Features That Matter

Maneuverability

For the ultimate in maneuverability, you want a cart with a 360-degree front wheel. Carts with fixed front wheels sometimes struggle to make tight turns. Also be aware that some models are designed to follow you wherever you go, staying within a few feet at all times. If that’s problematic, consider a remote-controlled model that only goes where you tell it to.

For those who want a cart that turns with ease, consider Motocaddy M7 Remote and MGI Zip Navigator Remote. The Stewart Golf Q-Follow and X10 are other great options to consider.

Features

Some electric golf push carts can just get you from A to B while others follow you, tell you the GPS distance to the hole, link up your phone to the cart and have accessories to make your round more enjoyable.

The electric carts that did well in the category were MGI Navigator Remote, Stewart Golf Q Follow and Stewart Golf X10. 

Stability

For powered push carts, there are two primary stability considerations. The first is the ability to handle uneven and challenging terrain.

The second consideration is the cart’s ability to keep your bag upright when it is in motion. We found that some models don’t secure bags as tightly as they should. Avoid using a stand bag on electric carts if you can.

Golfers who want the best of both should look into the Motocaddy family, especially the M7 Remote and M5 GPS. Alphard eWheels Club Booster V2 will depend on what push cart you have for the V2 to attach to. The Stewart Golf Q-Follow also performed well if you have a cart bag.

Battery Life

One of two types of batteries is used in powered push carts: lead acid or lithium. In the carts we tested, we found that lithium batteries provide longer running life and can keep your cart rolling for 27-plus holes.

All models tested last 27-plus holes with some easily completing 36. Motocaddy M7 and Stewart Golf X10 both have plenty of juice to last 36 holes.

More Tips

There is a variety of features available. As with anything else, look for a cart that gives you what you need without overcharging for features you don’t need. The Best Electric Golf Push Carts have 360-degree rotation wheels, make turning on a dime effortless. If you use a stand bag, you’ll want to verify that the cart can hold your bag upright throughout your round. Look for a cart with adjustable handles to help ensure you can maneuver it comfortably when it’s not driving itself. When purchasing an electric push cart, verify the manufacturer has a local distributor. It makes getting your cart repaired or obtaining replacement parts easier.
