This is a well-built, sturdy golf cart, which is easy to fold and unfold. The handle is easily the most comfortable of any cart I have owned, and the fourth wheel( a rarity on non-remote models) on the back prevents the trolley from tipping over when going up hills. This is not a remote model, but I sometimes just let it go on ahead without holding onto the handle and walk beside or behind it. The standard battery recharges in just 2 hours. It is in a unit that just snaps into place without having to worry about severing wires(something I did on my last trolley!). The battery's strength is measured in four boxes on the machine, but even after 18 holes, it still showed full strength. And that's after using it on a hilly New England course. It's got power to spare. ... MoreThis is a well-built, sturdy golf cart, which is easy to fold and unfold.

It is in a unit that just snaps into place without having to worry about severing wires(something I did on my last trolley!). The battery's strength is measured in four boxes on the machine, but even after 18 holes, it still showed full strength. And that's after using it on a hilly New England course. It's got power to spare. The front two wheels swivel, which make it easy to turn, but it still can go straight if I want to just let it go(The GFI company recommends locking the front wheels if you want to go straight).The trolley comes with a cup holder, wheel covers(never seen that before), a multi-purpose clip, and an umbrella holder, which is by far, the strongest I have ever seen on any trolley(used it today in the rain). Surprisingly, the trolley doesn't come with a scorecard holder, but you can buy one from MGI for $37. Instead, I found a way to do without it: You can use the clip provided to hold onto your card; it even has a "sleeve" for your pencil. Another way around a scorecard holder is to use the large clip which is attached to the cover of the GPS unit on the top of the machine. Of course you then can't use it for your GPS. This is the method I use.Some things I would like to see: larger wheels to help move it if the battery dies on the course and you need to free wheel it; a better speed control button. This one is horizontal on the top of the machine and somewhat recessed. I would prefer a wheel in a vertical position on the side, which is where it is on most other trolleys. Lastly, it's a bit awkward to lift the trolley into my trunk whether the wheels are set in a regular position or reversed to save space. There is just no easy way to lift it.Someone reviewed this trolley and said that he wished it had a 4.5 speed. After using the unit, I tend to agree: 4 is a bit too slow for me, while 5 is a bit too fast. The Goldilocks position would be a 4.5. By the way, it does have many available speeds, from 1 to, I think, 8, which is very fast!This is my third battery-operated trolley and I like it the best of all. I hope I have many years of positive experiences with it.

I decided to actually use this cart for a few months before giving a review. I have to say this is exactly what I wanted and has lived up to my expectations. Great battery life, I can easily get in a full 7000 yard round and then 3 or 4 laps of the 9 hole par 3 course on a single charge with a few bars left over. Very stable, hasn't even hinted at falling over even on some pretty good side hills around the greens. I usually set the speed at 5 and its the perfect pace for me. I do wish some of the other settings were a bit more intuitive, I don't use the auto distance or distance counter because I always forget how to activate and reset them. A touchscreen would be awesome, even if it bumped the price by $100.5 Star product.

Purchased this cart in February and put it in play this season. I'm 62 yr old, I walk regularly for exercise and now walking 18 holes is so much easier (especially going up hills) with the Zip 3. It is easy to use and I have experienced no issues with battery life or recharging the battery. I can easily play 18 holes without worrying about the battery dying and I believe I could most likely play 36 holes without recharging the battery. The accessories (GPS holder, umbrella holder, bottle holder & scorecard holder) were a great addition. The cart is a bit heavier than my old Clickgear cart, but, I can easily load it in and out of my car. The Zip 3 does not have a remote control, but, I honestly don't believe I need a remote. Overall this is an excellent cart and I am ... MorePurchased this cart in February and put it in play this season.
