I THE INSIDE I TRACK ON THE BIGGEST G STORIES S AND NEWEST E TRENDS
Electric
trolley
wars
Motocaddy and
PowaKaddy release
new versions of their
biggest selling products.
Motocaddy is
encouraging more
people to switch to
Lithium batteries by
reducing the price
step from lead-acid
from £150 to just
£100 in 2016.
Electric trolleys remain one of the fastest
growing sectors in golf equipment and they
now account for 10% of the value of all sales
of golf gear in the UK. The growth has been
fuelled by the realization that all golfers
can benefit from not carrying or pulling
their clubs around the course. Motocaddy
and PowaKaddy have been the dominant
forces in electric trolleys for over a decade
and both have some exciting new products
hitting the stores for the 2016 season.
MOTOCADDY S1 AND S3 PRO
The UK’s top-selling trolley
brand has given the S-Series
a stylish new look and added
some hi-tech features,
without compromising the
tried and tested engineering
that underpins their success.
The latest S1 model, the
UK’s best-selling trolley since
July 2010, features a number
of improvements, including a
soft-touch ergonomic handle;
low-profile, quick release
wheels; a streamlined battery
tray; and the exclusive super-
fast QUIKFOLD mechanism.
Plus, it has nine speed
settings, a battery indicator,
whisper-quiet motor,
adjustable bag supports and
compatibility with the
EASILOCK bag-to-trolley
connection system.
The S3 Pro offers the same
new design features as the S1,
but with the addition of a
more user-friendly, high-
resolution full colour screen.
The simplified layout of the
new screen makes it easier
to take advantage of the
functions, including
Adjustable Distance Control
up to 60 yards, a CartLock
security pin code, clock, round
and lost ball timers, advanced
battery meter and three
distance measurements
(drive, round and life). It also
boasts a USB charging port
to power GPS devices.
Price: S1 from £299.99;
S3 Pro from £379.99
