Electric Golf Trolleys - Choosing the Right One for You
Selecting an Electric Golf Trolley is a daunting task. With so many choices and little independent research available, how does one decide which trolley is the right one? Here are some tips to help guide you in that process.
Start by defining the features you want. Features come with a price tag – so early in the process, decide a price range that is comfortable for you. Research models available; see how their features match your needs and price range.
If you just want help in moving the clubs, you may be well satisfied with choosing from manually-controlled electric golf carts. If "arms free walking " and convenience is what you are after, Remote Control Golf Caddy may be what you are looking for. The remotes cost more; but the good news is that the price gap between manually-controlled and remote-controlled trolleys has lessened in recent years.
With a manual-control electric golf caddy, the cart is controlled from a panel on the cart handle. And because you need to be close to the trolley to advance it, freedom of movement is limited. With remote control, the golf caddy is controlled with a wireless device that is the size of a small TV remote. So you have more freedom of movement; but you'll need a safe place to carry the remote and where it won't interfere with your golf swing.
In starting to select your electric golf caddy, first, narrow the choices to either Manual or Remote Control Golf Trolleys. This will make the research faster and easier. When you've decided which of these paths you'd like to research, look at the following major factors: 1) Performance, 2) Control Features, and 3) Drive System.
1. Performance – determines how well your electric golf caddy transports the clubs. Important parameters are hill Climb-Capability(in degrees of slope), Operating Range (the number of holes you can play on a single battery charge, and Carrying Capacity (maximum carry weight). For Range you may see something like 18-27 holes which, usually means 18 holes on hilly and 27 holes on flat courses. Unless you plan to play on flat courses only, I recommend you look at electric golf carts rated a minimum of 27 holes. Regarding Climb-Capability -- for hilly courses look for a cart rated at least 20 degrees; 30 degrees is better. Regarding Carrying Capacity – look for carts rated at least 15 lbs. more than the maximum weight of your bag & clubs.
Performance Factors – Factors that determine electric golf trolley performance are motor size - in Watts, battery power - in Amp-Hours (Ah) and cart/battery weight. For most courses a motor rated at 175 Watts should be adequate. Battery power can vary from ~20 Ah to ~ 40 Ah. For hilly courses look for batteries rated in the 30-40 Ah range.
2. Control Features: Below is a listing of the more commonly available control features. Usually the more you get, the more you pay. Look over these features, separate them into categories 1) "gotta have," 2) "nice to have" and 3) "don't need," and make your buying decision accordingly.
A. Basic control feature choices available in many Electric Golf Trolleys:
- Variable forward speed – Available on all
- Distance Advance - Allows the cart to be advanced in its current direction a pre-selected distance (e.g. 10, 20, or 30 yards). This is especially helpful around the green where, after you've taken your putter, you can automatically move the cart toward the next hole at the back of the green.
- Speed Memory – The cart returns to your pre-selected walking speed each time it is re-started.
- Cruise Control – The cart maintains same speed going up or downhill.
- Electronic Brakes – A feature to help avoid "run-away carts."
- Free-Wheeling – Enables disengaging power and operate like a push cart.
B. Basic feature choices available, generally, in Remote Control Golf Carts:
- Turning (Left and Right) – Controlled remotely
- Reverse Direction – Controlled remotely
C. Advanced feature choices available in Electric Golf Trolleys:
- Torque Control – Enables smooth starts and stops – less jerking
- "Smart Start" – Starts at pre-set conditions
- Descent Control – Controls the speed of the cart during descent
- Automatic Shut-Off – Automatically shuts off trolley when no command received in 40 seconds; prevents run-away.
- Electronic Tracking – Cart's wheels can be adjusted so that it tracks straighter under power.
- Programmable course settings – The power applied at turns can be programmed to fit the characteristics of the course being played.
- Programmable speed settings – Allows one to pre-program personalized speed settings.
D. Convenience Feature Choices available in Electric Golf Carts:
- Battery Charge Indicator – for "peace of mind"
- LED Displays – For a more "in control" feeling.
- Diagnostic Information – In case there is trouble
- Drive Wheels:
- The drive wheel(s) may be front or rear. Older golf trolley designs often had front- wheel drives. These tend to have more slippage going uphill; however on a positive note, they tend not to tip over backwards. For rear-wheel drive trolleys, a retractable anti-tip rear wheel is a must for even the slightest hills.
- Single or dual-drive wheels. Single drive wheels have less to control; however, power is generally limited to a single motor. Newer remote-control cart designs tend to be dual independent rear-wheel drive to enable the cart's turning to be controlled and have more power. Advances in control technology make coordination of independently powered wheels more affordable.
- Other Factors: When you understand and have considered these major purchase decision factors, then consider other factors such as those listed below:
A. Construction Design and Materials:
Look for sturdy, but lightweight construction Tubular steel frames are the most rugged, but also weigh more. An aluminum frame is lighter than steel, but dents more easily. A titanium frame is light and strong, but more expensive. Models made of anodized aluminum alloy frame with titanium finish might be a good choice for the occasional golfer. The golfer who is on the course every day may want to consider a steel or titanium frame.
B. Component Materials:
Steel bag supports are generally stronger and longer-lasting than those made of ABS or other plastic materials. Check out the bag supports and fastening straps. Adjustable supports and straps are more convenient than fixed supports. However, as a cost-cutting measure, some manufacturers have redesigned to fixed supports and bungee chords instead of straps.
C. Dimensions and Fold-ability:
Check folded, unfolded dimensions to make sure the cart will fit into your car, and how easy it is to setup and fold. Find a good match for your build and height. The handle height should be within comfortable reach.
D. Weight:
You'll want the trolley to be light enough to lift in and out of your car by yourself. So confirm the total weight of the cart including the battery.
E. Handle:
Consider on the handle shape & design. Select a handle that allows you to easily grab and operate the controls - especially if you are left-handed. Pay attention to where handle mounted controls are located (right, left, or center).
F. Wheels and Tires:
Wide tires tend to be more stable and are easier on the course. Pneumatic tires with treads will slip less on wet grass. Trolleys with quick-release wheels are easier to store and clean. Double-check to see if the cart can be easily pushed in a free-wheeling mode.
G. Accessories:
The cart you select has optional accessories. Some of these may be included with the cart, and, if the fall into the "gotta have" or "nice to have" categories, they have value to you and are worth taking into account in your buying decision. Try to visualize where you will attach each accessory before you buy. You may find the available attachment space to be limited.
H. Warranty:
Select a trolley with at least a one-year warranty. Higher-end (and higher priced) trolleys are likely to have a 2-year warranty on the frame. Better batteries come with 1-year warranty. Occasionally you will find a separate & longer-duration warranty for the motor.
I. After-Sale Service:
Customer service and technical support are also worth considering before buying your golf trolley. Check customer reviews to see whether the trolley is reliable and the dealer is reputable. Make sure that there is someone ready to assist you in case you need technical support. I have found that http://www.sunrisegolfcarts.com">sunrisegolfcarts.com provides a good selection, at excellent prices, and superb customer service.
Summary:
Having read this you now have the main ingredients for making a good informed decision about which trolley to purchase. Good Luck and Good Golfing!
