Build yours out from scratch
You can build plenty of things in life from scratch: flat-pack furniture, a house, a car, and even something fun you use every time you play golf…
There’s a great satisfaction to be found in putting something together piece by piece knowing the end result was all of your doing, and electric golf trolleys are a fine example.
You may not be aware, but there are a lot of different components to consider when finding your dream trolley. From the size of it, to the latest tech, and electric trolley accessories too.
While we only have so much space to keep trolleys in the pro shop, we have a whole range available that we can source you. Any trolley you see on our website we can make available for you to pick up in the shop.
Join us as we help you consider all the different kinds of PowaKaddy trolleys we currently stock in the pro shop, and all the unique functionalities that distinguish them. Make your way through the PowaKaddy trolley flow charts below to find your dream electric trolley. It all starts with the kind of frame you’d prefer…
Electric trolley frame type?
The first thing you want to consider when buying an electric trolley is the kind of frame you’re looking for. PowaKaddy has three distinct electric trolley series, the budget-friendly FX range, the tech-accommodating CT range, and the remote-control capable RX range.
The FX series is totally built for simplicity and convenience. These trollies have a quick 1-step folding system whereby you can fold them and unfold them again in seconds, and they’re a lot lighter than their CT series counterparts. If you’re just dipping your toes in the world of electric trolleys and you’d prefer to stick to a budget, these trolleys are incredibly reliable.
The CT and RX series trolleys feature a similar design to the FX series but have a sturdier build that can support more technological capabilities. Let’s walk you through some of the individual models and the kind of tech that they come with…
Latest tech or functionality?
While the FX series trolleys such as the FX3 come with a simple, pleasing handle that displays your speed settings, the CT series trolleys come with a widescreen LCD display. All models are very user-friendly, the more premium models can display all sorts of features including virtual greens and hazards.
The FX3 is a nifty device that has all you need to get you smoothly around a golf course. The small display details which of the 9 different speed settings you’re moving along with, folds up in no time, and is very easy to plug in and charge.
The FX5 has a powerful 30V battery, and with both sporty styling and a 1-step folding system, this trolley is nothing if not convenient. While the FX3 has a 2.3” display, the FX5 has a slightly larger 3.5” full colour widescreen display that will help you see details in greater clarity.
All the models in the CT series can include PowaKaddy’s revolutionary EBS capability. Standing for Electronic Braking System, this feature automatically slows your trolley when you’re walking downhill to prevent your gear from picking up too much momentum and flying out of your reach.
Each trolley also has an adjustable handle that you can manipulate to your ideal height. With quiet, easy to charge CLICK ‘N’ CONNECT batteries, storing and recharging your trolley couldn’t be easier. So, what kinds of functionalities come with the more premium trolleys?
GPS functionality or not?
The first thing you’ll notice about PowaKaddy's line of trolleys is that plenty of them come equipped with high performance GPS. This allows your trolley to seamlessly know where you are and what course you’re playing, as well as offer you instant yardage readings to specific targets, including hazards and greens.
Models like the CT8 GPS and CT10 GPS have a ‘drag and drop’ function whereby you can place your finger on the virtual green to measure up where the flag is on the trolley with where it is in real life, giving you an even more reliable distance reading. We assure you, you’ll never get tired of looking at the glossy display and all the info at your fingertips!
The CT8, CT10, and CT12 trolleys all have GPS capabilities with slightly different features. The CT8 has a 3.5” horizontal screen while the CT10 benefits from PowaKaddy’s innovative portrait 3.5” touchscreen display. The CT12 has an even bigger 5” screen, giving you an excellent view over each and every hole you play.
If you’d rather not have GPS but you want to take advantage of the excellent CT series features including the Electronic Braking System (EBS) that helps your trolley from running away from you going down a hill, the CT6 will be the ideal trolley for you.
Remote control or not?
Not only do the latest PowaKaddy electric trolleys completely take the pressure off your bag, you can even nowadays have a completely hands-free experience. Certain trolleys including the RX and RX12 GPS come with a remote control handset that you can use to propel and turn your trolley from a distance.
Think how great it will feel to walk off a green having sunk a tricky putt to then have you gear walk alongside you to the next too. Who needs a caddy? The RX Remote trolley is an excellent trolley within its own right, but the RX12 GPS has all the bells and whistles.
Electric trolley accessories
Now that you’ve found the perfect trolley, it’s time for you to personalise it and make it your own. You’ll want to take advantage of all the handy electric trolley accessories that can make your time spent using your trolley even more enjoyable.
An umbrella holder is always handy to keep you playing comfortably in the rain, and with additional drinks holders and scorecard holders, you’ll always know where your gear is. If you’ve opted for a GPS-capable device you’ll want to protect your screen with a screen guard.
All of these trolleys are highly portable and suitable for golf at any time of year. With the winter months approaching you’ll want to get some rugged winter wheels to serve you on days when the terrain is particularly difficult to move on. These wheels can be swapped and exchanged in no time at all. Hot mitts are also highly recommended to keep you fingers feeling comfortable and ready for action on cold wintery mornings.
If you’re heading on a golfing holiday, a handy travel bag will keep all your gear safely in one place. Giving you complete peace of mind as you hop on flights and enjoy yourself abroad.
We’ve just thrown a lot of information about electric trolleys at you, so if you have any questions about them or you’d like to see them in-person, we’d be happy to assist you in the pro shop.
