  1. Keep us informed! I did a number of searches re: squeal and noise in your video with no results. It would be great information to keep In memory. thanks - Ben
  2. Wafflehousetour, Before removing the lock from the cart. Are you able to push the locking tooth in an and have it recoil easily on its own? If it feels gritty or the spring is not pushing the tooth out easily, in my case I removed the button from the cart (be careful the locking button has 2 internal spring - it would create a whole new problem if 1 was lost) I used my compressor to blast out as much sand, dirt or whatever else may have been obstructing the button from working correctly, then used WD40 dry lube to help with sticking (I’m sure with the location of the button it will be a regular maintenance item) so far for me - it’s working good. I’m no expert, but you may want to look at the spring behind the locking tooth to see if something is obstructing that spring from traveling back and forth correctly. Best of luck!
  3. Yes, I keep the BagBoy in a tub I picked up at Home Depot. And, no the lid will not fit. Tub purchased at Home Depot 14 Gallon, photo attached is the Tub Label - keeps all the debris out of the car. You’ll need to remove the front wheel. I lay the wheel in the tub it sits under the BagBoy. please notice, the front of the Bagboy hangs on top of and over the tubs edge. This has never been a problem for me.
  4. I’ve purchased my BagBoy Volt just 2 months ago. I have maybe 20 rounds of golf on it, and I’m very happy with my purchase. One issue came up, the release button for the battery got stuck in the depressed position and would not “pop” out. Before I man handled it - I contacted the support person and discussed. He never ran to the issue before, looking at the clip that holds the button in place - it seemed fairly easy to assume- push the 2 tabs in and it should release. As we were confirming the theory. He came up with a quick solution- to use small needle nose pliers to push both tabs in together and at the same time push the assembly through the frame. Worked great - cause was debris that caused the button to stick. Very easy fix. Comments about tracking, yes - your not going to go straight on an incline- but I can hold the handle and help the cart up or down the course as needed (tip) one real help for me - I switch the cart into manual mode going down hills, crossing bridges, or anywhere that may cause a tip and fall. Tipping over when going up hill. So I could some small square 2 lb weights (2x4x1” thick) they are used in weight work out vests - based on my bag and “stuff” and my umbrella (old guys need to stay out of the sun) I add the number of weights to create counter balance. It works great! I do lose some battery - but on average I have 2 lights at the end of 18 holes. Scorecard hack, this has worked out great for me. I don’t like using the lid cover as a clipboard so I made one to fit the unused side of the umbrella holder. $3 small clipboard, pvc (3/4” tee, 3”s of 3/4” pipe, 3/4” cap, 3” bolt and twist nut, rubber washer) paint - because I like it to match. Purchased a small clipboard (it needed to be trimmed to a scorecard size. Cut the upper half of a pvc t in half and epoxied to the bottom of the clipboard. Drilled a hole in the top of the cap to hold the nut added a washer. The used my belt sander to miter the cap - so once assembled the scorecard would tilt towards the rear of the cart. ( after mitering the cap - I covered the mitered area with epoxy to strengthen- and fill the hole left after the miter) painted it black - and it works great!! Highly recommend a little DIY time. TIp - I see lots of courses now renting these e-carts , give it a try - who knows - you may have one next! Scorecard holder pic’s (google link) at the end of the day. My BagBoy Volt - Best retirement gift I’ve ever given myself.
