Electric Golf Trolley Buying Guide

If you only play occasionally, a reliable entry-level electric trolley may provide everything you need. These models are straightforward to operate and offer excellent value for money.

For golfers playing several times a week, it may be worth investing in additional features such as compact folding, a more informative display or downhill control.

Electric golf trolleys are available across a wide range of prices, from straightforward entry-level models to premium GPS and remote-controlled trolleys.

Spending more doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll enjoy your golf more. The important thing is choosing features you’ll genuinely use rather than paying extra for technology you don’t need.

One of the most important considerations is how easily your trolley will fit into your car boot or storage area at home.

Some electric trolleys fold down into remarkably compact sizes, making them particularly suitable for golfers with smaller cars or limited storage space.

We always recommend checking the folded dimensions before purchasing.

If you regularly play on a relatively flat course, a standard electric trolley may be perfectly suitable.

However, if your course has steep hills or slopes, a model equipped with downhill control can make a noticeable difference.

Downhill control automatically regulates the trolley’s speed when travelling downhill, reducing the need to physically hold it back.

This is the question we get asked the most ! Motocaddy and Powakaddy dominate the UK golf trolley sector, so our opinion is that with either brand you are getting a fantastic product, after sales service and warranty. Both Motocaddy and PowaKaddy make a wide range of electric golf trolleys. The best choice depends on the features you need, folding size, controls and personal preference. We can help you choose a model that suits your game.

Modern Motocaddy and Powakaddy batteries are ultra efficient with the standard battery capable of easily completing 18 holes on a single charge in normal conditions. However, if you tend to play on hilly and or wet golf courses and carry a lot of weight in your golf bag then you may want to consider the upgraded Extended/XL battery. We no longer refer to batteries as either 18 or 36 hole – instead we refer to them as Standard or Extended/Ultra. The reason is no-one can tell you exactly how many holes your trolley will run for on a single charge as there are so many variables involved. Eg playing on a hilly course, on a wet day, with extra weight in your golf bag will reduce the number of holes the battery will last.

Yes! Modern electric golf trolleys are designed to be very easy to use, with frames that are easy to fold and unfold. No more fiddly cables to connect the battery, as all current Motocaddy and Powakaddy models use a cable free battery system – you just drop the battery into it’s it’s housing, switch it on and away you go !
