 Have recently suffered some back problems, on my last round of golf I hired an electric trolley for the day.  Wow what a revelation!  I am now a convert and am looking to buy, but its hard to decide which.  There doesn't seem much difference between Motocaddy S1 and Powakaddy Freeway, can anyone recommend?
And then I see other options like the EZiCaddy, £299 including a bag, has anyone bought one of these, and if so was it worth it?

Please, any advice would be much appreciated.

Robin

Robin, whichever one you go for, remember to charge the battery & don't leave the lights on !!

I have had a POWER CADDY FREEWAY for about  15 years its still going strong,I bought it with two batteries and only replaced them last year
I  had a new cluch fitted a couple of years back cost about £80,and a new handle with a controller last year £40.
If I where to buy a new one I would not hesitate to buy powa caddy again,on average I must use it 2-3 times a week in the summer,it has probably done more miles than my car.
They may be more expensive than others around but you get whats written on the can, V.F.M.

My Powacaddy was a bargain, a present from my wife... so saying it is more than adequate with a wide variety of add ons and stuff...   I managed to drop the original 36 hole battery and now it is only 8 volts (should be 12) so had to replace at market rate, even paid fo it myself.  I have seen other makes on the course and the moto caddy looks OK and is well regared by some of my society peers.

The Pwacaddy also makes soothing whalesong noises as I navigate different courses... and I know that my game has improved with the electric trolley (as I have more energy for longer in each round).

Plus there's a whole new range of Powacaddy stuff coming onto the market, including a USB adaptor (keep your satnav fully charged ) or use it to drain the battery fully between eahc charge and recharge phones, ipods and stuff with whatever is left after each 18 holes.  I believe that would keep thebattery in good condition for longer... plus it is energy efficient and green and carbon neutral...

OK I talked myself into the next new gadget for Powacaddy - USB adaptor...

I have recently purchased the EZiCaddy, with a free bag, and so far I am very happy with it.
