Really, really chuffed with my Go Kart.  

Outstanding customer service, stupidly I managed to break the scorecard protective cover off the top of the trolley - completely my fault remember.  I emailed them told them it had broke and I had a new one, the next day!

2 year warranty on the trolley, 1 year on the battery (18 hole battery does last 27 holes though)

If it ever breaks they'll pick it up (free) lend you another one (free) until yours is repaired!

They are really quick as well compared to any powercaddy or motocaddy I've ever used when hiring on holiday.

All in all, buy one - get bright green or orange!

I bought a Go Kart with an 18 hole battery just after Christmas.  They emailed a few weeks later and said, because of the bad weather, the 2 year warranty wouldn't start until 1st april.

I bought it with an 18 hole battery - I've done 36 hole days four times with it this summer and it's still been going strong at the end.

They used to say buy one and you can use it and return it within 28 days if you're not completely satisfied, don't know if they still do.  Can't say fairer than that in my opinion.

Gavin, not sure you will get a 100% recommendation but will definitely get some differences of opinion.

With reference to Stew's reply, this is a link to Mike's Smart Caddy which is pretty much ready to launch I think.

Another one recommending Go-Kart, had mine for over a year now. Chris I did exactly the same with the scorecard holder on mine, but I haven't bothered replacing as I didn't use it anyway.

Customer service is top notch, one thing to note on the 2 year warranty is that during the 2nd year the customer has to pay £20 to ship the trolley to and from Go-Kart, or if it's a small diy repair they will send the parts out to do it yourself.

Hi Mike, just had a look at youre website and have to say that I am pretty impressed!

However, having a Go Kart myself and knowing the customer service is top notch I would have to recommend them - not least as you could buy 4 Go Karts for the price of one that you have designed.

Good luck for the future though!

I bought a Pwerbug Sport x (x=36 hole battery) off fleabay for £130 brand new. Although controls are simple and basic it does well what is designed to do. It still pulls like a train after 18 holes on my home course which is extremely hilly.

I suppose it comes down to how much one wants to spend at the end of the day.

regards,

Michael.

I've got a motocaddy s3 and in my opinion its one of the best electric golf trolleys around and the most expensive at £399. Really depends on what your budget is.

The new Powakaddy Sport looks really nice. Looks like they've listened to all of the bad feedback about the Freeway II controls as they have put the roller wheel back to control the speed.�649 with a Litium not a bad price & only �429 with a 36 hole standard battery. All I need now is for my old Powakaddy Sport Digital to break!!Darren,I don't think even I could justify �1k on a trolley?
