Playing with a Caddy is a Luxury
Posted by S & Malmgren on 19th Mar 2019
Our summer club has a marvelous caddy program (Evans Scholars) and so we have long been spoiled "walkers". Few Florida golf courses have caddy programs. The CaddyTrek provides the ability to walk without having to push or pull a cart. My wife and I both use all the time. While I originally liked the "follow feature" I have found the remote control feature (where you send the cart out in front of you) is better. We both
highly recommend the CaddyTrek.

Absolutely amazing product. I no longer have to lug my gold clubs around the course. At my age, the Caddytrek not only made golf more fun, but it improved my game by restoring my energy after 18 holes!
Thank you CaddyTrek!
Posted by Brenda - NV on 19th Mar 2019
My husband and I can’t get enough of the Caddytrek. No more golf carts and no more lifting. It just follows us around the course no matter the terrain. What an amazing and helpful product. Thank you CaddyTrek!
No, they did not pay me to say that. It is just a wonderful product.

I was playing my first round with the CaddyTrek at the Red course of Fairchild Wheeler in Fairfield, CT. The first, ninth, tenth and eighteenth holes have slopes that are well in excess of the 25 degrees the CaddyTrek can handle in follow-me mode so I used the remote for #1. No difficulties with that and used the follow-me for the next next seven holes. Of course, I played like hell on the front 9 because I was too busy playing with my new toy :) I had finally gotten used to how to use the follow-me mode somewhere around the 6th or 7th hole.On 9 I had to use the remote as the hill is 35 to 40 degrees (literally) down and then up. On 10, same story except that part of 10 is steeper -- Yes, I had to (have to) use the remote and hold onto the CaddyTrek going up that slope but, even most of the drive carts cannot go up that without going to the paved path so no big deal. After 10 I was thinking that I could have just gotten one of the remote only ones and saved some money -- HOWEVER, you have to think about where the cart is going with the remote mode. From there until 18 the course is mostly gently sloping with one or two steep but short spots depending upon which parts of the fairway you hit the ball to on the tee shots. So, at the 11th tee I put it in follow-me mode. Walked to the ball and the clubs were right behind me with no thinking about it or concern at all for all of the next shots. At the 12th green I parked the cart at the close end of the green because the pin was in the back and there is a large bunker along the side of the green. Just made my birdie and was happy as I walked off the back of the green with the large bunker between me and the CaddyTrek. So, I took the remote off my belt and used it in remote mode to send the cart the 13th tee. Of course, you have to watch it and think about where it is going in remote mode whereas you do not have to think about it in follow-me mode. On the way I thought. Gee, what a bother. Why can they not make it so it automatically avoids the bunker and follows me from 50 yards away like it does from 15. A few seconds after I thought that I realized that within the last two holes of follow-me mode I was absolutely spoiled for life!! and started to laugh so hard that the other 3 guys thought I was going nuts.I have had it since last August. Already played a bunch of times this year (now May) and it is great. Never realized how much pulling or pushing a cart bothered my game and took my attention until using the CaddyTrek.Great product. Unless you are a bit slow it takes just 9 holes to get used to how it works. You stop at your ball, turn around and your clubs are right there. Play a few rounds with one to get used to how it follows you and you too will be spoiled for life. No, they did not pay me to say that. It is just a wonderful product.
I finally got my Dr. to let me start playing golf again...
Posted by R Ruffin - MA on 19th Mar 2019
I finally got my Dr. to let me start playing golf again, so I took the unit out this past weekend. I am happy to report that it performed great! No random L/R yawing and it kept up with me at a fast walk just fine. I am very pleased with the way it performed.
Great once you get the knack of it.
Posted by Ann Silver on 19th Mar 2019
Great once you get the knack of it. Relieves the pressure on the back from pushing or pulling. Only drawback is no storage, but can add cup holder and sand holder.
I am extremely satisfied with the Caddytrek
Posted by Dong on 19th Mar 2019
The Caddytrek, is everything I expected. It is so much better than the motorized caddy I was previously using. This unit is light, the battery last a round of 18 without any problem. I am extremely satisfied with the Caddytrek. I can not vouch for its durability since I have only owned it for a few months. I will comment on durability after a couple of years. My previous unit lasted three years after several repairs.
It is by far the best motorized golf caddy around!
Posted by J Berti on 19th Mar 2019
Before purchasing my Caddytrek R2, I had done quite a bit of research on the most popular models out there. I wasn't impressed with the look of what most people were buying, since most models looked very basic and boring. I came across an ad for the Caddytrek R2 and it immediately caught my eye. The candy apple red model looked great and I was very intrigued by its three modes of operation. Like most, it has the remote mode, but was interested me the most was the 'follow me' mode and the 'marching mode'. After viewing the videos, I was sold. I had to have this. For the price, which is very competitive, no other model out there had the features of the R2. I have had the unit now for one week and I have used it four times. I am very impressed with all three modes, and to be honest it has worked flawlessly. I am liking the follow me mode most, but also love to use the other two modes interchangeably during a round. I have not had any issues at all. In fact, I'd like to think it has actually helped improve my scoring as I feel more energized and not as drained the last few holes. I love this R2 and I would recommend it to anyone thinking of buying. You won't be disappointed!By the way, everyone at my club has asked me where I got this unit, it generates interest. It is by far the best motorized golf caddy around!
just use common sense and you'll really enjoy this cart
I called Motogolf.com® when I was researching different carts and they helped me to understand the different types of carts available on the market. They were extremely helpful as I never used an electric caddies before. I decided on the caddytrek and I'm very happy that I did. I love the follow feature which only a couple of carts have. The Stewart was a bit out of my price range so even though it seemed like much easier cart to use with the follow feature (with the Stewart XS9 follow, you don't have to push the button when you want the cart to stop or start following due to the neutral zone it has), I decided to go with the caddytrek. I'm very happy with the caddytrek. It is very simple to use and it follow me just as advertised. You need to be careful when going from one surface to another (i.e. grass to pavement/side walk, etc.), but just use common sense and you'll really enjoy this cart.
Love Them
Posted by J Parker - Colorado on 18th Mar 2019
We purchased two of the Caddytrek R2 golf caddies and love them. It makes walking 18 holes easy even at 6,000 feet elevation. The cart is sturdy yet light enough to put in in your car. I love the option of having the cart in front of you(marching mode) or in back of you (follow mode). The battery life is excellent. We have had no problems with it not making it through a round of 18 holes. There have not been any issues with power going up hills. You can control the speed as well.
Great Cart
Posted by Unknown on 18th Mar 2019
Great cart, I tried it for the first time this week. The follow mode is what I used most. It took me a few times to get use to connecting after shots. It had just rained and the cart had not problem with wet grass or hilly conditions. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to play golf and not worry about driving a remote or carrying a bag. I love to walk and these makes it incredibly easy.
This is the best golf bag cart out there
Posted by AZ Golfer on 18th Mar 2019
People! This is the best golf bag cart out there. I have tried others, and I have friends that have others, and this is the best one. It will follow you with ease, and I can change and use as a remote movement in front of me. I have 2 of these, and the golfers in my long time 4-some all have one now. Take it from me, don't waste your money on something else. Once you use or own one you will know why.
Very Happy with the Cart
Posted by Unknown on 18th Mar 2019
Just had my second game with my new Caddytrek and it went well. Very happy with the cart and it certainly lets me stride out, arms swinging and I finished the round feeling good ( well apart from crappy shots that is ;-)
Performs well on Hilly Courses
Posted by Dan on 18th Mar 2019
I used this cart on a hilly course and it performed very well. I would recommend using the remote control mode when moving down steep hills. On even and small hills the follow mode worked very well. The construction is excellent. Great cart for the price.

I think we have 4 or 5 CaddyTrek's at the club
Posted by Dave Jecklin - West Virginia on 18th Mar 2019
Hello CaddyTrek -- my buddies love Bertha but as much I walk hands free they still won't buy and continue to push. I think we have 4 or 5 CaddyTrek's at the club. I named it Bertha because when I screw up and turn head to talk which I do tooooo much of naturally the sensors lose alignment and "Bertha" gets pissed and stops. At least she does not get mad and run off with another man!!!!
"Is that thing following you?""
Posted by John W on 18th Mar 2019
"I started to write HATE IT to get more readers, but you'll only hate it -- if you don't like other golfers coming up to you and asking what the heck is that? Is that following you? I've had mine 2 seasons and have played my 43rd round of golf yesterday. I've played here in Washington and Canada. I average about 7 people asking me about it per round. The most is about 20 and then Marshall stopped me to ask for information about it. He told me its because players, who were within line-of-sight of me, were stopping play to watch it go by.
Because I'm in Seattle area, I can tell you if it rains or if you are on soggy grass going up hill, it will lose its grip on the grass. Also its true that around cell towers and other areas it can sometimes lose its mind. But if you stop, restart and walk slowly until it is back in the groove then you are fine. It really helps to understand how it works, so you walk within its limits. After more experience you can take advantage of its range finder to stop, hunt for balls, or to just avoid having to hit the button.
I can walk up to my ball, and then turn and hold my hand out 'in the right way' and the R2 will put the club in my hand...which is really cool.
I bought mine because my golf buddies are years younger and they can walk very fast. I would get to the next tee box out of breath from dragging my cart around. I initially wanted an electric hand grip, but after watching the videos -- I got the R2. It is the read deal and I totally enjoy it. I'm not paid to say this, but I have called the factory in NV and they were very help folks. If you are the type who enjoys walking the course like I do, then this is a great cart for the price.
If you get one, you might find yourself coming up with creative answers to the usual question: ""Is that thing following you?""

I LOVE IT!

I LOVE IT!! It works great, i love this, ,i can walk hands free with the follow mode, I highly recommend this.
WORKS AS ADVERTISED!
Posted by RCB on 18th Mar 2019
WORKS AS ADVERTISED! Played 16 rounds with the cart so far. Will run for 27/36 holes in good weather with no problems. Works as advertised. The follow-me mode does not work well while walking down hills. You must walk very slowly to keep cart from flipping over. I’m disappointed a seat is not available!
Overall, I think the unit is very worth it.
Posted by Richard James Boyle on 18th Mar 2019
I love CaddyTrek R2!! I received the unit as an early Christmas gift from my wife and I absolutely love it. I previously used a very well made push cart with a seat from The Founders Club, which performed well and is great in the rain, but it still required me to push and on my course at The Georgia Club, but it took away a small amount of my concentration from the game and caused me to hunch while I walked with it. I received the unit and almost immediately I could tell that the quality was much higher than anticipated. While I purchased a used unit, I think you would be hard pressed to tell the difference. It appears the previous owner took great care of it. It included the wireless remote control that clips on your belt or back pocket. I immediately upgraded the firmware using the firmware upgrade cable which came with the unit I purchased.
I tend to walk very quickly, and the unit has no trouble keeping up with me in “Follow” mode. This is by far my favorite mode. Initially, I was skeptical about having something constantly behind me, so I used “Marching” mode. However, this mode doesn’t quite keep the cart far enough in front of you for a fast walker like me (even after the firmware update) and I was not in love with walking the opposite direction to turn the unit. However, when playing in a foursome, this is still my mode of choice, since it slows down your pace just enough to keep up with the others. I purchased the cup holder as well as the sand bottle holder. I do not have an umbrella holder on the cart, since I instead just hold it in my hands if I need the umbrella while the cart follows me, but I may add one to keep the umbrella open while I hit. It accepts all of clic-gear’s bolt on accessories and uses the same size tubing.
The unit folds down incredibly small. The unit and my Callaway Org (I bought the bag after the cart since I knew I could now take everything with me!) fit in the trunk of my 2001 BMW 325ci convertible WITH the top down. This is something that I simply could not do with any other walking cart/caddy. The battery is extremely light, sits in a covered weatherproof well, and is attached to the cart with Velcro for an extra secure hold in case of tip overs due to carelessness. I have carelessly allowed the cart to tip into about 3 bunkers because I was using the remote control and talking with my friend instead of paying attention to the location of the cart. The cart emerged completely unscathed and I finished the round without a problem each time. I wish the charger worked faster. I also wish it included a car-charger, so I didn’t need to use a power inverter while I am in my car.
It takes around three (3) hours to fully charge after I play 27 holes on my home course (The Georgia Club). The unit can also be pushed if the battery dies completely, but it is not a great experience to push as that is not how it is designed to be used. Everyone who sees the cart loves it. There is another man in my club who has one and we have played together, but we have not linked our units as I do not think he has upgraded the firmware on his unit yet.
Their customer service is really second to none. Every time I have called (once to walk me through updating the firmware and the next to purchase a replacement clip for my remote that I sat on), I reached a person who knew what s/he was doing. They also informed me of the new “CaddyBelt” but I did not purchase that…yet!
Overall, I think the unit is very worth it. At my club, the cart fee is $23.50. This equates to around 69 rounds of 18 holes to recoup the cost of a new unit plus tax. In my opinion, this is 100% worth it if you play a lot of golf and enjoy walking more than riding, as I do, but don’t want to carry your clubs. I am a 1.5 handicap (fluctuates during the winter usually to 3 or 4), and I love this product. I believe that I play better when I walk with it and I most certainly have already recouped my money!
Great Product
Posted by Mike N. on 13th Mar 2019
I have really, really enjoyed my Caddytrek that I purchased through you. My only regret is I didn’t buy one sooner. I have played about seven round with it.
It's like playing with a Caddy
Posted by DD Leon on 12th Mar 2019
I bought the caddytrek about a year ago and I've been really happy with this cart. I used to use a clicgear push cart and I was getting really tired after about 13 holes. After switching to this cart, I'm able to have energy throughout my round. This has helped me reduce my handicap to single digits. I watch golf a lot on TV and always wanted to feel like I'm playing with a caddy. This caddy let's me feel like a PGA golfer. I highly recommend it.
Great Cart!

Fantastic Cart!
Posted by Mike - Calabasas, CA on 21st Apr 2017
I was very skeptical before I purchased this cart but now that I've played with it for a few months I can say that this is a fantastic cart! I've read some negative reviews about this cart during my research, but I decided to take a chance and I'm very happy that I did. I've been very impressed with its ability to follow me on the golf course. I haven't followed any areas of the golf course that it cannot follow, except for areas where there are extreme shrubs, plants, etc. I even ran slowly to see if the cart will follow and it did just fine. You just need to follow some common sense to make it a pleasurable experience. For example, you cannot make a sudden 90 degree turn and expect the caddytrek to still know where you are. You have to put the clip the remote onto the back of your belt and make sure that the shirt is not hanging over it to give it the best signal. The largest button on the remote is what you need to press to start/stop the cart so it is very easy to find, even behind your back. You can easily switch from the follow mode to the remote control mode. The remote has a range of up to 85-90 yards so you can easily switch to the remote when you near the green and guide it to the next tee box after you grab your putter. Key is to walk normally on the golf course and this cart will follow you like a caddy. The battery life is pretty good. I've played up to 27 holes so far and it still showed about half of the battery left on the indicator so looks like this has some range. I had a problem with the remote once and when I called the customer service at Caddytrek, they quickly replaced so I was very happy with the warranty/customer service. Once in a while I use the marching mode where you can put the cart in front of you. I still like the cart behind me but it's a nice feature to have. Motogolf included some free accessories when I called them so I got a great deal on this incredible cart. I'm really happy I purchased the caddytrek as it has improved my health significantly since I walk all the time now. Thanks so much for a great product!
CADDY TREK, DOESN'T FOLLOW WELL,
Posted by PREVIOUS ROBOCADDY OWNER on 24th Jun 2014
PRODUCT IS HANDY, FOLLOWS ONLY WELL ON LEVEL WIDE OPEN SURFACE, NOT GOOD ON HILLS UP AND DOWN OR SIDEWAY, IF YOU WALK TO FAST EVEN A BIT THE CADDY TREK WILL LOSE YOU, MORE POWERFUL IN FORWARD MODE WHEN USING REMOTE TO CONTROL BUT WHEN IN FOLLOW THE CADDY IS RUNNING BACKWARDS WITH VERY LITTLE TORQUE AND THIS NEEDS UPGRADE. 5TH WHEEL BREAKS EASILY PLASTIC NEEDS IMPROVEMENT
Pure Enjoyment
Posted by Marvin (California) on 19th Aug 2013
I love to golf, but couldn’t afford a caddy. Renting golf carts was getting to be too much. With the CaddyTrek, I not only get excerise now and save money, but I get more pure enjoyment for the game.
Absolutely Amazing!

Very Very Impressive
Posted by Neil S on 16th Apr 2019
Yes this is expensive but it really makes playing golf a pleasure and even more fun.
All the standard features are excellent but the follow feature is very special. On the fairway it so relaxing walking along and talking to your partner knowing that your trolley is following faithfully behind.
If this product proves durable ( which it should for the price ) then I will be absolutely delighted with the purchase.
Love it Love it!

Even my worst shots are forgot the moment my X9 follow springs to life.
Adds a whole new dimension of fun to a game I already love.
Every self respecting gadget freak has got to get one.
Changing Your Enjoyment of the Game
Posted by Dean on 16th Apr 2019
Play on a very hilly course and having played just a few rounds with the X9 Follow it's completely changed every round. So much easier to get around and feel almost like you now have a caddie for each round (without the technical help though) helping you enjoy the game so much more. One of my best every golf purchases.
Super Piece of Kit
Posted by Graham on 16th Apr 2019
This is my 2nd Stewart trolley, the first being the X9 Remote. I am so impressed with the service and product quality. The X9Follow is ingenious and whilst somewhat more expensive than the competition, it makes up for it in overall quality, responsiveness and ease of use. It took me one round to get used to the follow mode and has made every round since, very enjoyable.

THIS MEANS ALSO - THAT MY GOLF LIFE HAS BEEN EXTENDED SEVERAL YEARS
ALL DETAILS AND FEATURES HAVE SURPRISED ME TOTALLY WILD
Keep Walking
Posted by Cathy J on 16th Apr 2019
After I was advised that my back was too fragile to carry a golf bag, I began to use a battery-powered cart. I received one from a friend who could no longer use it and it helped me maintain a level of fitness that would not be possible if I had to ride in a cart. When I needed to replace it, I accidentally stumbled upon the Stewart Golf products and became smitten with the X9Follow model. You will NOT be disappointed. This is a British product that is well-engineered and well-built. It is also FUN! Yes, it is a bit pricey, but it will allow me to walk and play golf for a long time to come. I had to get a "heavier" bag so that the cart performs more efficiently, but I just swapped my carry bag for my old tournament bag. I consider it well worth the money. I ordered mine at http://motogolf.com, one of the U.S. distributors. They were exceptional to deal with.
Sturdy
Posted by Jerry S on 16th Apr 2019
After a year all I have to do is grab the remote and battery and go. I'm so surprised how long a charge lasts on the battery and remote. I can play 18 holes and the battery is still 60% charged.
I also can go two months without charging them both and they only need 15 minutes to charge to full capacity. Wished I'd last as long as the battery after 18 holes of play. I have the X9 Follow by the way. It's worth every expensive penny I paid for it.
One of the best bits of golf kit I have used.
Posted by Chris N on 16th Apr 2019
I’ve been playing golf at a high level for over 50 years and I would say that the X9 Follow is the one of the best bits of golf kit I have used.
So far, it’s been excellent. It takes a bit of getting used to but once you’ve got the hang of it, it’s a joy.
I have back and elbow pain that, over the years, has stopped me from playing but with this trolley I can walk upright and not have the strain on my arms that I used to get steering my old electric trolley. It’s a bit like having a caddy to do all the hard work.
However, the lack of an umbrella holder and a gimballed drinks holder, like almost all other electric trollies have available, is a real shame. I can’t believe that Stewart sell a, relatively expensive, umbrella holder and then tell you that it shouldn’t be used to hold an open umbrella!! You are advised to only use the follow feature in open spaces so in tight spaces, if it’s raining, you have to steer and control the speed of the trolley, which can take both hands, while somehow holding your umbrella. Come on Stewart Golf, sort this out.
I haven’t had any problems with the trolley although I have seen a number of reviews critical of its reliability and of customer support, I guess only time will tell for me.
In summary, I love it and if I can have a drinks holder (I believe they have one planned) and an umbrella holder that’s fit for purpose I’ll love it even more.
Game Changer
I had been getting quite fatigued walking 18 holes pushing a cart on my hilly course in the South Georgia heat. I had started riding in a cart, which defeated the health benefits of walking 18 holes 3 times a week. I have used my new Stewart X9 follow 3 times now, and found the learning curve extremely easy. It works as advertised! True, it is rather expensive, however you do get what you pay for! I'm a fan!
Stewart X9 Follow
Posted by Richard K on 16th Apr 2019
The Stewart X9 Follow is the best trolley on the market, I've tried many trolleys over the years and the X9 Follow is head & shoulders above the rest! I used to really struggle playing 18 holes because of my health but now I'm not walking as far as I can send my trolley anywhere on the course! + it looks fantastic - a proper head turner! Just wish it could take my shots for me!! Lol
Fantastic
Posted by Bob on 16th Apr 2019
I have had my X9 for around 3 weeks and I think it’s fantastic. If you want to walk and not have to carry your bag this is the best. The follow feature makes all the difference as does the sturdy design and performance. With the follow, you just walk and can forget about cart unlike other electric carts where you have to steer them either by hand or remote. This is the closest thing you will ever see to having a full time caddy. Equally important, it will go up the steepest hills with no problem. You have to learn when and how to use the different features, but it’s really not hard. I think the X9is worth every penny.
Love It But...
Posted by Joseph P on 16th Apr 2019
I purchased my X9 follow middle of last season. Living in West Virginia means I play hilly courses. The X9 handles the steepest hills by weaving lef and right. While this works very well it’s the cause of my only complaint; the drink holder. When the X9 weaves the drink holder falls off. If you don’t keep an eye out for this you end up without a drink and have to walk back to find the holder (and maybe you drink.) This is the only thing I don’t like about the X9. I have tried every type of bottle and cup that I own and none of them are safe from falling out or the holder itself from fall off. I would redesign where the holder is located as being on the end of the push handle is why it waves around so much. Try using a hanging net sitting in center, between the two hand grips, as that is where I now sit my drinks. I modified that space using a net tied in the space and that works great. I also purchase a small blue tooth speater which I hang on the left hand clip to play music while playing golf. My X9 last 36 holes in a day with no problem and still has power leftover. It would be great if there was a USB outlet which could be powered from the battery. Over all I am very happy with the purchase and recommend it to all the other golfer who stop me and ask about it, which happens a lot.
Like having a real caddie

I've been saving up to buy this fantastic cart that I saw about a year ago while playing. In March, I noticed a huge price drop (~$500). I jumped at the opportunity before they raised it back up. When I called Motogolf, they were very helpful in answer all my questions. I have been playing with it for a couple of weeks now and it is as great as I imagined. I just walk down the fairway and play golf like I have a real caddy standing next to me. I wish the Stewart X9 can tell me which club to hit :-)
KEEP WALKING
Posted by Cathy Jefferson on 22nd Jul 2018
After I was advised that my back was too fragile to carry a golf bag, I began to use a battery-powered cart. I received one from a friend who could no longer use it and it helped me maintain a level of fitness that would not be possible if I had to ride in a cart. When I needed to replace it, I accidentally stumbled upon the Stewart Golf products and became smitten with the X9Follow model. You will NOT be disappointed. This is a British product that is well-engineered and well-built. It is also FUN! Yes, it is a bit pricey, but it will allow me to walk and play golf for a long time to come. I had to get a "heavier" bag so that the cart performs more efficiently, but I just swapped my carry bag for my old tournament bag. I consider it well worth the money. I ordered mine at http://motogolf.com, one of the U.S. distributors. They were exceptional to deal with.
STURDY
Posted by Jerry Strong on 22nd Jul 2018
After a year all I have to do is grab the remote and battery and go. I'm so surprised how long a charge lasts on the battery and remote. I can play 18 holes and the battery is still 60% charged.
I also can go two months without charging them both and they only need 15 minutes to charge to full capacity. Wished I'd last as long as the battery after 18 holes of play. I have the X9 Follow by the way. It's worth every expensive penny I paid for it.
Follow Feature is Awesome!
Posted by John - San Diego, CA on 30th Apr 2017
I've had the Stewart X9 Follow for about 3 months now and have truly enjoyed it. The Follow feature is fantastic. I really enjoy walking but was getting exhausted after about 13 holes. With the Stewart X9 Follow, I can go a whole round and still have energy left. I love walking down the fairway and not having to push the cart uphill. When I get to my ball, I just put the remote control on the caddy and hit my ball. Then I just grab my remote and start walking again. It's really made my golf much more enjoyable. When I reach the green, I usually grab my putter and use the remote control function to move my cart near the next tee box. Then when I finish putting, I just walk over to the next hole. I highly recommend this cart!
Best golf related purchase in a long time
Posted by Happy in South Carolina on 1st May 2016
I've had my X9 follow around a month and have used it through 7 rounds. It has made golf even more enjoyable and is very easy to use. I play on a hilly course and it does fine up and down hills on cruise or follow modes. It's internal automatic breaking walking in front of it downhill on follow mode is awesome. It functions great and looks really sleek, high end. I was worried that its use would distract me, negatively affecting my game and time on the course with my friends. But that is simply not the case and is actually the opposite. I haven't tested how many holes it will go on one full charge, but I don't usually walk more than 18 holes in a day anyway. I walk 5.2 miles for 18 holes at my course with plenty of hills and it has no problems as far as function and battery life. It gets a lot of attention (some envious!) at my club. I definitely recommend adhering to the manual's suggestions on when and when not to use to the follow me feature mainly for good care and optimal on course performance of the trolley.
Cons: Price, especially when compared to other similar feature trolleys. Accessories are also pricey. Although it fits easily in my 4 door sedan trunk, it's bulkier when folded down for transport compared to others. With only 7 rounds in, the tire tread shows minimal wear already.
Overall, despite the hefty price, it is well worth it. I've seen other trolleys in person, some with the follow feature, all were less expensive; and I'm glad I bought Stewart and would do it again. Some owners of other trolleys that I've spoken to have had stability, performance, and reliability issues. None of those trolleys look as good or seem to perform as well (at least 1 month in) as the X9. I had 2 owners of different trolleys admit they would've bought Stewart but wanted to spend less. This is an example of "you get what you pay for".
Walking Golf Fun
Posted by Holly (McDonough, GA) on 8th Feb 2016
I purchased the Stewart X9 Follow recently, golf is fun again. I love walking but carrying a bag was too hard and pushing a cart was tedious. Both my husband and I now walk the course, such fun together!!
My Handicap index dropped from 18.3 to 13.8...
Posted by Unknown on 28th Oct 2015I purchased the Stewart X9 Lithium Follow about a year ago.
I did not begin playing golf more than a few time a year until I retired and I had never walked a course.
With two new knees and the need for exercise, I bought the XIX, which I call “Mattie the Caddie”.
Mattie has created a new problem at our club, it’s call “cart envy”, from the comments I hear, he will not be alone on the fairways here in SC much longer.
What I like about the XIX is the simplicity of it’s operation, nothing about it takes away for the game of golf, only adds to it’s pleasure.
From the time you make your shot, all you are thinking about as you walk up the fairway is how to play the next shot.
I can play 18 holes much faster than using a cart and my handicap index as dropped from 18.3 to 13.8, I think that is all due to the time to concentrate on shot selection.
I don’t know how Stewart could have improved on the XIX’s design, ease of operation or mechanics.
The good walk is no longer spoiled.

This is a very well engineered caddy and I've really enjoyed using it. All my friends are amazed at how great it works and so much superior than the Bat Caddy I used to have. The Bat Caddy did what it was supposed to do (carry the bag) but the rubber thread on the tires kept coming off. I wished someone would've told me about the MGI from the beginning when I was looking for an electric cart. I'm really enjoying playing with it.
Costco MGI had defects
Posted by Karen on 2nd May 2019
I initially purchased the MGI Zip Navigator from Costco earlier this year. The cart had trouble going right so I returned it and got a new one, but the new cart I received had the same problem. I like the Navigator so I returned it and ordered one from Motogolf.com®. The new cart I received worked perfect with no defects. I highly recommend this cart. The staff at Motogolf is very knowledgeable about all the carts on the markets. I highly recommend them as well!
Very Pleased
Posted by Pat on 1st May 2019
Very pleased. Works as expected. Couldn't be happier.
The Zip Navigator is absolutely awesome.
Posted by Marni on 19th Mar 2019
Just used it for the first time and was pleasantly surprised how quickly I got used to it. It is very easy to maneuver and stop. I found out I still need to be careful on steep hills to steer up and down the fall lines. If your manual push cart will tip on a certain sidehill traverse, there's no magic here that prevents that, however, I don't have to worry about having to navigate the cart down the safer way because I don't have to go with it, and, it will catch up with me quickly! I (and my back) am thoroughly pleased with this purchase, and would recommend it to anyone looking to get into an electric caddy.
MGI is the way to go
Posted by James W. - California on 13th Mar 2019
I purchased the MGI through Motogolf about a month ago and I LOVE IT!! I was deciding between the MGI and Bat Caddy and decided to go with the slightly more expensive MGI Zip Navigator due to the gyroscope technology. It was the right decision. The quality is superb and the 2 year warranty made me feel a lot better in case something happened to the caddy. So far so good, no issues. People always stop me on the course and ask me about the caddy. I was worried since I play on a hilly course but the caddy has not tipped over once. You just need to slow down the speed when going down steep hills. I love the small details that MGI put into this cart such as the remote control holder on the frame of the cart and the built in anti-tip wheel which extends out to prevent the cart from tipping over backwards when going uphill. Overall, I am very happy with my decision and highly recommend this cart.
Electric is the way to go - and this is a good one
Posted by M Brown on 11th Mar 2019
I have used it for 6 months and love it. The plastic clip on the remote broke so be careful putting it on your belt. Otherwise, this thing is great. The battery lasts well over a round though I charge it every round as they recommend. I have played 27 holes and it still said it was fully charged. It folds easy. The battery comes off before picking up (the heaviest item). I now don't worry about how heavy my bag is because I'm no longer carrying. I never used a push cart, but this is really convenient. It works in the rain. In fact, walking down slippery slopes is great, because the cart goes no faster than you set it, so it helps brace you. The gyroscope keeps it on line. the remote works great and from far away. I recommend you keep it close and if you put it in your back pocket, aim the buttons out so you don't turn it on. About 5 of us at our club have this cart.
Great product
Posted by Jeff K on 8th Mar 2019
I recently received my MGI Zip Navigator and have had the opportunity to use it for 3 rounds of golf. It is a great cart. Easy to use and very sturdy. We have a few hills on my home course and it handles them easily (and saves my back from not having to push a cart up the hills). It is well worth the price. The staff at motogolf is very responsive as is the MGI customer service if you have any questions.
Get the Remote and Gyroscope and Umbrella Holder Extender!
Posted by Don from Florida on 13th Feb 2019
I have the MGI Zip Navigator and I absolutely love it. I was really hesitant to get the remote control but I am extremely glad I did. I usually play 27-36 holes and this caddy is a game changer. The remote control is very easy to use even for an oldie like me (I'm 65 years old). I got the hang of using the remote right away. I use the remote much more than I thought I would. The gyroscope is great in keeping the cart tracking straight. The buggy is made with excellent quality.
If you decide to go with the non-remote, I would highly recommend purchasing the umbrella holder extender. I use the umbrella holder all the time to stay cool under the hot sun. My umbrella sits almost too low. I never thought the shaft of the umbrella was too short.
Overall, I highly recommend the MGI Zip Navigator!
I highly recommend
Posted by James K on 10th Feb 2019
I have been using my MGI Zip Navigator for the last several months. It has proven to be extremely reliable providing excellent performance across a wide range of terrain. It has aple power to climb hills and maintains control while going downhill. Using the remote control is very intuitive and easy to use. The battery packs a lot of power and is very easy to attach and remove. The cart folds and unfolds quickly and easily. For anyone considering purchasing a battery operated bag cart, I highly recommend buying a MGI Zip Navigator.
WORTH 2 HANDICAP SHOTS!
I bought the Zip Navigator and what a great decision that was. Now I walk from shot to ball and from shot to green while my remote-control buggy heads over to the next tee. It's easy to use, copes with a couple of rounds between charges, is light and packs away easily, and looks good too. The service from MGI is second to none, which that means peace of mind.
ONE HAPPY CUSTOMER
Posted by John Tolmie on 10th Feb 2019
I just received the "lug" in the mail and just have to say a big thank you. I have now happily owned 2 MGI Navigator buggies in a row and bought several accessories along the way to compliment them. It is a fabulous to see really good customer service applied when I needed a small part that I was missing. Well done!
IT WILL CHANGE YOUR GAME
Posted by Curtis Mackenzie on 10th Feb 2019
I purchased a Zip Navigator a few weeks ago and it's amazing! I have carried my golf bag up to this point as I hated having to pull a buggy, but with the Zip buggy it's like having a professional caddy. It save me both time and energy and my HCP has dropped as a result of better. I promise it WILL change your game! AND its tiny in the boot of my car.
Glad I have it.
Posted by Hiimmel on 11th Jan 2019
I've owned the MGI Navigator for 8 months and I am happy with it and can recommend it to would-be owners. Features work as described; however, I would recommend some design improvements and an additional accessory. These I offer as improvements, not as criticisms. First, the ON/OFF Speed Control Button should be repositioned. I've had players lean on the handle and inadvertently press the button and start the caddie. And, the speed control is much too sensitive, especially when I'm trying to adjust it on the go. I've had little use for indicators 6,7,8, and 9: the Battery Level Indicator, the Distance Mode, the Unit Measurement and Remote Battery Level indicators. These indicators are tiny and difficult to read in the daylight. The remote control storage clip, I found awkward to use, but it's ok. I've have had to add a piece of velcro to the GPS holder to better secure my GPS, especially when traversing bumpy fairways. Finally, I would like to see an additional accessory such as a larger holder or bag to hold items picked up on the course, e.g., paper wrappers, found golf balls, broken tees, etc.
Some bad, some good
Posted by BrianL on 5th Jan 2019
I was going to post a review when I first got my MGI Navigator, but waited until I played 30 rounds and had some significant experience with the cart.
It's not going to be a good one.
The MGI Navigator appears to be of excellent quality and better looking than most carts of this type. There are some clever engineering features, such as the way some of the accessories connect and the way the wheels have different "slots" for different uses. Customer Service is also, excellent.
The battery life is extraordinary. I can easily get 36 holes and the battery meter still hasn't reached the "low battery" icon on the screen.
That's the end of the good.
Despite clever engineering for attachments, the basic engineering falls flat and fails to accomplish the basic goals of providing a stable golf cart.
After 30 rounds, I still haven't played a round, without at least 1 "tip over". The stability of the cart is not as presented.
The so-called "gyro" is a detriment, in my opinion ... it simply doesn't work. The cart needs a counter-weight near the front wheel or needs a longer wheelbase. I suspect counter-weight and wheelbase were compromised, to made the folder package, smaller.
The "wheelie" bar on the back, is a pain. It's not long enough to prevent tip overs and there's no simple nor clean way to adjust it's length.
The tires are too "hard" and don't have sufficient depth or knobby enough "tread". The tires spin on very dry surfaces and spin on wet surfaces ... they're ok on the "in between" conditions.
Just a minor point, but the "white" wheels on my cart are now stained, in spite of washing/rinsing them, after every round.
This may be a great cart in Australia, but not capable for the courses I play. I'm using the cart in Florida, so the hills/grades are far from server, but I can't keep the cart upright.
If I had it to do over, I would have bought a different cart.
Love at first round
Posted by Gregg on 27th Dec 2018
Just played my first round with a zip navigator. Could not be happier. Handles rough terrain without tipping, easy to steer and fun to play with. Loved walking the course without pushing a cart. Sturdy quality, great design and does exactly what they say it will do. Could not be happier (and I always have a complaint - ask my wife).
Fantastic Service from MGI
Posted by Kathy - San Francisco, CA on 9th Oct 2018
My drink holder broke and the MGI folks took care of it right away. I would highly recommend this company! The cart is fantastic and everyone at my club is jealous of my new toy. Thanks MGI!
Go with Remote and Gyroscope
Posted by John on 23rd Sep 2018
I wanted to write a review since I debated for a long time whether I should go with a remote or non-remote. Speaking to the knowledgeable team at Motogolf really helped me to solidify my decision to go with the remote model and with MGI Zip Navigator. I have friends who has the Bat Caddy models and they have trouble keeping the cart straight. They constantly have to adjust right or left to keep the cart on path. This was the main reasons why I chose the Zip Navigator due to the Gyroscope technology and it was a great decision. I've played with my Zip for several rounds now and it is a fantastic engineering innovation. I also recommend going with the remote control since it will give you the freedom that non-remote does not. I usually grab my driver and send my cart out about 30-40 years into the side of the fairway. After I hit my drive, I start walking and engage my cart with the remote control. When I reach the green, I grab my putter and wedge and send my cart to the next hole. Purchasing this remote control electric cart has really changed my golfing experience. Thank you Motogolf for helping me with my decision.
“Simply “Best In Class”
Posted by S. Darcy on 1st Jun 2018
I purchased (2) - MGI Zip Navigators on April 13, 2018. After spending a lot of time over the last year researching the various brands, speaking with several friends who own electric carts I finally made a decision.
My wife & I are members of a local CC located in the Sacramento area. Our course has some steep inclines but an otherwise walkable course. Part of our criteria was the need for a cup holder, an umbrella holder and something to secure an iPhone. The umbrella was to protect of the hot sun, the iPhone is where I use an app to enter scores, get yardages, etc.
Most importantly was the overall quality of the product and the ingenious industrial design elements. In a side by side comparison with all other carts Ive seen, the MGI clearly stands out above all others. It has proven to be very aesthetically pleasing and extremely user friendly. I would recommend this particular cart without hesitation. I simply could not be more impressed.
Finally a deserved shout out to Jan at Motogolf.com®. She was extremely helpful during the purchase as well as with technical information.
Fantastically Designed Cart!! I Highly Recommend it!
Posted by Mike - Orange County, CA on 28th May 2018
I don't normally post reviews but I purchased the MGI Zip Navigator few months ago and it is a terrific remote control golf caddy. I play on a golf course with many steep hills and rolling hills and fairways. Few of my fellow golfers have remote control golf carts, but they all complain about the cart not going straight. They constantly have to adjust the caddy to go straight using the remote control as they walk down the fairway. When I called Motogolf.com® to inquire about different remote control carts, they told me about a cart with a Gyroscope technology which keeps the golf cart going straight no matter how sloped the fairway is. I am very happy to have purchased the MGI Zip Navigator. It has a fantastic design which other carts do not have (e.g. remote control holder and GPS holder are built into the cart). The anti-tip wheel is also built into the cart and it folds underneath the caddy when the cart is folded. The anti-tip wheels on the other remote control caddies I've seen has to be connected to the cart which makes it difficult to remove when you need more space in the trunk of the car. The front wheel of the Zip Navigator swivels and is also lockable (if you don't want it to swivel). I prefer the wheels to swivel as it give it more nimbleness on the golf course. When the MGI Zip Navigator is folded, the front wheel also tucks under the cart which make it very compact.
The battery is also designed nicely as it clicks onto the cart unlike the other carts I've seen where the battery sits on the cart with a velcro strap.
The 2 year warranty is also nice since most of the other carts only come with one year warranty.
Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and everyone at my course is planning on buying it when their cart dies.
Zip navigator review
Posted by Chris on 20th May 2018I purchased the navigator about 2 weeks ago and I am 100% satisfied ,wasn't sure I would need a remote so I started to get the x5 ,but decided that might as well get it in case ,and I'm glad I did ,it is very useful I use both through out my rounds ,also I ha e some pretty steep terrain and the power and traction this thing has is shocking ,and battery is plentiful, I would but it again. In a heartbeat ,best looking electric trolley at my club,

Very Impressed & Pleased
Posted by Dave O., Newport Beach, CA on January 9th 2015
Took my X4R out today for the first time and I am very impressed and pleased by its performance. I got the hang of the remote and the manual controls within a few holes of play. My playing partners were amused and impressed by my maneuvering the cart around the green toward the next tee as I went to put. It tracked a little to the left and I think I was able to correct it as soon as I got home by your instructions.
To say that I am pleased with the purchase is an understatement. I have arthritic knees and pulling or pushing a cart causes great discomfort so I have been riding. It’s much more enjoyable to simply walk along next to or behind the cart and have the motors do the “heavy lifting” for me. My knees are still sore after play, but I can live with that, considering the exercise I’m getting by walking, rather than riding, to say nothing of the cost savings over renting a riding cart each time I play. I figure that I will have paid off the investment of the cart in just a few months of play, and save money each round after that. My wife likes that idea.

Such Good Value
Posted by Dirk V., Fairfield, CT on October 14th 2014
I have been using the X4 R since June 2014 and have had no problems- has helped my golf game- no longer to I have to pause to catch my breath after going up a hill (Had previous used a very good 3 wheel push cart)- the remote is great to have - works well over 100 yards away- This cart represents such good value I have purchased a second one to take to Norway

Field Testing Results
Posted by Ed, Michigan on October 11th 2014
It nearing the end of the golf season here in midMichigan, so thought I would write to you with some "field testing" information.
I have walked over 2500 holes of golf, about 550 miles, and everyone of them with my X4R. Our home course is quite hilly and there are few cart paths and a lot of long rough. The X4R has stood up to this in an amazing fashion.
Just thought you might want to know!

You guys are fabulous!
Posted by Gordon S., San Rafael, CA on July 27th 2014
I only wish every company I deal with was as responsive as Bat Caddy.
One often finds fabulous products with poor customer service or fabulous customer service with inferior products. Much like my golf game the driver and putter seldom work in harmony but at Bat Caddy they do.
You guys are fabulous. Thank you for your attention to date.
Just to put it in perspective if I were ever to get divorced my wife can have the dog but I will fight for my Bat Caddy!

X4R which is wonderful....
Posted by Ed L., Mason MI on July 17th 2014
.....I have had the X4R, 2014 model, since April, and after a slow start to our golf season here in Mid Michigan, things picked up quickly. Both my wife and I are retired and we are both walkers....but she is considerably younger than I so still likes to carry her bag, even though I have the old X3 stored in the basement.
As of mid July, I have played about 2,300 holes on a fairly hilly golf course with little in the way of cart paths, so all on grass, mostly deep except for the fairways which start about 100 yards from the tee box. I have been very pleased with a number of the features of the X4R.
First, the battery life is incredible, and I have the standard AGM 12 volt system. I have 2 batteries which I switch each day. After 18 holes of up and down hills, there is plenty of juice left. (I have a voltmeter connected to track charge state, and not just rely on the leds on the handle of the caddy.)
Second, the reverse feature is very useful when one over-shoots his ball because it is hidden in the rough. One thing which might be added to the manual...don't use reverse at a higher speed than about 2 clicks and then try to stop it....tends to tip over. I have learned to slow it down before stopping it fully.
The remote is simple and effective. The on/off switch is a very nice feature for those of us who don't pay attention and put the remote in a pocket, go into the restaurant/pro shop, and accidentally hit a button!
The front wheel design is very good compared to the X3...doesn't clog up with grass and is relatively easy to clean.
The unit tracks very well and the steering system using the 2 motors is excellent.
So, over-all, I am very pleased with this caddy.
Finally, and I haven't had need to use it, your support team is outstanding, especially Ron Z who helped me a lot with some problems with the electronics on the X3. It was because of this experience that I quickly decided to get the X4R. I look forward to seeing what new models incorporate as new features.

Update on My 8/8/12 Review: Bat Caddy is Still the Best!
Posted by Jim Guthrie on July 2nd 2014
I purchased my X4R cart on July 15, 2010, so it has been almost 4 years now, and it is still the best golf equipment purchase that I have ever made. The X4R is the best designed cart on the market. If you look at their competitors: Cart-Tek, Spitzer and the re-designed BagBoy carts, they look so similar to the X4R design, it is evident that Bat Caddy is clearly the innovator in the industry, with a lot of copying of their design.
I love my X4R. It is dependable. light weight, powerful and folds up quickly into a small size, at a very reasonable price. What I love most about my experience with Bat Caddy is their outstanding customer service. Whenever I have had a problem with my cart, whether in warranty or out of warranty, Bat Caddy has been enthusiastic and proactive in resolving my problem as quickly as possible.
They truly care about their customer satisfaction.

Best Golf Purchase Ever
Posted by Roland M., San Jose, CA on March 27th 2014
Best golf toy purchase I ever had. Walking while golfing is so much more fun and enjoyable using the X4R. The price of cart rental alone will pay for itself in a year. I've never been more excited playing golf now that I have my personal caddy. The seat / score holder and drink holder adds more to the kid excitement in me. Hands down this is the best golf gadget purchase for me. Even the golf Gods are excited. Feed back the way the manual is written, instructions and descriptions on all operating parts should be included, i.e the knob control located near the cart handle. I had to call in to find out the real function of this knob...it is actually a manual control if you are up or down a hill / slope to match your stride. You do not want to use the remote up or down a hill. This knob is not a volume control or a range extender control like it was speculated by my 4-some. And, the plastic-like string on the remote control is actually the antenna for the remote...be careful not to break or cut this string. Other than that, I am in golf heaven using my X4R. Well done Bat-Caddy.

My Personal Caddy
Posted by Pattie on February 11th 2014
I purchased my X4RL in November 2013. I've been too busy enjoying my new caddy to write a review. Walking and playing golf are a pleasure and I now have more energy for my game. The lithium battery weighs much less than my handbag and folding the caddy is a breeze. It's small size is perfect for my Prius C. I am very happy with my purchase.

Works Wonderfully
Posted by Irving B., St. Petersburg, FL on December 21st 2013
I set it up last night and drove it around the street. Works wonderfully. Fits well in the small trunk of my car. Setup was easy. A few comments though. Print on instruction manual way too tiny. Manual said rear wheels labeled left and right, I could find no such labels, and umbrella/scorecard holder only fit on the opposite side mentioned in the instructions. Small things.

Makes Golf that much more enjoyable
Posted by Ron., Corning, NY on August 26th 2013
Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how much I love the X4R remote Bat-Caddy. I bought one for my father and me and neither one of us can stop raving about the caddy.

Love Modern Technology
Posted by Chip M., Borger, TX (May 2013) on May 7th 2013
The Bat-Caddy golf caddy has allowed me to walk 18 holes. Due to hills and the West Texas wind my legs would give out after 14 holes. The caddy is very easy to use and Bat-Caddy has a great support staff. I took five minutes to visit with Technical Support on the control functions and maintance of my caddy. The caddy will turn on a dime and travel at my pace. If you like walking but tire out before you finish playing I would highly recomend you getting a Bat-Caddy. I now looking foreward to walking while playing golf. Boy,I love modern technology!

Best Friend on the Golf Course

I just purchased a Bat Caddy X4R for my wife but also have one that I have owned for about two years. Best personal friend on the golf course that I could ever imagine! Like a real caddy but no talking and no tipping!

Needs adjustment for big bags
Posted by adp on January 28th 2013
The x4r is great in everyway except the bungee cords and metal ends of brackets. it put holes in my sun mountain bag because the bungie cords are too tight and the metal ends of the brackets rubbed on the bags. Did not have any trouble with smaller carry bags, just with C130 sun mountain cart bag.

I got this through my golf club and used it today Jan 5 for the first time and love it. easy to maneuver and handled rough terrain well. Was strong for 18 holes. I peobably could have done another 18 easily.

Love at first sight
Posted by Andy W., Oakland, TN on January 26th 2015
I'm so excited. I got my Bat Caddy, put it together, charged it up, and got my first chance to use over the weekend. What a great time I had just walking down the fairways without having to pull my cart along with me.
I loved it after the first hole I played. Thanx Bat-Caddy!

Thanks for making my passion even more fun!
Posted by Tom, Cincinnati, OH on December 23rd 2014
I received my X3R caddy on Dec 5th, 2014. I ordered a demo unit based on info in another post by a previous customer. When I called to place my order on Nov 28th Peter Hanneforth the president and owner of the company took my call. He was VERY helpful. When I received my order it was packaged well and in great shape. I had the caddy and the FREE accessories assembled, up and running in less than an hour. I have a background in mechanical engineering and I therefore have a pretty good aptitude for determining quality from junk. I must say that I was very impressed with the design and fit of this product. I reside in Cincinnati OH and as a result my opportunity for winter golf is somewhat limited. I was anxious to put the Bat-Caddy to the test. Fortunately within a couple of days we had a break from the cold and rain and I made my way to our course. We have a very rolling track with some steep hills. The X3R was unfaltering in taking on anything in its path. It does tend to drift down hill when under remote power and going across a grade but you quickly learn to direct it so as to compensate. We were playing in temperatures in the low 50's. I was not sure how that might affect the battery and its ability to last for 18 holes. No problem. The green light was still lit and indicating the availability of full power at the end of the round. At the time that I chose to order my caddy I wasn't all that sure that I would use the remote feature all that much. I originally ordered the X3R over the X3 as I felt the wider wheel base would be a benefit for stability for side hill navigation on some of our steeper hills. I also liked the fact that the anti-tip wheel was included on the X3R and should provide some additional benefit navigating vertically up our steep hills. After 3 rounds I have found that I was completely wrong about the use of the remote feature. Now that I have experienced it I would not be without it. It saves you steps in so many situations that you may not even consider previous to it's use. I feel liberated from the burden of the push cart I have used the past six years. I play an average of 3 times a week in good weather. My shoulders have given me issues in the past when carrying a bag or using my push cart. Not the case after using my new Bat Caddy. Played 2 days in a row feeling good to go more. One of our golf buddies already owned an X3 and now another has ordered an X3R after seeing mine in action. I expect others will follow. Thanks Bat Caddy for making my passion even more fun and enjoyable. Sincerely, Tom in Cincinnati.

Outstanding Value & Service
Posted by Brian M., RI on November 29th 2014
I have just upgraded to a newer version of my 5 year old X3R. Although satisfied with the original I felt it was time to move up to a more innovative model. I must say that after several uses with the 2014 model I could not be happier. It does all that my old version did but in a faster and more efficient manner. I also notice the fact that many of my buddies have other manufacturers models which cost double to triple what I paid and show no appreciable differences to the X3R as far as quality is concerned.
Much of what makes a product successful is the people who stand behind it. I cannot speak highly enough of the technical department ob Batcaddy. They have worked with me numerous times and always achieved a solution which I have been 100% satisfied with. The guys are good people and know what they are doing.
Lastly, after years of right shoulder issues I finally realized that pushing a non-motorized cart up and down hills (which constantly extended my shoulder forward) was the root of my problem. With the motorized cart my shoulder is pain free and I still get the exercise of walking the course. Now, if I can find a machine that can actually swing the club for me so I can win a few more bucks from my buddies life will be perfect

Save Valuable Energy
Posted by Frank B., Cornelius, NC on June 19th 2014
Received my X3R the Thursday following my purchase and had it in play for 18 holes on Saturday and Sunday. Took a few holes to get comfortable, but allows me to save valuable energy walking such a demanding course.

I Love My X3R Remote Bat Caddy
Posted by Doreen Hamilton on June 18th 2014
I walk and I pushed my bag and carried my bag. I often play with a friend who walks and is 88 years young and he has an electric cart. Another friend in his early 40 purchased an electric cart with a lithium battery and I loved his. I began researching electric golf carts and ran across Bat Caddy and read the reviews. I know I wanted one and it had to be remote. After a few emails and phone calls to some excellent sales people I finally purchased a demo X3R, August 2013. I play about 4 to 6 days a week that includes after work. It is the BEST golf purchase I have ever purchased. Everyone ask me what it is and I say Bat Caddy. One friend purchased the X3R this year. Great product. Thank you.

Awesome customer service and overall performance.
Posted by Vic Colley on June 4th 2014
I bought the X3R. I received it on a Friday. Saturday I took it out of the box to assemble it and try it out. It worked great, but couldn't get the remote control to work. I emailed the company and received an email back later that day. I didnt know it until Sunday morning because I didnt look for email until Sunday. The email gave me a couple suggestions on how to get the remote control to work. No success. I emailed the company again and got a reply in less than an hour on sunday morning from the president of the company (Peter O). I tried his suggestion with no luck, once again I emailed back and in about 10 minutes I got another response this time the president of the company worked with me until the remote control was working. All this was on a SUNDAY Morning. I could not ask for better customer service or quality of company concern for responding to any questions about the bat caddy. I have used my bat caddy whenever I golf (about 2 times a week). I charge the battery most of the time after I play a round of 18, but have forgotten a few times and it has lasted through another 18 holes with no problems. I have had no problems whatsoever and would highly recommend this product to everyone. I have already told friends about it and other golfers with questions. Awesome customer service, great machine and very happy customer!!

Impressive Service
Posted by Scott L. on May 22nd 2014
Peter O. i want to thank you and bat-caddy for such great customer service. I called Ron and he took great care of me. He helped me troubleshoot the problem with my X3R having been in the water. He told me to take the remote unit out of the box on the bottom of the cart and dry it out with a fan or hair dryer. Well, i did this on thursday and played 18 holes yesterday and it worked like a champ. I am very happy and bat-caddy should be proud for providing a high level of customer service. This is something you dont always get with a purchase and the fact you were on vacation (still responded to me), and a different region rep took care of me like i was his own is great. Customer service like this builds relationships. Again, i am impressed with your companies committment to their customers, it is obvious that not only do you want to sell your product but you stand behind it and care it functions like it is supposed to.
thanks again, respectfully

Great Quality Product
Posted by Bob, San Diego on March 11th 2014
I purchased my Batt-Caddy about 18 months ago. Its a great quality product that has been very reliable. Reason for purchasing is my hips are starting to bother me and playing Torrey Pines every week and pushing a cart does aggravate my hips. Batt-Caddy allows to still walk 18 holes while minimizing stress to mys hips.

Even Survives Sinking!
Posted by Phil, NJ on November 12th 2013
Advised by the President I bought a X3R demo in 2010. It is now 3 years and 3 seasons later, and I continue to be happy with my Bat-Caddy which I also use off season since I play winter golf. Recently my Bat-Caddy accidentally ended up submerged in water and mud for more than 10 minutes. After a salvage operation by our groundkeepers and a drying out process closely guided by the Bat-Caddy Service Center in PA, I was able to bring the Bat-Caddy back to full live without a single part exchanged. I wanted to let you know about the quality of your product and the dedication of your Service staff. What a value!

Bought one of the first X3Rs in 2007 and it's still running
Posted by Jerry, Maryland on July 13th 2013
I purchased one of the first X3Rs at the start of the 2007 season, and have used it for many rounds each year since then. It has worked dependably and has been easy to maintain. The electronics and the remote have worked flawlessly. Occasionally, I tighten some of the screws and bolts, and I have replaced the battery once. I also needed to replace the plastic handle a couple of years ago, and I am replacing one of the wheels this week, both because of cracks that developed after a lot of use. Customer service has been excellent, and the parts I have ordered arrived promptly. If this one ever gives up, I am sure I will go back to Bat Caddy for a replacement, but I'm beginning to think that may never happen!"

Posted by JG - Virginia on April 12th 2013
Bought the x3R a couple of months ago...played about 5 rounds so far...fantastic - forgot how nice it is to just walk the course!
x3R is pretty rugged - does what it's supposed to do.
Love it!

GREAT Product
Posted by Tommy P., Montgomery, AL on January 14th 2013
I am about 8 Hc and an avid walker. This makes it much easier.
Have not had it long but have used it twice. It works great and when the
weather really get hot here in the deep south I am sure I will think
it is even a better product. GREAT Product.

I Love this thing!
Posted by Steve on January 6th 2013
I've had the X3R for a few months now and love the fact that I can walk the course like a pro... too bad I don't play like one. It's easy to use; easy to control; never runs down and has enhanced my enjoyment of the game. I like the way the remote works with just the push of the right button to control speed, left, right, stop and reverse. I can thread it between the sand trap and the green from 30 feet away. It's very responsive. But what I enjoy the most if the walking without carrying my bag or dragging it behind me. A great caddy at a great price. Thanks!

Had my X3R for almost 4 years and love it!
Posted by Ted on September 11th 2012
I have had my Bat Caddy for almost 4 years. Very few problems other than normal maintenance items. The people I have had the pleasure to work with are the best, especially Ron. I have one golf partner that is in the process of ordering one for himself. Walking is recommended by the doctor and I can't think of a better way to walk AND have fun than playing golf! Great Machine.

The Bat-Caddy leaves me full of energy
Posted by Corlette F., Washington, DC on August 15th 2012
I am enjoying my Bat-Caddy X3R very much . . . it was well worth the wait. I have used a push cart for six years and always felt exhausted after playing certain courses which had hills. By the time I got to my ball I was unable to muster up enough energy to pull off a decent shot, but now with my Bat-Caddy after 18-holes I am full of energy. I am now able to tackle those golf courses with hills, make my second or third shot with ease and energy. Thank you for having such a wonderful product on the market.
By the way, I made a hole-in-one yesterday on the West Course at Andrews AirForce Base Golf Course, MD the 9th hole 114 yards with a nine iron.
Various Bat Caddy Models:
"Bat Caddy carts are far and away the the Lexus of electric golf carts. There is no comparison for excellence in design, performance, lightweight compactness at an affordable price. I did extensive research before I purchased my X4R cart, both on the internet, in golf stores, and interviewing every golfer that had an electric cart that joined me on the golf course. There are numerous electric carts on the market. They range in price from around $400 to $2,500, mostly in the higher end above $1,500, which is not justifiable for the average golfer.
I bought my Bat Caddy X4R two years ago for $700 and could not be more pleased. It is elegantly designed, powerful, lightweight and folds up quickly into a compact size. If it weren't for the presence of the battery, most golfers would not know that it is an electric cart due to its simple and beautiful design. It does not look like a clunky electric cart. The remote control is easy to use and has a range of at least 100 yards.
I play weekly on a steep golf course and my X4R is so powerful, that it easily pulls me up the steep hills. Better yet, I have had a few minor issue with my cart, and each and every time, Bat Caddy customer service has readily replaced parts, free of charge, under their generous warranty.Their customer service is outstanding.
The X4R has increased in price since I bought mine but is still an excellent value.
This is an excellent company with an outstanding line of products. You can't do better than Bat Caddy for electric golf carts." Jim G., Burlingname, CA (July 2012)
"I want to compliment you on an excellent product. I purchased a Bat-Caddy X3. I have used it extensively for one year now. I golf 3 to 4 times a week in the Tacoma, Washington area. It has been absolutely great with no problems or complaints at all. This is just an excellent product which is very easy to use and performs exactly as advertised." Thom W., Tacoma, WA (June 2012)
"I can't believe that I received my Bat Caddy the day after I placed my order! I'm absolutely delighted with the product. Thanks for such great service. I have a feeling some of my friends will be green with envy once they see the Bat-Caddy in action. You can be sure I'll do my best to send them in your direction. Thanks again." Jim F., Stockbridge, MA (June 2012)
"My new Bat-Caddy is as great as the other reviews state. Now I just take a walk in the park when I go golfing. Before, I liked to walk with my push cart or carry my bag. But, you know how it goes on a hilly course by the middle of the back nine. I got tired like everyone else. Now, it’s a different story. I tell my wife after every round how much I appreciate her Father’s Day gift to me a month early back in May." Terry H., Bellefountaine, OH (June 2012)
"I ordered your X4R a couple of months ago. For the past 10 years I have owned a Robocaddy by PowaCaddy, I loved it but when the remote stopped working and I was unable to buy a replacement remote. I was decided I would buy a new Robocaddie but when I checked the price it was almost $2000, up $700 from when I first bought my original. I searched the internet and read everything I could about your product, and it took me almost 7 months to finally decide how much I missed just walking while golfing. I was very reluctant to buy your caddy because the price was so low, you know the saying you get what you pay for. But after that 7 months and your money back guarantee I figured I had nothing to lose. Well was I shocked at what a great product your caddy turned out to be! It is easily as good if not better than my RoboCaddy. It folds smaller, and it is amazing, I am a fast walker and there is no way I can keep up with your caddy, whereas with the Robocaddy I had to wait for it all the time. My home course is very hilly but your caddy runs up those hills, and the balance is so good it rarely gets up on the small back wheel. The remote is very simple to use, the caddy folds simply, and the accessories are wonderful, I love the seat. Thank you for making such a wonderful product, for anyone out there who is tired of carrying your clubs this is by far the best caddy on the market, you will be so glad you bought this. I golf 18 holes 6 times a week and the battery seems to be getting stronger. My golfing buddy has a Kangaroo, and he told me he wishes he would have know about the Bat-Caddy. He thinks it is much better than his and the price is unbelievable. Thanks again for making such a quality caddie at a bottom basement price." Bruce G., Ogden, UT (June 2012)
"Just a quick note to let you know we’re coming up on 1 year with our X2 Pros. They worked hard all winter, and are now enjoying the warmth of Spring. With just a little care (cleaning, lubrication), they have performed magnificently. I just did a Spring “tune up” on them, and they are so quiet, it’s incredible. Looks like our club members are starting to adopt them as well. Great product...thanks, Bat-Caddy." Steve & Cheri F., Boise, ID (May 2012)
"I just wanted you to know that Peter O. has been great in helping me solve some minor problems with my Bat-Caddy X3R. All is well again at this point. I really appreciate the great service that you, Ron, and now Peter O. have provided me since I purchased the Bat-Caddy several years ago. Now that I am retired, I love to walk the golf course 3-4 times a week, especially with my faithful Bat-Caddy! I've lost a few pounds and actually lowered my handicap in the process. You'll also be pleased to know that 4 others at my club are using Bat-Caddies now.Take care - thanks again for the great service, and keep up the good work!" Ken H., Tallahassee, FL (May 2012)
"Just wanted to drop you a line to tell you how much my hubby loves his birthday present. The guys he golfs with are very impressed with the Bat-Caddy, and I think maybe you may be seeing some orders because of it. He is 63 and by the time he hits the 14th hole he said he was pretty fatigued and just going thru the motions. His shoulder muscles would be tight from the constant lifting of the bag and clubs. The Bat-Caddy allows him not only to walk and get extra exercise, but he says he now feels as fresh and loose on the 14th hole as he did on #1. Thanks for making him so happy" Audrey O., Louisville, KY (May 2012)
"I have one of your newer model X4Rs and I wanted to hold off writing a testimonial until I was certain this was a good product and not a case of new toy "infatuation"!! Well, this is not a good product, it is a GREAT product! And yes, it is a case of infatuation maturing into LOVE! I can not express how much more enjoyable I find the game even when my play is not up to my standards. What's that Mark Twain saying? "Golf is a good walk spoiled." Well, he never had a Bat-Caddy!!! This device brings back the "good walk" aspect of the game. I have been playing golf for 45 years, never had a caddy, hated riding in carts and pushing or pulling them around wasn't much fun either...........this is the most fun I have ever had playing the game. Coupled with a GPS app for the iPhone, I have a full fledged 'silent' caddy!! I have opened my season with the best starting rounds ever. My golf buddies are envious and I have a feeling you will have 2 more customers soon! I walk 3 to 5 miles daily and this cart helps me add to this healthy exercise routine in a very pleasant way. Thanks for a great product and your personal assurances that my warranty would not start until the snow was gone. You represent your quality product with quality professional service." Max F., Londonderry, NH (April 2012)
"Over the weekend I got to use my Bat-Caddy cart. I am very happy with how the cart performed. The cart did everything you said it would. For reverence, the cart does fit in my C6 Corvette convertible. Thanks for helping me choose the right cart!" Jim S. (March 2012)
"This is my second testimonial about your excellently designed carts. My first was February, 2011. I bought my X4R in August, 2010, and 16 months later, it continues to enthrall me with its elegant light weight design, performance, compact fold down and performance. It is the best golf product purchase I have ever made. As an architect, I seek elegantly designed products that perform excellently, and the X4R is the Lexus of all electric golf carts with its simple and elegant design, strong performance and reasonable price. My cart is so powerful, it pulls me up the steep hills of my home course. The few times that I have had problems your tech support staff has been exemplary with advice, and supplying new parts under warranty. Recently, I have seen many other carts on the golf course, but none compare in design, performance and price with the Bat-Caddy carts.Your carts are state of the art in design, performance and price. Great job!" Jim G., San Mateo, CA (January 2012)
"This to say my wife is absolutely delighted with her new Bat-Caddy. We have owned various types in the past 15 years and undoubtedly this is the best we have ever had, for everything, particularly the ease with which it handles on-course and getting it in and out of the car trunk. Great product, well designed. Congratulations and thanks." David M., WA (January 2012)
"Just a note, several of the guys at our club have your caddy and love them. Additionally, they have mentioned how great your service is as well. You have a great product there, congratulations and have a prosperous 2012." Ken M., Indianapolis, IN; (December 2011)
"I have had my Bat-Caddy X3R for almost 3 years. I use it almost three times a week year around. Of course things will wear out using a product that much but when I ask for help on a problem or need a part for replacement I contact Ron Z. and the service I receive is impeccable. I am normally up and running either the day I talked to him or within a week. I would recommend a Bat-Caddy for not only the price but the service. Being an retired Purchasing Executive I know the value of customer service and value for the money. You will always get it from Bat-Caddy." Ray G., Winston-Salem, NC (December 2011)
"By the way, I meant to tell you that the cart ran like a dream when I did use it this weekend. I really appreciate the customer service that you and your company provided me over the past year with my wife's Bat-Caddy X2 Pro, and that is why I decided to purchase one for myself. Once again, your company is coming thru with flying colors!!" Sam K., Haymarket, VA (November 2011)
"Received my Bat-Caddy X4R last week; assembled it and tested it in the neighborhood. Several neighbors wanted to give it a name. Took it out to my club and played nine holes during the week in a light rain. No problems navigating the wet rough, even climbing a few elevated tee boxes. I'm in Florida, so our course is pretty flat, but the ground is so soft it's like sponge cake when it rains. Played two rounds this weekend with it. No problems. Got a lot of compliments for its sleek aesthetic design. Great engineering!" Gary, Dunedin, FL (September 2011)
"I'm just writing to tell you that I opened up all of the compartments on my Bat Caddy after it accidently went swimming, let it dry for 3 days, and today I hooked up the battery and it ran perfectly. I have enjoyed my Bat Caddy a great deal since I bought it and I am now particularly pleased with the quality and reliability of your product... Thank you for all your help. A very satisfied customer." Al O.; Alton, IL (July 2011)
"I'd like to say thank you for the prompt services and part that I needed. I'm enjoying the Bat-Caddy a lot. Actually I love it. And, just let you know that my friend bought the X4r two weeks ago. Thank you again.!!" Kyung K., LaCanada, CA, (June 2011)
"I absolutely love my Bat Caddy X4R! Very easy to assemble, It's light and easy to use. It's very responsive, a regular work horse, streamlined with good looks! Everyone that has seen it has been impressed! Why would anyone want any other electric bag caddy? We may be ordering another one for my wife soon." Rip R., Yorba Linda, CA (June 2011)
"I want to say that the Bat-Caddy cart is fantastic, everybody on my golf course envies me because of its power, different speeds and backward motion, its maneuverability and its perfect remote control. It is the only one here in Argentina with so many different functions. Really I am very happy!" Alfredo R., Buenos Aires, Argentina; (June 2011)
"Thanks for this. My experience with Bat-Caddy has been excellent, and your service alone would easily be worth the extra money. Thanks again." Terry B., Ontario, Canada; (June 2011)
"Thanks so much for the quick service! I deal with a lot of customer service organizations, and yours is exceptional." Jim H., Monument, CO (May 2011)
"I purchased the X3R in January 2011 and have played about 20 rounds of golf. I have been very pleased with the cart. I have yet to come close to running out of battery life and even know I could play 36 holes on one charge. Very happy with this cart!" Wendell H., New York (May 2011)
"I own the X4R Caddy and I would like to thank everyone at Bat-Caddy f or the support they provide. My Caddy is used extensively (2 or 3 times a week) and aside from a few minor problems with the accessories it has performed flawlessly. Their Service responds very quickly. To all you Golfers who like to walk, Buy a Bat-Caddy. Thanks again for an excellent Product" Robert G., Newport News, VA. (April 2011)
"Still loving my Bat-Caddy and see no decline in the battery! I have just about converted a friend to join the Bat-Caddy family... This past Sunday he asked to switch with me as we went up a hill. I pushed his Sun Mountain and he followed my Bat-Caddy, by the top of the hill he was serious on getting one... Thanks again for a great product! Dennis C., Cisco, TX (April 2011)
"Again, thanks for your quick response. I still enjoy my BatCaddy... it is a great replacement for my HillCrest Kangaroo! I have several in my group of 12 now interested in contacting you about getting their own!" Barry B., Fairfax, VA; (March 2011)
"I just wanted to let you know that I spoke with your Service Manager yesterday, and he was very pleasant and extremely helpful. I was able to repair my cart last evening in a few minutes and it works just fine. Thank you very much. I sincerely appreciate the exceptional customer service. The other two playing partners in our foursome also have an interest in buying the same cart and I will be sure to let them know how satisfied I was with the service. I started my career almost 30 years ago in the supermarket industry where the company I worked for built its reputation on customer service. So I am always delighted to buy from a company that stands behind its product, employs associates who are friendly and courteous, and is responsive to my needs and concerns. They will most likely have my business for life." Eric R., Bel Air, MD; (March 2011)
"Really like my Bat-Caddy X4R so far! Walked 18 holes 4-days straight and still had energy to spare. Thanks." Gary O., Charlotte, NC (February 2011)
"I have used my X4R cart for five months now and I truly love it. I researched many electric carts before making my decision to purchase the X4R. There are many electric carts on the market, and most of them are very expensive, very ugly, or both. The X4R is such a simple and elegant design and always attracts attention. I appreciate its lightweight and excellent design and construction at a reasonable price. Your customer service has been as exemplary as the design and value of this cart." Jim G., San Mateo, CA (February 2011)
"I've used the Bat-Caddy X4R for 2 rounds, and it has worked perfectly! I'm 63 years old, and last year was the 1st time in over 10 years, that I was able to walk 18 holes (I have RA). I've carried my bag, but only able to walk 9 holes. I tried using a Bagboy push cart, but it really hurt my back during the 2nd 9 holes (pushing up hills was not natural). The X4R is just like having a caddy, and walking is very natural, like the pros. I played 2 days in a row, and I had some foot pain during the last few holes! Playing 36 holes in a weekend walking was something I never thought I could do again. My resolution is to walk at least 3 times each week, even if for only 9 holes each time. The workmanship on the cart is great, and very easy to both setup, and carry. I still can't believe this product is so easy to maneuver, it was fun directing it around the greens or taking my putter, and sending the cart on to the next tee.... My playing partners are impressed, and a couple are looking to purchase their own. 3 or us are in our 60's, and the other in late 50's. I'm pressing them for better health, and enjoyment. Thanks again for selling a Great product, and delivering in a short time!! This will help me stay healthy and active in the coming years!" "TJ J., Newman, GA; (February 2011)
"I just bought a Bat Caddy and used it twice this week-end for two rounds of golf and it was TERRIFIC! I would welcome the opportunity to write something as a reviewer. My wife and I are golf fanatics (living in Virginia and playing about 200 rounds a year if you count 9-hole rounds on summer evenings and 18 ever Saturday and Sunday irregardless of the weather). We have two golf Segways, our own enclosed golf cart with a cover, and the Bat Caddy meets my needs the best of walking in all types of weather and not having to carry clubs. Thank you for making my golf so healthy and enjoyable!" Gary R., Richmond, VA (January 2011)
"My husband absolutely love the E-Z-GO Cruiser that I bought for him this Christmas! He relies on the E-Z-GO to carry his bag with ease and it rides great on our hilly golf course. Highly recommended!" Jenny W., Corona, CA (January 2010)
"A friend of mine bought the EZGO RC-800 from Motogolf.com® a few months ago and couldn't stop raving about it. So I decided to get one for myself. The name speaks for itself and rides well on some of the toughest terrains. The cart is also durable and the remote control was easy to use. I feel like a kid again!" Kevin C., Tacoma, WA (December 2009)
"I received my Bat Caddy X2 Pro the very end of Dec and have used it 4 times since it arrived. Wanted you to know that I REALLY like it. It works as advertised! Our course is relatively flat and it maneuvers very well on the inclines that we have. So glad I checked out your site. In fact this replaced a Hill Billy that was about 10 years old and it's so much nicer. And special thanks to Ron in maintenance who assisted both my husband and me. It's nice doing business with a company like yours." Mary L., Pensacola, FL (January 2010)
"I received my Bat-Caddy X3R last Friday and everything was perfect! I charged the battery and checked it indoors (because of the snow). I am eager to use it on the golf course in Spring. I am sure that my fellow golfers will ask about it! Thank you again. This transaction was perfect to me!" Guy V., Carleton, QC (January 2010)
"I hope you're selling lots of Bat-Caddies. I certainly tell all of my friends about the product. I have been responsible for 2 people ordering a Bat-Caddy. Thanks again for a great product. It's the best purchase I've ever made. I love my Bat-Caddy!" Jim H., Rancho Cucamonga, CA (December 2009)
"I wanted to reply to indicate why I purchased your product. First I was impressed with your web site and the description of your product. Second the special pricing and free shipping caught my eye. But the thing that moved me to buy was the free accessories. Seems like a great deal on an excellent product. Keep up the good work!" Crady A., Vinton, VA (December 2009)
"I have to say that assembling and operating this Bat-Caddy seems fairly intuitive. A testament to the design. I look forward to its maiden voyage." Jeanie A., Columbia, SC (December 2009)
"Thanks for all your help with our orders. All have arrived as promised. The Bat-Caddy runs like a charm. I was surprised & pleased to see the seat was included. Great idea. We'll be three healthier happier golfers next year thanks to you folks at Bat-Caddy!" Rita S., Fairfield, CT (November 2009)
"Overall I'm very pleased with the Bat-Caddy. Battery life is excellent. The ease of assembly is a real plus." Bob R., Greensburg, PA (October 2009)
"I just want to let you know that I received my Bat-Caddy back today and am very satisfied with the work that was done. They did an excellent job of making the necessary repairs in such a short time. I have never received better repair service from the many companies that I have dealt with. Your company is the best as far as customer service is concerned! Thanks again!" Bernard O., Torrance, CA (September 2009)
"I do absolutely love the Bat Caddy X2 Pro, and all of my "Club Runner" friends are insanely jealous!! :>) I knew how much trouble my friends all had with their Club Runners, and I knew I did not want to go that route. I searched the internet, discovered Bat Caddy and studied your website. I was pretty well convinced that the product was good, but the testimonials I read are what "sealed the deal" for me." Bonnie P., Kearney, NE (September 2009)
"First of all, thank you for your speedy response. I have had both a Kangaroo Caddy and am replacing my Lectronic Caddy with this Bat-Caddy X3R. Your prompt attention so far is refreshing to me as a consumer! Please feel free to use my statement and name in any way that benefits your company" Donnie M., Florence, SC (September 2009)
"That’s great service. Thank you! I hope you will be getting additional cart sales through our Club. I have been getting a lot of positive comments and questions about the Bat Caddy. ... In any case the Bat Caddy X3R is really fantastic; it makes walking a pleasure and I’m sure it will be a big part of increasing the longevity of my “Bionic†knees." Dave R., Mattapoisett, MA (August 2009)
"..I am still totally satisfied with my Bat-Caddy. I have probably used my X3R more in 7 months than most people will use it in 3 years. By now I have over 125 rounds on my cart. Even after paying for the cart, I have saved over $1000 in cart fees by now." Gene K, Rome, GA (August 2009)
"IT IS GREAT!!!! THERE ARE A LOT OF WALKERS AT MY COURSE AND THEY ALL ARE IMPRESSED AT HOW WELL THE BAT-CADDY PULLS OUR HILLY COURSE WITH ENERGY TO SPARE. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN ELECTRIC CART, THIS IS IT." Jim F., Princeton, WV; (July 2009)
"Now that I have become the talk of the club, I hope you receive many orders for your Bat Caddy. Other members and myself are amazed at the ease of operation, light weight, cost & overall function of the X3R." Ernie S., Kent, CT; (July 2009)
"...We have been using the X3R Bat-Caddy, and we are very happy, sincerely, we are pleased! I am sure that I recently sold a couple from our local golf course. They tested it out and seemed ready to close!" Michael C., Long Island, NY; (July 2009)
"Just a note to say how my spouse is enjoying the Bat-Caddy. It works well and has drawn the attention of others due to its more compact size. Even the attendants at the Pro Shop and storage appreciate it, since they find it easier to maneuver than other models. Our golf course is quite uneven with a lot of different elevations. The Bat-Caddy never hesitates. My wife is very happy to have it!" Doug G., Owen Sound, ON Canada; (June 2009)
"I certainly have a lot of confidence in the Bat-Caddy brand, and usually if I talk to folks, that is what they end up purchasing!" Tracy J., Golf Caddy Retailer, GolfPowerCarts, Houston, TX; (June 2009)
"...By the way, I ran into a fellow Bat-Caddy person and he loved his as well. Additionally, he said that the customer service was excellent which is what I have experienced as well." Brent S., Arlington, VA (June 2009)
"I am very happy with my shipment of the Bat-Caddy X3R. The product has certainly lived up to my expectations. It took a couple of times out to get a feel for the cart. The bag that you put on the cart should be equal in weight on each side so as to minimize the need to alter the direction of the cart. The battery never seems "to need" a charge, however, I charge it a couple hours after each round. Our course is hilly and it takes the hills with no problem. I also like the way you can adjust the speed. The first time out I didn't realize that if you hit the remote button several times it actually goes faster than you can walk - a great feature for me since I play rather fast. Also, the range of the remote allows me to leave my bag and go to the tee and still be able to direct the cart from over 100 yards away. Again, I am very satisfied with the product and would certainly recommend it for anyone who wants to free themselves of carrying a bag." Dick L., Wyantskill, NY (June 2009)
"...I love the X3R unit! I see others that guys paid a LOT more for and can't see what they do different than the Bat-Caddy" Jim M, Akron, OH (May 2009)
"I want to let you know that the Bat-Caddy is just what the doctor ordered for me. I have a friend that has tried several bargain carts with no satisfaction. After my research I ordered the Bat-Caddy X3R and I have now used it for three rounds. It is incredible! I can't tell if the battery has lost power after 18 holes and I have tried to make it turn over and it won't do it. Great value!" Bob S., Castle Rock, CO (May 2009)
"I would like you to know that your Service Manager took my call after hours yesterday while he was driving home, and was extremely helpful in trying to diagnose the battery issue with my older caddy. It is refreshing to run across an individual like him who seemed genuinely concerned about my problem and how to correct it. I thought you should be aware of this and that you have an employee of such high caliber." Bob W., Kansas City, MO (May 2009)
"I appreciate your willingness to satisfy your customers and your ability to respond to their inquiries so quickly. I have a friend here in Aiken, SC that will be placing an order with you soon as he has seen my two caddies in operation and I have told him about your great customer service. Again. thanks for backing your product so completely!" Dennis D., Aiken, SC (May 2009)
"I feel very strongly that the Bat-Caddy far outshines the expensive Kangaroo. I also feel as the other carts break down that the guys at my course will replace their carts with the Bat-Caddy. The other thing that I'm aware of is the replacement costs of any parts on the Kangaroo is very expensive. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the Bat Caddy and the support that your company provides. Your support of the Bat-Caddy far exceeds all the other carts at my course. I would think that anyone that looked at the price of a Kangaroo vs. a Bat-Caddy wouldn't even consider purchasing the Kangaroo. You can purchase three Bat Caddies for the same price as the Kangaroo! Sincerely, Charlie K., Harrisonburg, VA (May 2009)
"I am in receipt of my new Bat-Caddy X3R electronic golf cart. I am extremely happy with the manner in which my order was processed and delivered. Assembly was completed in a matter of minutes and before you knew it, I was in the driveway on a "test run". Much to my surprise, accessories were also included!" Charles R., Montville, NJ (April 2009)
"I received and am very pleased with your X3R caddy. You even included the additional accessories that I wanted to trade in for the cost of my extra battery. You are truly representative of a customer oriented business……..and to that I say thank you very much" Steve L., Madison, VA (April 2009)
"I played yesterday and one of my friends who enjoys walking and usually carries a "Sunday bag" was having some problems due to a recent illness. I suggested that I carry his bag for a few holes and he could "steer" my Bat-Caddy. He quickly got the hang of it and commented how it was a pretty cool idea. We talked after the round and I believe that he's seriously interested in the whole concept, as he has some health issues and we both enjoy walking. It is a walking game after all!" Wayne K., Cape Cod, MA (April 2009)
"All our customers are very happy with your product and customer service. We continue to push your caddies over other brands in our portfolio" Golf Caddy Retailer (March 2009)
"My husband received his gift, the Bat-Caddy X3R and has used it already on the course---he loves it and says that he is less tired walking 18 holes---I think you may be getting more orders---the guys yesterday were pretty interested--thanks so much! Now I want one-----maybe in awhile" Hillary W., Harrisonburg, VA (March 2009)
"Bat-Caddy ... you are terrific! If I have an opportunity to recommend Bat-Caddy ... you can bet I will. Thanks again for the great service" Tracey F., Pomona, CA (March 2009)
"I received my Bat-Caddy and was able to use it a couple of rounds this weekend. It is a great cart! I had purchased the Superbug and returned it. The Bat-Caddy cost me a little bit more but was worth every penny. The Bat-Caddy is a great cart for the price!" Gene K., Rome, GA (Feb. 2009)
"It is rare indeed that a company president takes the time to respond to customers; such dedication to good service will be long remembered and will certainly lead this customer to recommend you to all who will listen. Thank you again!" Bob F., Aiken, SC (Jan. 2009)
"You are truly an upstanding company who I like doing business with now and in the future! Not many companies in this time and age will try any harder to satisfy their customers. I started a painting business when I retired a couple of years ago, and this is the same attitude that I have with my customers. I don't leave until they are happy! Maybe someday I can meet you in person and shake your hand" Dean C., Lexington, KY (Dec. 2008)
"I play over 200 rounds of golf every year. At over 60 I feel that walking is the best exercise for my health. The Bat Caddy allows me to walk the course with the least amount pressure on my back. I've had back problems for over 40 years, and the electric cart is just the thing that one needs to cut out those steep climbs while pushing your cart up a hill. Most of the guys I play with have an electric cart of some nature, but they purchased at almost double the price of the Bat Caddy. Their carts are quite noisy in comparison to the Bat Caddy. This allows me to continue movement in most cases without disturbing another golfer getting ready to hit their shot." Charlie K., Harrisonburg, VA (Nov. 2008)
"Thanks for your help. Doing business with you is a pleasure!" Richard C., Seymour, TN (Nov. 2008)
" I've been walking the course for a while and cannot get over how much more energy it takes using a 3 wheel push cart and the toll that it takes on one's back, and in my case, my arthritic hip. My scores certainly reflect it, and I can't wait until tomorrow when I get to use my Bat-Caddy again. Using the Bat-Caddy is like taking a stress less walk in the park. I love using it!" Wayne K., Cape Cod, MA (Nov. 2008)
"Wow! Thanks so much. Your company has the best customer service, and you can use my testimonials any time!" Dan H.; Santa Rosa, CA (October 2008)
"Your service handling is greatly appreciated, and I will be letting people know that there are still some good folks out there..." Jim B; Asheville, NC (October 2008)
"Thank you for sending the part for my X3R and your advice in using it. I have read the many testimonials regarding the exceptional customer service your company provides and now I know why. I have never had this great service from any company, especially online service where you need to wait forever in getting any response. My Bat Caddy is beginning to be a big hit with my golf club and my golf mates are amazed at the sleek design and how well it operates, and the great price. ...so far the Bat Caddy has performed better than my expectations." Bernard O., Torrance, CA (October 2008)
"This is true story about my new Bat-Caddy X3R. I entered the USGA Public Links Qualifier tournament in June. It was a one day 36 hole event that allows pull carts. It was a perfect opportunity to find out the quality and strength of the Bat-Caddy. The X3R handled the first 18 holes without any problems. I brought my charger and plugged in the battery for about one hour between rounds and then started the second 18 holes. The charge lights on the Bat-Caddy never showed less then Full Charge and it performed perfectly without any problems. It's like having a caddy without the cost. Although my course includes the riding cart with the paid green fee I now prefer to walk with my remote controlled Bat-Caddy. Also, the caddy is so adjustable and easy to use. I have used other electric caddies but this is the first one that makes a huge difference in convenience and enjoyment. Congratulations on a great product!!." Dr. Rob I., Hillsborough, NJ (July 2008)
"I'm still very, very happy with my Bat Caddy X3R after more than 100 rounds since March and look forward to each day with it on the course. It's fun to use, it's helped me loose more than 20 pounds in two months and my handicap dropped six strokes in one two week period. Also, as always you responded to my order and questions more precisely and quickly than I expected - you always exceed expectation - Thank You!!!" Joe G., Pittsburgh, PA (June 2008)
"Thank you for your understanding. This is what customer service is all about. Making a superior product that enhances the golf experience by making it more enjoyable and adds so much value to every round. I appreciate your immediate response to every question and going beyond the call of duty. You really stand for the principle of complete customer satisfaction before profits!" Joe S., Tucson, AZ (May 2008)
"That is fantastic news that you managed to ship my X3R order in time for Mother's Day for my wife! I am amazed by your level of service, customer care and concern. I can almost guarantee that we will buy a second unit from you for Father's Day!" Rob C., Meredith, NH (May 2008)
"Thank you so much! Not only do you have a great cart but your customer support is outstanding! There is one fellow at our course who is very dismayed with his motorized cart from an outfit on the West Coast. He had trouble with the wheels on it and he can't get in touch with them anymore" Mark K., Paris, IL (April 2008)
"I wanted to let you know that I’ve gone out with the Bat-Caddy X3R a few times and am totally satisfied with it. Actually, it has generated quite a stir at my home course. You will be seeing more orders very soon." Rob S., Lexington, MA (April 2008)
"I managed to get out this past Sunday with my X3R and again the rest of my foursome could not stop admiring my Bat Caddy. My personal enjoyment only grows as I become more adept while operating the remote control feature. Now I know how the Pros feel as they stroll from the fairway directly to the green with only their putter in hand as the Bat Caddy rolls off to the side of the green to wait for me. What a pleasure it is to play a round without being tethered to a pull cart or the added walking to and from a gas cart as a result of the many "cart path only" courses! Thanks again for everything." Ken G., Wallington, NJ (April 08)
"I've played every day since 25 Mar 08 and I couldn't be happier with the Bat-Caddy X3R. It easily out performs my old Club Runner in speed, power, and quietness. You were correct about it's speed - I do have to break into a slow jog to keep up with it on the level when the rheostat is set to top speed. It easily handles the hilly holes at our Western Pennsylvania course and it's almost as much fun operating the Bat-Caddy around the course as it is to play golf. Last week I tested your claim that it could handle 27 holes in one day without a recharge. Today I played 36 holes and the performance on the 36th was as good as it was on the first..." Joseph G., Laughlintown, PA (April 2008)
"Your almost immediate reply to my voice mail shocked me. You really mean it when you say your company is customer oriented. I've played two rounds in two days, and I'm VERY, VERY happy with my Bat Caddy X3R. It performs as advertised and allows me to play as though a person were carrying my bag. Once my ball is on the green I grab my putter and send the BC toward the next tee. I found that after each shot it is best to aim it correctly and then send it off in front of me at near max speed. This enables me to walk (trying to keep up with it) toward my ball and keep an eye on it for directional adjustments. Even though the temp today is supposed to be in the low 40's and there's a chance of rain, I can't wait to finish lunch and get back to the course." Joe G., Pittsburgh, PA (March 2008)
"Once again thank you for your prompt attention to my questions and needs. Your customer service and post sales support are second to none. It is a pleasure to deal with a company and owner who displays good old values, such as trust, honesty, generosity and dedication to excellence!" John S., Somerset, NJ (Mar. 2008)
"Your professional, confident, knowledgeable and customer oriented demeanor, the absence of "salesman pushiness" and your timely and personal responses to my e-mails gave me the confidence in your company and product and led me to make the decision to buy a Bat-Caddy." Joseph G, Laughlintown, PA (March 2008)
"Wow!!! Got the first shipment of 3 X3R carts in on Thursday and as soon as I put them on the floor and showed what they can do they were sold! I think this is going to be a home run for us, our members and for you! What I would like to do is order 5 more units of the X3Rs immediately. Plus I would like to use one for myself." Jon S., Head Pro, Huntsville, AL (Feb. 2008)
"I have used my Bat-Caddy X3R now over 30 rounds and must say that it lived up to everything it was advertised for! In two months I lost 10 pounds and the Bat-Caddy probably added 5 years to my life. My wife is in love with it and two of my buddies intend to purchase one, too. I previously played with a riding cart and by saving the rental cart fees the Bat-Caddy has already paid for itself. Congratulations on a great product!" Hal D., Knoxville, TN (Feb. 2008)
"After several uses of our new Bat Caddy X3R, we are absolutely delighted with the product. Electric carts are very popular at our club and our Bat Caddy (the first at the club) has caused a tremendous stir. We would fully expect you to receive several orders in the not too distant future. In fact, our club professional has said he intends to visit with you and see if he might be able to make Bat Caddy available to our membership." Scott & Debbie F., Madison, AL (Jan. 2008)
"This is a very impressive caddy in terms of design, performance and quality. As a 20 year golf equipment sales professional and former Golf Pro I am not amused easily about any golf product but I am very impressed by the Bat-Caddy. What a value for the money!" Al S., Golf Pro & Sales Professional, Atlanta, GA (May 2007)
"Finding a fully remote controlled power golf cart for under $1000 is hard, but finding one that does not compromise quality to achieve a low price is impossible...or at least was until now! We have offered the Bat-Caddy hand controlled motorized carts since 2005 with terrific results. We are now thrilled to introduce the Bat Caddy X3R fully remote golf cart, loaded with features normally reserved for carts costing twice as much." Tracy J., Golf Retailer, Houston, TX (Apr. 2007)
"I’m now the proud owner of your Bat-Caddy X3R. I must say that it is indeed a well engineered apparatus. I’m just delighted with it and today I took it to my local golf course and tried it out with great success! I’m just delighted with this cart. It folds up so beautifully, is easy to load, is very compact and stylish and works like a dream. A friend I play with saw it today and his words were “I’m so jealousâ€. Well, I just bet you will get some other orders from Paris, IL when the rest of the gang sees this :o).... I know that one of my buddies has already placed an order and another one just visited me at home to take a close look at it and said he was going to order one too! It's a real elegant and functional design and your customer service is amazingly fast when it comes to any questions!" Mark K., Paris, IL (Jan. 2008)
"Richard loves his new X3R and I think another friend of mine will purchase one from you, too. I played with both of these fellows yesterday and by the end of the round, Richard and I were both fresh but Phil had to drag his cart around and was pretty much exhausted. That pretty much sold him; that and also seeing it go up the hills so easily Your cart design actually sells itself, you know. Also, your testimonial page speaks volumes, as well as the service. I am a structural engineer and I design the equipment used to construct large smoke stacks. My work entails inventing the equipment, then analyzing it and then detailing all the parts, nuts and bolts, etc. I have found that the easier a piece of equipment is to use combined with the fewer the moving parts usually requires the most thinking. You have certainly put a lot of thought into your design and I commend you for it." Mark K., Paris, IL (Jan. 2008)
"I am recommending you because of your outstanding responsiveness and attention to customer service. I usually do not like to buy things on the internet because of lack of service, but you have been amazing in responding to my questions and solving an initial issue!" TJ S., Spartanburg, SC (Jan. 2008)
"First let me say how good the new X3R caddy is. It works as described. I am happy with your product and I am recommending it to all my friends who should be walking as I do. Thank you for the great customer service. I think you all are great!" Daniel C., Medford, MA (May 2007)
"I was looking for a top of the line remote controlled caddy, and I started searching for it with the big guys. However, after everything I have heard and read, I have to say that your X3R is by far the most impressive and price competitive remote controlled caddy in the market" Joe N., Savannah, GA
"Thank you very much. I appreciate your quick reply and the new strap for my X2 Pro. I have to say the cart you manufacture and your quality of service has been AA Excellent!" Leonard B., Dartmouth, MA
"I purchased a Bat Caddy X3R in 2007 and have been very impressed by the performance of this electric cart. I play about 4-5 times a week, so it gets a lot of use. It has loads of power for the uphill climbs and is well balanced and folds easily. It is getting quite a bit of attention from fellow club members who have invested substantially more for their carts...." Connie W., Nova Scotia, Canada (June 2007)
"I am beyond middle age, I enjoy golf and am concerned at maintaining a reasonable level of fitness, good news, I now do both. I am the proud owner of the Bat Caddy X3R, electric golf cart with remote control. I am free to walk the course without pushing, pulling or carrying, my body shape is changing as I get fitter, I am more flexible and hit the ball a little further, three strokes have disappeared, what more can I ask for? Beyond the obvious, my cart also has the seat accessory for handy storage of essentials and a convenient resting place when waiting on the tee. My only regret is that I did not get this wonderful equipment 10/20 years ago, if I had, both my handicap and waist measurement would be lower. This is a great investment for all golfers, one that repays many ways." John S., Somerset, NJ (May 2007)
"I wanted to express my great pleasure having had to deal with two very small issues with my new Bat-Caddy. First of all, I love the unit ! Secondly your level of cooperation and after sales support has been second to none! I asked for a replacement charger and same was delivered in 3 days. I had a small plastic seal that fell off the axle area and this too was replaced in a matter of days ! This is great service ! Thanks in advance for your support and I hope that I do not have to call upon you any time soon , but i do know that if I have to I will be looked after. Well done!" Steve S., Montreal, QC, Canada (July 2007)
"I received my Bat-Caddy X3R. Used it and it is terrific. Everything you say about it is true and more." Jack S., Mashpee, MA
"I am enjoying my "Bat Caddy X2 Pro" very much. A few fellow golfers have remarked how compact it looks compared to others in the club. When I finish golfing I disconnect the battery and fold the cart in one move and place them in my vehicle. I have seen other golfers with batteries twice as large as mine & twice as heavy removing wheels and going through what is sometimes appears to be complicated disassembly. After 18 holes the battery is fully charged in just over 2 hours which I think is admirable. So all in all I am very pleased with my "Bat-Caddy" I definitely recommend it to my fellow golfers." Jim M., British Columbia, Canada (June 2007)
"I want to congratulate you on the way you're handling my warranty issue. Before I retired I was in the position of buying plastic injection molds that cost anywhere's from $100,000 to $1,000,000. I always rated my vendors by quality and "how they reacted to a problem with one of their molds". I always believed how much a company backs their product is what separates the good companies from the bad. If you were building molds and I was still working you'd definitely be on my preferred list." Courtney G., Waterford, WI (May 2007)
"What a nice unit! Solid and powerful. It took me a bit to get accustomed to the steering and speed controls, but once educated, it was a joy to use." Emerson T., Morrison, CO (June 2007)
"I finally got to take my new Bat Caddy X2 Pro out for its first official run yesterday. We played a course in Gilroy California called Eagle Ridge, a Johnny Miller course. It is a very hilly course and there are some long distances from green to the next tee, thus, a course I never walk. I figured it would be a good test for the Bat Caddy. I give the X2 Pro an "A" for its performance. The cart handled any difficult terrain and any hill it had to. I found the controls very simple and effective. I have never actually used an electric power-assisted cart before, so I wasn't sure quite how I would control the speed. With your cart, my hand held the handle gently while my index finger fine-tuned the speed when necessary. On any long, level straightaway, I just got the Caddy going at the right speed and walked along next to it. It was an excellent hike without having to kill myself pushing anything up a hill. And it does seem to me that a rear-wheel driven cart is likely to climb steep and sometimes slippery hills better than models like the Sun Mountain which pull with a front wheel drive. The Bat-Caddy is a winner and is also very competitively priced!" Dr. David S., M.D. , San Jose, CA (Feb 2007)
"I love your Bat-Caddy X3R! Thanks for your very prompt reply to my questions. I really appreciate your great customer service!" Stephen S., Montreal, Quebec, Canada
"I own a Kangaroo Hillcrest but I am extremely impressed with your remote controlled X3R which is lighter, more compact, more high tech looking and has more functionality at a fraction of the price of my Kangaroo! Where have you been when I purchased it?" Phil S., Franklin Square, NY (visitor at the 2007 New York Golf Expo) (January 2007)
"We looked at every caddy at the 2007 PGA Show and your models are by far the most impressive and competitive products as far as features, performance, design and price point are concerned. I can't wait to get them into my stores!" Mark M., Tupelo, MS, Golf Retailer (Jan. 2007)
"Your caddies are actually designed as electric push carts as opposed to some of the large companies which are now entering the business and whose products seem to be merely a retrofitted version of their regular push carts" Michael N., St. Petersburg, FL, Golf Retailer (Jan. 2007)
"I love the design of the X2 Pro, not only for its cool looks but also for its great weight distribution which makes turning easy while it still tracks straight like an arrow. The rear wheel drive of the Bat-Caddy X2 Pro is the only way to go! I do not understand why you would have a front wheel drive with all the weight on the front wheel when you need to lift this wheel in order to turn the caddy. Not only requires it a lot of power to lift it, but the wheel also spins and loses traction going uphill. Someone must have been dreaming at Sun Mountain!" Bruce B. San Mateo, CA (Jan 2007)
"After 2 1/2 years it's still a great product!" (2007) Philip D., Lake Forest, Illinois (2007)
"Don't try this at home.... Just about a week ago my friend who owns a "Bat-Caddy" was about to tee off on the 17th when the cart took a nice big plunge into the lake that was ten yards down and away from the tee box. He wasn't watching and it completely sunk to the bottom in about 4 feet of water. I was there and helped he and another golfer that was following our foursome fish it out. We watched as many of his tees floated away into the lake, even a sleeve of balls floated for awhile and then sank to the bottom, which by the way was about 20 feet deep just another foot or two from shore. The Bat-Caddy itself was almost lost after he unstrapped the bag. It was a steep incline to the bottom and it didn't take but a miraculous grab to catch it at the last second to save it from permanent deep sinking. As you can imagine everything was soaked. Bubbles came up and kept coming up until the whole outfit sat at the inclined bottom for a couple of minutes. Some thought it hilarious, some of us tried to save his stuff...but it was funny:-) He is a trooper, and so he finished 17 and 18, clubs slipping in his hand, bogeying the last two to finish the round at 79! But the Caddy was really on his mind as he pushed it toward the clubhouse for a good hosing down. Well I helped, cleaned all the clubs, hosed out the bag, then I took the Bat-Caddy home with me and let it dry out for a couple of days, went to an auto parts store, got some new fuses for it as the one that was in it blew out, and had the battery checked for charge.

"The Bat Caddy motorized golf cart is the power golf cart we found at the end of a long search for a value priced powered golf push cart that did not compromise quality. The Bat Caddy's lightweight alloy frame houses quality Nylon and polymer components, an easy two step, one click set up design, a whisper quiet yet powerful and efficient motor, and one of the lightest batteries in its class. The fit and finish of the Bat Caddy is excellent and the attention to detail is obvious. We have seen quite a few “cheap†motor caddies which are little more than retrofitted push carts, but they didn’t pass our smell test. The Bat-Caddy was the first we found in its price class that exceeded our high expectations." Tracy J., Golf Retailer, Houston, TX.
