HOW MANY HOLES CAN I GET OUT OF THE BATTERY AND DOSE THE CHARGER COME WITH THE TROLLEY
CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME THE DELIVERY TIME
Jim,
The standard battery has enough power for at least 27 holes. We can also supply a larger battery that’s guaranteed for 36 holes, but this one is nearly 3kg heavier, so we don’t recommend it unless you play 36 regularly.
The GoKart does come with a battery charger and delivery is next working day for orders received before 3pm.
Regards
hi everyone. really pleased with the new gokart. excellent bit of kit. after getting absolutely soaked this morning was wondering if you sell an umberella holder? thanks.
Hi Jason – yes we do have a brolley holder. We’re out of stock at the mo but we’ve made a note to email you as soon as we have it available again – should only be a week or two. Sorry you got soggy…chucked it down here in Kent too.
Does your new golf bag include a cover/hood to go over the clubs, it doesn’t show on your site.
James – yes, there’s a top rain cover included.
I am looking too get the gokart as a present for fathers day and my family have asked me too find out what the seat is for ? now it maybe because I do like a sit down on the 9th but need to now will it hold only a certain weight and is it just fixed on too the trolley?
Hi Richard. The seat is for, well, sitting on. When the trolley is parked that is, not when you’re rolling along. It props on the wheel when you sit on it, and it’ll take quite a weight (up to around 20 stone).
Hiya Can i pay woth Laser (i live in Ireland) and how much is the delivery?
Hi Karen,
I’m afraid we don’t accept Laser as a form of payment. The carriage charge to Ireland is £40. Shout if you need any other info from us.
Hi I am very interested in your product. I have recently purchased a motocaddy cart bag with an umbreller and putter well. With my current manual trolley I find the top support bracket comes up against the umbrella. Would a mottocaddy bag fit ok on your Trolley?
Alfred,
To be honest we haven’t tried the Motocaddy bag (we haven’t got one here at GKHQ) but at the next opportunity we promise to accost a Motocaddy bag owner, rip off his bag and scuttle off to our waiting GK to test it. This might of course get us arrested, but all in the name of science I suppose. But if you were to order a trolley, and your bag didn’t fit, we’d always collect it and give you a refund. or (if we may be so bold) you might want to swap your Motocaddy bag for a lovely GoKart one to enhance your lovely new trolley…
Hello.
I would like to know if the GOKART electric golf trolley is all British and wether any parts at all are made in CHINA, also is the gearbox made of metal / steel. Many thanks. Colin
Hi Colin,
GoKart was designed and is manufactured by us, in the the UK. All the individual components are made for us, to our design. We carry out all the assembly in our own factory in Canterbury.
The majority of the components are also made in the UK – this includes all the moulded frame, the internal drive parts, and electronic controller.
The main parts we have had to source outside the UK are the battery, charger and motor. These are made in China. The battery is a standard part, but the charger and motor are still made specially to our own specification. These types of product is no longer manufactured on any scale in the West, so we didn’t really have a choice.
The gearbox is incorporated into the body of the trolley – it’s not a separate unit. The internal drive components themselves are either moulded using engineering polymers or machined from stainless steel. All moving parts run in sealed steel bearings.
Hope this is useful!
Please can you confirm if you do a 2 round battery or does the standard battery provided manage 36 holes easily?
Mark,
We have two batteries; an 18 and a 36 hole. The 18 hole battery is the one for most people. It has more than enough power for one round on any course.
hi all, i have a ram golf cart bag, could you advise if this will fit ok on your GoKart. many thanks
Stuart,
We’ve googled “Ram cart bag” and they make quite a few different styles. We’ve tried bags of all makes and sizes with the GoKart and never found one that can’t be used. I’m sure your bag would fit, but remember if you decided to buy a GoKart, you’ve got a month to use it to make sure it’s what you want. If it’s not suitable for any reason, we’ll collect it and give you a full refund.
I would like to order a umbrella holder would you please advice price and postage, thank you
The brolley holder is £19, plus £4 p&p.
I am thinking of buying one of your golf trolley’s but in your extra’s list it mentions battery fitting attachment . Do you need this extra attachment to fit on the battery or is one already fitted.
Derick,
You don’t need the battery fitting kit. If you buy a GoKart, including battery and charger, you get everything you need (apart from golf clubs, golf bag, golf ball and good hand/eye coordination).
The fitting kit is there for people who already have a battery which they want to use with the GoKart.
OK I entered your US Open Go-Kart competition. I predicted Tiger to win with 279. He finished in sixth place with 280. Was I near enough to win my trolley (or am I just off it)?
If I am allowed a second guess it would be Lucas Glover to win on 276.
Are back-dated entries allowed?
No, No, and No. But nice try. Good to have some golf to watch on a Monday wasn’t it!
Can hedgehogs be fitted to the GoKart without adverse effects?
Robert,
Yes, hedgehogs work fine with the GoKart. Use cable ties to keep them in place.
Hi,
Bought trolley 2 or 3 years a go – still going fine. GoKart supplied an improved bracket for the bag to lift it further off the trolley, which worked ok, although it would be good if this could be heightened futher to make it easier to get clubs out – small point.
Main query is…umberella holders to fit trolley. Do you have your own bespoke model or will a universal holder fit?
Are there any other accessories I need to be aware of?
Hi Cliff – Yes we do have an umbrella holder (which is out of stock currently but we’ll email you when it’s available again) Other types of holders won’t fit, as they’re designed for the more usula tubular framed trolleys. If you look on the accessory page of the website http://www.gokart.co.uk/the-go-kart/accessories/ you’ll see a golf bag, a seat, transit bag, a brolly and soon there’ll be a drinks holder. Plenty to get shopping with!
Hello again, marvellous people :) any remote indications on a new trolley coming out? And if so, what features? You might as well reserve one now for me.
Hey guys!
Just wondering..
I assume that the little scrolling thing (ie. the throttle).. doesn’t have to be permantly held for the cart to cruise along? i ask because in all the vids, the chap has his had rested on it. i assume you can set the throttle an it will cruise along on its own (ie. without me having my finger on the scrollling wheel thing)
Ta
Dave
Dave,
No you don’t have to keep your hand on the controls at all once you’ve set the speed. You can just walk along beside or behind your GoKart and it’ll trundle along on its own. They’re very well trained you know.
hi Guys,
Fantastic website. Great reviews. I am seriously thinking of jumping on the Electric trolley bandwagon and i feel GoKart would be the best place to start. May be a dumb question…… there is no mention of brakes, so how does the cart stay parked on slopes?
I hope the Titleist RC09 cart bag fits in fine on this trolley.
Nik,
You’re right, the GoKart doesn’t have a parking brake (we don’t know of an electric trolley that does). It really not a problem though; after a couple of rounds you’d find you were parking it across the slope without even realising it. The RC09 will fit the GoKart perfectly.
Are you planning any “Winter Wheels”? I have currently screwed Hedgehogs to my main wheels, and have had no complaints yet.
No Trolley Notice From Lingfield Park Golf Club.
To keep the Golf Course in as good condition as possible all notices that are posted have long term implications.
The `No Trolley` notice is posted to protect all playing surfaces.
Hedgehog wheel covers can be used at all times on a standard pull trolley.
Powakaddy and other leading brand winter wheel can be fitted and used all year round.
To respect all members who abide by these rules; would all members please do the same.
Thank you for your co-operation
Management
hey guy’s …. oohhh eeehhhh and gals ( i suppose )..
let me just start by saying that website is not mine i ehhh, accidentally happened to come accross that looking for eemmmm wallpaper samples, yeh that sounds plausible..
i’ve had my trolley for a few years now, in fact i’m on to my second one now. traded original light grey one for the smoother, quieter black one. and let me just say how awesome it is
the only problem is, Iam really lazy. i mean why do i have to take my hands out of my pockets to use that wee scroller thingy on the handle, what I’m gettin at is :- do you have any plans in the future to bring out a remote version of the already great GOKART.
cheers
andy
Hi Andy,
No plans for the moment. Now we’re off to look at this website that’s got you blushing…
Hi, I am currently checking out the trolley market as mine needs replacing. I have noticed your Gokart, does not have a distance control
gadget to send it off to the next tee.
Is there any plans to introudce such a gadget any time soon.
Thanks.
Roy.
Hi Roy,
Not at the moment but the boffins here are always musing over this and that. We do rather like a simple approach to the golf trolley, and the Gokart certainly is very neat, simple and effective.
Hi
My wife and I are avid golfers,last week I played against a golfer whom had one of your gokarts,I was very impressed with the gokart and am thinking of buying maybe two 36 hole buggies,at the moment we have two powercaddy buggies with powercaddie bags,my question is ,do you sell special golf bags to fit your gokarts
regards Mr D Mavin
Dear David, Yes we do make a golf bag to match the trolley take a look here There will very soon be an orange and an all black bag available too. But you can in fact use any cart bag on the GoKart. Ours look very smart of course…
I bought a GoKart last year and would like to have 2 sent to my Portuguese address by the cheapest method. What can you do for me.?
There are 2 GoKarts at present in our golf club at home.
Regards
Grahame.
Grahame, we’ll send you a quote okay – it would be shipped by our Dutch office who handle the rest of Europe.
Question: will the Powakaddy Delux iii bag key lock base fit the foot of the Go Kart thereby helping the bag not to twist.
Bags don’t tend to twist on the GoKart at all. Once you put them in place they behave.
because of an extremely steep hill on our course I need a brake to slow the trolley down. does it hve a brake?
Hi Tom,
There isn’t a brake on the GoKart. We find the best way to give more control on extreme slopes is to turn the trolley round, and with the power off, just walk down in front of it. This causes the motor to generate a braking effect and solves the problem quite neatly.
are there any dealers supplying your golf trolleys in northern ireland?
Ralph,
We don’t have any dealers. You can buy the GoKart direct from us and we’ll deliver in two or three working days. We also offer full after sales service, and take care of any issues very quickly and easily.
Can the go kart fit in the front boot of a porsche boxter, golf clubs fit in the back boot.
