Electric trolleys have established themselves as indispensable helpers on the golf course, saving you having to carry your golf bag and leaving you with more energy for the game. However, there is a large selection ranging from basic models to high-tech wonders. This overview presents various current and proven models and highlights their most striking features and how they stand out from - or complement - each other.
Some Trolleys are not just a means of transportation, but also function as personal caddies with integrated course analysis.
PowaKaddy RX12 Remote GPS XL-Plus Lithium: This model is the absolute flagship for technology enthusiasts. Its fully integrated GPS system with 5-inch HD touchscreen not only provides distances, but also detailed hole views and an advanced scoring function via an app. The SLIMLINE remote control allows for convenient remote control. While other models also have GPS capabilities, the RX12 stands out with its visual display and extensive app integrations. Together with the Motocaddy M5 GPS, it has integrated GPS functionality.
Motocaddy M5 GPS DHC 2024: A direct competitor in the smart trolley sector, the M5 GPS also offers precise GPS on a 3.5-inch touchscreen and Bluetooth connectivity for smartphone notifications. Its Downhill Control (DHC), which automatically regulates downhill speed, is a top feature shared by some other premium trolleys. The "CLICK 'N' CONNECT" battery ensures wireless and easy handling of the battery. Its strength lies in the combination of integrated GPS and the proven DHC technology, similar to the PowaKaddy, but with a focus on a slightly more compact GPS integration.
Stainless steel trolleys are the first choice for golfers who value fine materials, outstanding workmanship and often maximum modularity.
JuCad Trolley Driver Stainless Steel 2.0 (and JuStar Electric Trolley Silver): Both models stand for German engineering and a clear, elegant design. The JuCad Drive Stainless Steel 2.0 shines with a very compact pack size (65x60x10 cm) and the option of a remote control. It offers an intelligent technology package with brushless motors, double parking brake and an impressive battery life of up to 45 holes. The related JuStar Silver offers similar core features to the JuCad, but is generally the more affordable aluminum version, but retains the proven JuCad technology (up to 45 holes battery life, optional remote control, automatic forward function). Both models share the philosophy of integrating motors and batteries almost invisibly.
TiCad electric trolley Forte Silver: The Forte is a prime example of luxurious titanium design. Its sleek design and matt titanium surface in combination with an LED light ring are real eye-catchers. It combines a practical plug-in principle with a convenient folding principle and offers all the usual driving aids such as parking and downhill brakes. Although it does not offer a remote control, its titanium quality and 5-year warranty on the frame and drive set it apart from its aluminum or stainless steel competitors.
These trolleys offer a solid base of functions that make the game of golf easier without focusing on specific high-end features.
Flat Cat Gear 2025 electric trolley: This model impresses with its purist design and intuitive operation via a classic rotary control system. The invisibly integrated motors in the rear wheels and comprehensive driving assistants such as distance, parking and brake assist make it a comfortable companion. It is characterized by its clear design language and robust construction with an aluminium/GRP frame. The 36-hole battery life should be sufficient for most weekends.
Leisure electric trolley Ikarus Curve 2.0: The Ikarus 2.0 scores points with its curved, matt black stainless steel frame and the option of folding it flat with one hand. It offers a downhill brake and a distance timer, making it a stylish and functional companion. Special features include the "Noisless" high-tech drive system and energy recovery, which contributes to a battery life of up to 40 holes.
Score Industries EX2 Silver electric trolley: As a stable and functional trolley, the EX2 offers a lightweight aluminum frame and all the important driving aids such as a downhill brake, energy recovery and distance timer. Its unique selling point is the plastic umbrella and scorecard holder already included in the scope of delivery, which is often a chargeable accessory on other models.
Motocaddy Electric Trolley SE Ultra Lithium 2024: This model is an ideal entry-level option for golfers who want to switch from hand trolleys to electric trolleys. It offers nine speed settings, a USB charging port and the "EASILOCK" system for Motocaddy Bags. Its "QUIKFOLD" mechanism allows it to be set up in seconds. It focuses on user-friendliness and basic comfort features.
Kiffe E-Trolley Travelpro Bundle: The Travelpro is a "classic - rethought" and stands out due to its 100% "Made in Germany" quality and the use of K-steel (lightness, torsional rigidity, corrosion resistance). It offers an extraordinary feel, ease of use and a long battery life of up to 40 holes. The bundle including umbrella holder, scorecard holder and DustBag makes it an attractive complete package.
Big Max e-Lite 3: The e-Lite 3 impresses with its compact elegance and ultra-light design (5.6 kg), making it one of the lightest models. Its tapered aluminium frame optimizes the load capacity. It is controlled via an ergonomic ring system. The "remote control on/off" function makes it possible to use an optional remote control. Its compactness and low weight are its greatest strengths.

The selection of electric trolleys is diverse and covers different needs. While models such as the PowaKaddy RX12 or the Motocaddy M5 GPS score points with integrated GPS technology and connectivity, JuCad, JuStar and TiCad rely on high-quality materials and durable engineering, often with the option of a remote control. Less expensive or functionally focused models such as the Flat Cat, Leisure Ikarus, Score EX2, Motocaddy SE or Kiffe Travelpro still offer a high level of comfort and useful functions, although each has its own strengths - be it in design, handling or the accessories included. The battery life of the lithium batteries in most models is sufficient for several rounds with 27 to 45 holes, which is a common and important feature. Individual preferences for design, technical features, weight and budget play the decisive role in choosing the right Trolley.
