For those who may not have the budget to stretch to a Powakaddy or Motocaddy model, the Pro Rider electric golf trolley range is a good option. PowaKaddy’s ‘plug ‘n’ play’ battery is the thinnest, lightest and most powerful lithium battery on the market and ensures there are no wires to connect, while the top mounted and easy access on/off switch and simple battery release latch make it supremely simple to use. The fully integrated GPS comes with 40,000 pre-loaded courses from across the globe with no annual fees or subscriptions – all displayed on a 3.5” high visibility TFT full-colour Touch widescreen display. This provides intelligent performance on the golf course, including a scorecard, stroke index information (for both men and women), Active Green View to show the green’s shape, and Drop Flag technology to give accurate and precise distance measurement to any pin position.

As the centrepiece in the outstanding range, the Powakaddy FX7 GPS EBS™ Electric Golf Trolley is the most intelligent and high-performance trolley on the market. PowaKaddy’s classic push trolley has been given a fifth-generation update for 2021 with the brand calling it “simplicity refined”. As I have already mentioned, the FX7 GPS trolley felt light to carry - arguably more impressive however was how light it felt to push too. I suppose this can depend on how heavy your golf bag is but still, given the build quality and the amount of features this trolley has, it's light. On many of the flat holes I found myself pushing the trolley with ease around the fairways, sometimes forgetting to even use the motor. I actually found it more nimble than the C2i GPS, which was a big surprise. The quality of the Powakaddy and Motocaddy golf trolleys speak for themselves. For this reason it’s rare that you’ll find a discount on either of the golf trolleys.

When carrying from boot to course, even with the battery in, I found the trolley lightweight and easy to manoeuvre. Weighing just 9.6kg without a battery, older golfers will have no problem carrying the trolley. However I did think that this could have been made slightly easier with an obvious handle on the trolley, like the C2i GPS trolley had.

Extended Battery (Lithium): this can handle the occasional 36 holes, and this is as much as you should use it for before fully charging it again for your next round. Regularly using the battery for two rounds of golf on consecutive days means that the battery may not be fully re-charged in between and will damage the overall capacity of the battery or seriously shorten the battery’s life. If you regularly play two rounds of golf in one day, buy two batteries.

PowaKaddy have designed the DLX-Lite FF to fold into the flattest sandwich shape possible. So it’s thin enough to be laid over or under your golf bag in the boot. And if you drive a car with very limited space, it can slip neatly into the footwell behind the driver’s seat.

The new FX7 GPS with Bluetooth surpasses even these high expectations, focusing on what matters most. Still, once attached and screwed in place it will be up to the golfer whether they choose to dismantle this section of the trolley after each use or not. Personally, if you have the boot size, once screwing it on once, I'd leave it on so this isn't a reoccurring faff. You would think that after selling more than One Million Electric Trolleys Powakaddy would be making the perfect golf trolley by now, well I must say it is good, but a long way from being perfect.
