New Ranges From Motocaddy
We are pleased to announce that we have now received the latest Motocaddy electric trolley ranges with prices starting from £349.
In recent years lithium batteries have been outselling lead acid batteries for many reasons. The advantages of using a Motocaddy lithium battery are as follows: "
- Market-leading five-year comprehensive warranty.
- 75% lighter (compared to Lead-acid equivalent).
- Five-times longer lifespan (compared to Lead-acid equivalent).
- Compact and stylish design.
- Remains in place for easy transportation.
- Recharges is less than five hours.
Prices start from £449 for trollies with lithium batteries such as the S1 trolley. However for £499 you can get an S1 DHC which we have in stock in the pro shop. Introduced last season, the S1 DHC (Downhill Control) trolley incorporates the same features as the popular S1 model, but can maintain a constant speed while moving down a gradient, even on the steepest of slopes, thanks to a special single motor that offers downhill braking coupled with the UK's first electronic parking brake.
