I've had my M7 remote now for a few weeks, and have done a few rounds with it. Before it, I had a Golfstream Revolution for 12 years or so.
For the M7
It folds up quite small and takes up way less space in the boot with the bag.
Being able to send the trolley forward to the next tee or somewhere is a god send on the legs and knees.
Being able to walk without stooping or worrying about kicking the trolleys wheels is great.
It is very stable over terrain.
Against the M7
The remote control isn't the most constant, in that little presses on a direction don't change it much and too long a press has it going zig zag .
It isn't the quietest over hard or rough surfaces as the wheels/tyres are quite hard. I admit the Golfstream had pneumatic tyres, and the difference is night and day.
The gadget station it comes with has already lost one of the fitting screw in end caps.
Using it as a normal leccy trolley I find quite difficult. Whether it's because it has twin motors or DHC, but steering it by the handle is difficult and the trolley stops dead when you cut the power. The trolley does roll well when you move the wheels to free-wheel position, but the Golfstream never needed that.
It doesn't hold a line very well if there is any sort of undulation or gradient other than straight up or down.
It skids when trying to change direction on wet turf, to a point of not turning and just locking 1 wheel up.
Conclusion
Overall, the M7 isn't bad, it just misses the finer points my Golfstream had before. The wheels/tyres could be better with a softer material which would probably help noise and traction, but in the main I like the remote aspect more than my dislikes.....so far anyway.
