Which Is The Best Remote Electric Golf Trolley Of 2025?

Right then, remote golf trolleys, an incredibly popular new gadget on the market

I'm seeing loads of these out on golf courses at the minute. And last time I did this video, about three years ago

I only really had three, maybe four to talk about that I thought were worthwhile. This year, I've got eight

So the market has expanded quite vastly in the last couple of years, and that's great

So I've got three categories I'm going to split up this test into today. The best value remote trolley, because there's a few value ones that have come out over the last year or so

The best with GPS, there's a couple with integrated GPS that are worth talking about

and then what I think are the best actual remote experience, like the physical use of the remote trolley, which is the best there

Right, let's get started. I'm going to start with best value. Right then, best value, and best value is under £1,000

That's the market. Don't have a go at me. I know that's a lot of money for a lot of people, but if you're in the market for it, this is the cheapest and best you're going to find

Two options here, Stuart V10 remote and Motocaddy ME remote. I'll start with Stuart V10, and the RRP of that is £1,100 or £1,200

quid but i know this is often on sale for either 999 or even 899 so check around shopping periods i

know you can catch this for under a thousand now it strikes quite a big pose isn't it it's pretty

out there this is basically a combination of stewart's old chassis you remember the classic

ones you saw back in the day with its latest and greatest technology uh i'll start with what i like

about it the remote experience is superb i love the wide wheelbase it makes it really steady over

the ground and as we all shoot with product the remote experience is always top top notch it's

got the latest ATC control under it which basically means as it goes up a hill or down a hill it will

maintain the speed you set it at it's never going to run away from you and as I said that wide

wheelbase makes it really really easy to control so that's what I love about it there are a few

things I don't love about it so bear these in mind this is just my opinion but to live with it's just

a little awkward like look at the size of it it is huge uh it doesn't fold down very small um it's

not very heavy admittedly i know it looks like a bit of a bulky thing but it's not very heavy

but to carry it in and out the car is really awkward you got to sort of hold it like a child

and it's just a little more awkward than some of the other ones you'll see today um taking the battery now it's a little fiddly you got to take the whole bonnet off to put the

battery in and just that sort of day-to-day quality of life taking it in and out the car

all that stuff is a little awkward with it it also doesn't have an anti-tip rear wheel it has

this sort of just sort of nub which is fine and does stop the trolley from tipping over but i don't

really understand why stuart just didn't put a wheel there to allow it when it does get caught on a bit of a hill just to move off for 899 if you can find it at that price that is brilliant

for a stuart product because you are getting an exemplary remote functionality trolley but yeah

just to live with it's a little big it's a little out there it's not to everybody's taste i don't

thing certainly not to mine unfortunately so what i would point you toward and win in my best value

is this the motorcade me remote at 999 under a thousand remote trolley is brilliant and what

you're getting here is an excellent remote trolley but with much better quality of life and folding

and just ease of use than the stewart motorcade trolleys fold up really small as part of the m

series these things are remarkably compact it's got a stand on it which is really useful which

which means it can stand up on its own, which I know doesn't sound like a lot

but when you're living with this day-to-day and trying to put it in and out of your car and leave it in the garage or whatever

having a trolley that just stands up on its own isn falling everywhere it makes you feel better I don know how to describe that I sure those who used these before will get that It pretty basic you know there nothing on the handle other than a dial

The battery's still got a wire, which is a little bit prehistoric nowadays

but that's fine. Listen, you're getting a cheaper trolley here. But the remote's excellent

And what else has it got? USB charging, which is kind of helpful as well if you need to charge the remote or anything

And actually, something that I just thought of literally now is that the steward you can only use in remote mode there's no way of flipping to handheld if

you're over a bridge or you're through a car park or something the motor caddy you can go from the

remote here into handheld because it's got the dial on the handle so that's something to bear in

mind as well so if you're in the market if you want to be part of this remote trolley revolution

we're seeing i'm seeing loads out on courses at the minute but you want to spend as little as

possible and get the best experience these are your two options if you're not worried about the

size and how much, how slightly, well, massive this thing is, great option, superb remote. If you want

something a bit more compact, a little bit easier to live with, in my opinion, go for the motorcaddy

Right then, my next category I'm going to pick a winner in is best remote GPS. Now, you'll see a lot

of people who, and a lot of remote trolleys, you want the full package here, right? You get the remote

you get the trolley, and you get an inbuilt GPS. It's the full experience, really. I've got three

to talk about. I only got one here with me today and I'll start with this one. It's the Motocaddy

M7 GPS. Now, this is a couple of reasons why I love this. Number one is the actual chassis itself

is brilliant. The battery self-disconnects as you fold it up and reveals the charging port

So you can just charge the battery directly from the chassis, which I love. I think it looks really

sleek. And again, because it's part of that M series, spoke about the ME, folds really compact

the wheels invert, it stands up on its own, it's so easy to live with, that goes for any motor caddy

remote trolley, so something to bear in mind if you're shopping in this market. The GPS, big

improvements, it hasn't actually physically changed, but full hole mapping is now included for free

they used to charge you for that subscription service, I never loved that, I'm really glad they got rid of it, and it means as soon as you open this thing, it's got the full works, right

Touchscreen's excellent, graphics are excellent, the full hole mapping is so useful if you're

playing different courses. Dynamic green view, so it's got the actual shape of the green on it

instead of something just generic. You can drag and drop the pin. You can drag and drop positions on the hole for layups. It's really intuitive and really easy. Unfortunately, I say unfortunately

in motor caddy sense, it's been superseded by power caddy this year. So I'll talk about

two power caddy products, the RX10 GPS and the RX12 GPS. Now, I only tested the RX12 GPS

but they're essentially the same product. It's not here with me today, unfortunately. It's back with Power Caddy

But what this has got is a five-inch, which is huge, portrait touchscreen

And changing that orientation from landscape on the motor caddy to portrait on the Power Caddy, I didn't think it would be that big a deal

But as soon as I got the Power Caddy on the course, it was a huge change. It just makes a lot more sense, doesn't it

Because you play a golf hole essentially in portrait mode. So you can see more of the hole

The fact it's five inches over the three and a half of the motor caddy, you got more screen to look at

It was really vivid, really vibrant, touch screen quality of like your iPhone

which is excellent as well. And for me that just completely elevated the GPS experience And I almost can see a good GPS now on a trolley whether remote or not that isn portrait It just makes 10 times more sense

So you've got the RX12 with a five inch screen and the RX10 has a, I think three and a half

3.8 inch touchscreen, about a 200 pound difference between those two. So if you're squeezing on budget

but still want that portrait screen, that's where the RX10 comes in. The power caddy itself, it looks great

The remote experience between the motor caddy and the power caddy, I can't tell the difference

There isn't one that's discernibly better than the other. But when we're talking about out and out GPS

that portrait screen on the power caddy is a complete game changer. And for me, that's why if you're in the market

for a remote trolley with a GPS, I'd go for the RX12

Right, my final category is going to talk about just the best remote experience out of all of these

If you're in the market for remote trolley and just want a good remote trolley, here we go, right

So Stuart is going to feature quite prominently here, but I've got two others to talk about. The first is a fun one, right

The Alfard Cyber Kart. The remote experience of this thing was outrageous

Absolutely, probably a bit better than the motor caddies and power caddies. Keeps right up with the stewards

for the out-and-out remote experience. It was super intuitive, easy to control, rapid

It had a decent remote on it. And for £12.49 here in the UK

a decent competitor to these guys, if you can get over the fact it does unfortunately just look a bit ridiculous

I'd look out for Alphard because they've clearly got some really good remote technology in the guts of the trolley, right

They just can't quite get the design cues right just yet. They've also got what's called the Club Booster V2, which I spoke about in my video two or three years ago

which I'll link to, which basically is the rear chassis of a trolley, remote controlled

that you can turn any of your pushcarts or corresponding pushcarts that they match up with into a remote trolley

Now this is about £800 in the UK and there's a great, should have put in the value section perhaps, value option here to look out for from Outvard as well

Again, a little bit complex, design cues aren't great, it's just a little bit uncultured but another great option

Look out for Outvard, I think they're going to figure that out in the years to come

More good remote experiences, Motor Caddy. Now the M7 remote, so we had M7 GPS which is this with GPS in it

We had ME, which is a real back to basics remote trolley

This sits somewhere in the middle. And I think if you like the look of the motor caddy trolleys, as I've said, to live with, they are brilliant

But just want remote and want it a bit more flashy than the ME

There's your product, right? Really good. Nice compact remote. I do like the remotes on the motor caddy and folds really easily

It's got that battery that self-disconnects and is just a joy to live with. So if you like the look of a motor caddy and want the best remote motor caddy

I'd go down the middle effectively of their line and go for the M7 remote but it is Stuart that

dominate the category when I'm talking about best remote right these guys came up with it

or at least follow technology about 20 years ago and they just do trolleys right Stuart I've been

to their factory a couple of times it's quite a lot of fun to go around they just do remote

trolleys and they do them really really well so I've got two to talk about here I'm going to start

What are the key follow? It's probably what most people know Stuart for, is that follow technology

where you put this, the remote on your back pocket, and the trolley follows you from a safe distance behind A lot of fun Gives you a real sense of freedom on the golf course when you just walking clubs are behind you it just you and the course It very enjoyable You can switch between hollow on your back pocket and remote really easily

And the same with the Vertex, which I'm going to speak about in a minute. I love the folding mechanism of the Stuart

Beats motor caddy out just, in my opinion, because it's super quick, folds impressively compact for the size these things fold out

and has a really clever handle on it that makes it really easy to lift in and out of your car

And again, I know it sounds like a really small thing, but when you're living with these things, those small details really add up to make the experience so much easier with them

And with the V10 I spoke about earlier, what you'll see in a lot of these trolleys, the Alphard, Power Caddy, Motor Caddy, is a 360 rotating front wheel, which is great

And it gives it great manoeuvrability on a circle on its own, right

But the wider wheelbase of these Stuarts just make them that more stable across ground

and I think that really makes them stand out when I'm talking about best remote experiences, right

So that's the Q-Follow, and now the Vertex here is everything the Q-Follow is without the Follow

So if you don't want Follow, if you don't feel like you're going to use that, you don't want to spend the extra money on Follow because it is a bit dearer

the Vertex is the one for you. It's got the same chassis, so that same great folding mechanism I spoke about

really wide wheelbase, really stable, and as the Stuart V10 Remote does

that active terrain control which basically means you barely have to touch the remote to keep it on

the same pace in the same direction you want which I think is what these things are all about

the last thing you'll be doing with a remote trolley is having to play the remote loads and

think about oh where's my trolley going oh god what speeds it going at the whole point of these

things is to try and take away from that and let you focus on your golf and enjoy the walk and enjoy

your golf and think about all of that right and that is what the Vertex does brilliantly and for

It's a toss up between the QFollow and the Vertex here, but I just don't end up using Follow that much

I just don't. I do it every now and again, but not as much as I'd like to

Therefore, why not go for a bit cheaper and just use the best remote trolley

which for me is the Stuart Vertex. So there we have it then. I hope that summary of my testing over the last sort of

two or three years, these things have been really helpful depending on where you are in the market

what you're after, whether it's value, GPS, or just the best remote. There's your winners

My winners are here, apart from the power caddy, obviously, because she's not here today. But the ME for value, the Vertex for overall remote experience and that Power Caddy GPS really blew me away

So well done, Power Caddy. On that, I'll pick an overall winner and I'll go for what I would spend my money on if I was a punter, right

If I was one of you watching. And it would be really close to these two because for a value experience, the ME is just brilliant

And if you want to start and use a remote for the first time, great, go for it. But that level up into the Vertex for me is just, it's worth that extra money

folding mechanism just how brilliant it is to use day to day and out on the golf course and how

little I have to interact with it makes it the best remote trolley if that makes sense so listen

I hope you found that helpful as I said if you like the look of any of these you've seen today

down in the description there's some links you can find them for the best price in your area if I've forgotten any or you should give some more love to one or another let me know down in the

comments I'd love to hear from you but for now from a resplendent full foot Heath golf club I'll

see you next time
