Electric Golf Trolley Guide

Before, golf trolleys are considered by “proper golfers” as devices that are used only by women and seniors who are too lazy to carry their clubs around the course for several miles. Things started to change when research revealed the risks to back muscles through carrying; or injuries to shoulders and biceps by pulling a trolley.

Later, trolleys are integrated with a sophisticated technology. Modern battery-powered trolleys are easy to operate. Today, golf trolleys are a must-have accessory of amateur and professional golfers. It takes away the risk of injuries as well as maintains focus and concentration throughout the round as the closing stretch of holes tend to both build physical and mental fatigue.

If you are not sure how to spot for your perfect trolley, here are some tips you should take note. Golf trolleys are usually priced £199 and £500.  (Powakaddy Golf Trolleys are the market leader)Therefore, you must be more careful on choosing which one suits you the best. 

• Foldability and Assembly. Your chosen device must fit in the transport that will carry it around the course. 
• Robust, light and heard-wearing. It must be light enough to lift comfortably in and out of your car. 
• Handle Height. The handle should not put strain on your back and shoulders when walking.
• Battery Capability. Consider the undulations of the course you play regularly compared to the climb capability of the battery.
• Battery Charge Life. Find out if your unit has the capability to last the distance depending on the duration of your game. If you play more than 18 holes a day, your battery should be able to handle that.
• Silent Running. Choose the golf trolley that has a powerful yet quiet motor with a start controller that doesn’t jerk it action.
• Dexterity. Find a unit that has an accessible grab handle that allows for a right or left-handed golfer, with fingertip acceleration and deceleration. This should match the golfer’s preferred pace of stride.
• Storage and cleaning. The trolley must have a set of quick release main wheels.
• Free-Wheel capability. Make sure you could still use your trolley even if the battery runs dry.
