maintenance and something else to remember to have to think about, mine to push is very light and easier to control if I go a bit wide of the mark over rough terrain than an electric one IMO :smirk:

A couple of mates of mine have the clicgear trolleys an they do seem very well made and easy to push. I think the weak link on them is the wheel lock mechanism. However, not actually owning one I cannot fully confirm this. Maybe you need to do a bit of research.

Love my push trolly. Loved my electric but the battery lark frustrated me! I dont think I would go for an electric again as the 3 wheeled push trolly are so good now.

If however I did get an electric, I would only get the one Fundy uses. No idea what it is but the man knows how to kill trollys so has some uber strong aircraft material one.... Proper tyres, proper bearings... I feel like I could ride it.

Golfstream revolution Al, been excellent since I bought it rather than the overly plastic motocaddy offering I had before! I love to carry but the body is less willing and like some others, never seen the point in a trolley if i have to push or pull it, steering it is enough for me

I had a Go Kart - good trolley but once I tried one of the newer 3 wheel push carts I was sold - lightweight, easy to push/manouvre and no battery charging hassles. I have a Sun Mountain Speed Cart and it's great and they're customer service is amazing.

Carried all winter and used my trolley on Saturday for the first time. Without doubt I felt fresher and had more energy after 18 holes than when carrying (and I think of myself as pretty fit)!

The automatic version of the GoKart trolley set the speed at which you walk at. Best customer service out there too

If plugging the battery into the charger when I get home is high maintenance - I'll soldier on with it

Hehe, for sure but once you forget once the battery gets crappy, you have to carry it and your clubs in from the car. If the battery cannot do 36 holes and you want to you have to make other arrangements for the afternoon, once the battery is poor the 17th and 18th can be a bit of a slog.

I did go to buy a new battery but ended up with a new push trolly and probably wont look back.

flat course push or carry- hilly course electric.............or...........just do whatever you want and pleases you

I like hitting golf balls with sticks, I like having a laugh with other golfers and I like trying to better my scores.

I don't like carrying a big bag full of clubs, balls, tees, clothing, water and Snickers bars.
