Loving the thread!  Great job testers, really good feedback!! I'll be on at 6 PM PST tomorrow if anyone would like to ask any questions, or feel free to post in the meantime and I'll make sure to answer!

@Motocaddy Prez any plans on including a follow me feature in future models?

I am in the Tacoma area for business sometimes...

[golfish!]

@xOldBenKenobiX yeah this thing really gets moving at speed setting 9. I have to do a light jog in order to keep up with it. Maybe I will try that for a twilight round when the field is wide open at my local course and see how fast I can finish a round. I have finished 18 in under 3 hours just at a standard walking pace with my manual push cart by myself before~

Your video does me no good, you hit it right in the middle of the fairway 

@TBT Yeah I was watching @Tpoole22 video thinking "did he actually hit a ball or is just walking on the course because this video is 2 minutes long..." nice ball Thomas! Just for you @TBT I will hit a few into the trees and take some video!

I love that, it allows you to get some fast paced steps without having to push the cart, off course you will look like a mad man running around, but still it is pretty awesome.

Rick Shiels is sponsored by Motocaddy in the UK. @Motocaddy Prez any hopes for a collabo with Rick here in the US someday? I watched a lot of his instruction videos early on in my golf improvement journey but now I just watch his videos because they are entertaining! Would be cool to meet him.

The Prednisone pack is doing it's job so I'm getting back on the walking trail tomorrow!  I shot 87 today riding so I actually shoot better walking.  

Maybe you can ride the Motocaddy and carry your bag!

Do you have a trade-in or trade up program for competitive electric carts?

That's huge. I play a lot of "time-restricted" rounds and I was a little concerned that a motorized cart might slow me down a bit. Early and late in the season I need to be able to get around 18 in just under 2.5 hours, which I can do with a walking cart as long as I'm moving at a good pace.

@Motocaddy Prez not that we would for you know liability reasons but is there a max carry weight that the carts can withstand? just asking for a friend who plays with a lot of lead tape in his bag...

That would be a pretty good way for marketing to get new customers.

@edingcI don't see how a motorized cart would slow you down! Are you worried about the weight or speed? This unit has speeds from 1-9 which are 1 - baby crawling speed to 9 - light jog speed. Not sure about other units but I would assume other motorized push carts have similar speed settings. The acceleration from full stop to full speed is pretty quick too so the cart can get away from you if you have the speed setting too high. For the sake of testing I will launch my Motocaddy at speed setting 9 and let it go for a second and run to catch it on my next video!

We don't as of yet, but a good idea for sure!

The only motorized cart I've seen in the "wild" at my home course was quite slow. I figured it could go slightly faster, but the videos on here show they can fly. I walk a very, very quick pace and do jog occasionally as well. 

Again, reviews are great so far and love reading your comments/feedback.

Managed to get out for 18 tonight and really put the cart to the test. I only hit 5 gir so I was all over the hills and sides of the greens today. Didnt even flip over the cart today, but I can definitely tell that the bag is more secure with the motocaddy bag. One thing that I did notice is that if you are on a steep hill you need to make sure to put the brake on, otherwise it can slowly creep down the hill.

I got a video showing how easy it is to move the flag position on the screen. Meant to add in the score tracking feature but forgot once I got out there.

If there's any other features that yall would like to see just let me know.

 

Awesome looking setup!       I'll have mine roaming the course Friday

Need to see how it drives in deep rough too

Actually I have so many bags and clubs I can try a variety.

Love it! But if I could quickly butt in here...

As an fyi, I had been using a stand bag on my push cart .. each of which has "Top Lok" technology so they fit together securely, no need for straps .. then when I got an MGI Zip Navigator I quickly found that the stand bag absolutely does not work on it - cart bag required...

Don't know about the Moto but curious to see what you find out!

Common problem with stand bags and push carts / electric caddies.  Most stand bags on the market have the stand mechanism at the top of the bag outside of the bag frame.  Our bags are specifically designed for push carts / electric caddies (not just for ours carts, but any) in that every feature is designed for best pocket placement, bag top configuration, etc.  Our Hydroflex bags have the stand built on the inside of the bag structure rather than the outside, so there is no protrusion resting against the cart causing instability in the fit.

I’ve received many compliments on the bag

Same here. I can't use my stand bag on my manual push cart and I assume the Motocaddy would have the same issue. Even with the straps I think the stand bags will rotate on the push carts due to their structure like Roger mentioned.
