Why should I use an electric golf caddy vs. a regular push cart of a golf cart?

Electric caddies provide many benefits including better health through exercise, weight loss, better score and better overall golf experience.  There is significant cost savings since many of the golf caddies usually pay themselves within 1-2 years compared to paying $10-20 per round for a riding cart or paying for a caddy.  Electric caddy also give the golfer the feeling of playing like a tour pro playing with a walking caddy which usually improves their game.  By not pushing the golf caddy, it will prevent golfers from straining their backs and causing them to be fatigued after 12-13 holes.

What's the difference between remote and non-remote controlled electric caddy?

Remote caddies can be operated via handheld remote (many with range of up to 100 yards). Manual non-remote caddies are power assisted (with varying speeds) but require the golfer to steer it like a lawn mower.  Some non-remote caddies have a function called "advanced distance feature" or "timed advanced function" which will allow golfers to send the golf caddy for a certain distance (usually up to 60 yards) forward stopping automatically once the desired distance is reached. When operating a non-remote electric caddy, golfers usually need to hold the handle to steer and to avoid the caddy from tipping over backwards (especially going uphill).  Golfers will also need to use common sense like going straight up and straight down hills - going sideways on a hill could tip the caddy over.  Also, it is recommended to avoid going up steep hills unless you can steer the caddy safely with your hand (If you need to be a mountain goat to climb the hill, you will most likely need to hold onto the caddy firmly to avoid tipping over). Majority of non-remote electric caddies do not have an anti-tip wheel because they are designed for the golfer to walk behind it with your hand on the handle for steering. Non-remote caddies have been around for over two decades world-wide and is widely used in Europe.  Golfers in the U.S. tend to like the remote control caddies over the non-remote caddies.

How do I know if an electric golf caddy is too complicated for me or not?

Electric caddies do require some minimal technical understanding and there is a learning period. However, majority of golfers usually master the functionality within 1-2 rounds of golf.  In general, remote control caddies require a longer learning period than the non-remote models. While operating, golfers will need to be mindful of ponds, lakes, trees, cart paths, etc. to avoid damage to the golf caddy. 

Will the golf cart follow me?

There are golf caddies available with the follow feature. Please refer to the category "follow caddies" under shop by category on our main page to check out the caddies with the follow feature.  Follow caddies do require the golfer to switch between the follow mode and remot control mode or power assist mode in between holes. The follow feature is recommended to be used only in the flat part of the course such as the fairways with wide-open space.  In between holes (from green to tee and from tee to the fairway) golfers should use the remote control mode or power assist mode to avoid the caddy from falling off the cart path and/or hitting obstacles. 

What kind of golf bag should I use with the electric caddy?

Electric caddies are designed to be used with the standard cart bags.  Carry bags or stand bags with legs will cause uneven weight distribution and will not do well on electric caddies. Some golf caddy makers also sells golf bags that clicks into the cart for more stability. You can check them out under the category "golf bags" on our main page.

Do the electric golf trolleys come with battery and charger?
Yes. All of our electric golf trolleys include the battery and charger.

How long will the battery last before I need to replace it?
Under normal conditions, your SLA battery should be good for about ~100+ charges.  Lithium batteries are usually good for ~500+ charges.

How should I care for the battery?
The Battery supplied with your carts are one of the most advanced of its kind. However, batteries do have a certain life span even in normal use.

To prolong the life span of the battery, here are some helpful tips...

  • When you unplug the connectors from the main unit or from the charger to the battery, ALWAYS PULL THE CONNECTING PLUG TO UNPLUG. NEVER PULL AT THE CABLE TO UNPLUG. This might break the soldered connections of the wires to the pins inside the plug.
  • Before the first use of the battery, put it on charge for 24 hours even if the battery meter may show it is already charged.
  • For the first 3 outings, you may find your cart to be a little sluggish at the end of the round. This is normal.
  • Always recharge your battery as soon as possible within 24 hours after use.
  • Always keep your battery on charge between rounds of golf.
  • Never play more than 18 holes without fully recharging. You will discharge the battery below its designated voltage and damage it.
  • Do not drop the battery or the charger. Secure the battery in the trunk of your car when in transit.
  • Wipe your battery after each outing to keep it clean. Use a mild detergent and warm water. Do not use any high-pressure jet washer.
  • Remove the wheels every few months to remove debris that may cause the wheels to drag. Clean and lightly grease the spindle before putting the wheels back on.
  • Do not remove the screws on the battery tray. They are sealed with a silicone sealant to prevent water from getting into the controller underneath. If you loosen these screws for any reason, you must re-seal them with a silicon sealant.
  • A four hour round of golf played once a week for 12 months is equivalent to 4 years use of a lawnmower. So once a year, at least, thoroughly inspect your cart. If you notice any symptoms of wear, consult your service agent.
  • STORAGE: If you know that you will not be playing for at least a month or more, and you prefer not to leave your battery in charge, fully charge the battery. Remove it from the charger and store in a place where the ambient temperature is above 10 degrees and lower than 30 degrees celsius. Recharge it before your next round or every 3 months if it has not used.
  • The battery and the charger are unique and cannot be replaced with a regular battery or charger from a retail outlet. Please contact the cart manufacturer’s service agent before you try to replace the battery or the charger. Using an incompatible battery or charger may damage the cart and void your warranty.

I Accidentally drove my caddy into a water hazard, and it does not turn on anymore. What shall I do?

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE A BATTERY THAT HAS BEEN SUBMERGED, DOUSED IN WATER, OR HAS CRACKS IN THE CASE. A NEW BATTERY IS REQUIRED TO PREVENT FURTHER DAMAGE. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHARGE OR POWER ANY BATCADDY WITH A LITHIUM BATTERY THAT HAS BEEN DAMAGED OR GOTTEN WET. THIS COULD RESULT IN A FIRE AND CATASTROPHIC  DAMAGE!

Remove the caddy from the water as soon as possible! Do not attempt to re-power your cart (using the on/off button)! Carefully disconnect the battery and drain all water from the controller box compartment and quick dry the components with a towel. Completely let the controller dry out. If possible remove it entirely from the Caddy and place in a container/bag of rice for 48 to 72 hours. It is possible that it will take several days for your Caddy to dry completely. If a Caddy is powered back on before it is completely dry, remaining moisture can cause short circuits and system failure. Caddys may also not work even after completely drying. 
AGAIN, DO NOT TURN ON YOUR CADDY UNTIL THE DRYING PROCESS IS COMPLETE AND A NEW BATTERY AQUIRRED.

MOTOGOLF.COM AND MANUFACTURERS ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES INCURRED THORUGH USE OF WATER EXPOSED OR DAMAGED BATTERIES.  USE OF ANY UNAUTHORIZED BATTERY VOIDS ANY AND ALL WRITTEN AND EXPRESSED WARRANTIES BY THE MANUFACTURER.
