Best Electric Golf Caddies 2026

The average round of golf takes several hours and requires you to walk a good few miles in the process. Doing so while carrying your clubs can leave you feeling unduly fatigued, especially if the course is demanding. The best electric golf caddies enable you to still gain pleasure from walking the course, while giving your back and your feet something of a rest.

Unlike the best push carts, electric versions will carry your clubs from one hole to the next, allowing you to save energy, focus on the shot ahead and enjoy the view. Some of the best electric golf caddies even come with a built-in GPS, providing enough information that you’ll feel like you’re walking the fairways with Billy Foster or Mark Fulcher on your bag.

All this tech however does mean choosing the right electric golf caddy for you isn’t straightforward. Fortunately our team of experienced reviewers have put a wide range of carts through their paces - and they’ve chosen their favorites here, selected across a range of price points, size and functionalities.

If after reading this guide you’re still undecided, we also have comprehensive guides to the best push carts, and for those in the UK, we also have the best electric golf trolleys guide, featuring additional models only available in the British Isles.

Best Electric Golf Caddies 2026

The Quick List

Top pick

Our top pick in our electric caddie guide goes to the Vertx from Stewart, a trolley that particularly excels when it comes to remote functionality. This is part of the inclusion of Active Terrain Control, or ACT, which is a new operating system created to allow the trolley to adapt to the course and its gradients and undulations.

And it works. We deliberately tested the Vertx on some notably hilly courses and it tackled them with aplomb. The ACT is ably assisted by the trolley’s design, which positions two wheels upfront that delivered an ideal blend of maneuverability and stability.

Those of you familiar with Stewart trolleys will be at home with the Vertx. The two-step folding system is tried-and-tested and works effortlessly, resulting in a compact folding unit that’s easy to get in and out of the car as well as to store when not in use.

The Vertx does lack any GPS facility, which might prove a dealbreaker for some. The remote, despite working faultlessly, is a tad bulky, especially when compared with others in the guide. But if you're happy to go sans GPS, then it’s a great remote option.

Excellent GPS

I tested the Motocaddy 2025 M7 GPS Remote trolley and, while it ranked among the very best remote electric trolleys on the market, there were a few design tweaks I felt could have elevated the experience even further.

Testing the 2026 Motocaddy M7 was an absolute delight, largely thanks to a massive tech overhaul headlined by a new built-in touchscreen GPS. While it maintains a landscape display, the interface is noticeably faster and smoother than previous iterations - it features high-detail 3D hole maps, course flyovers and a pinch-and-zoom 2D view. It also comes packed with extra utilities including shot tracking and Bluetooth phone alerts if you want them, all paired with Motocaddy’s clever cable-free battery, which automatically disconnects and reveals its charge port as you fold it.

The remote control feature also sees major improvements, offering sharp, responsive steering. Packing this thing up post-round is effortless as the trolley collapses into a compact footprint using an auto-folding front wheel, inverting rear wheels, and a retracting stabilizer. Altogether, these refinements make the new M7 a top-tier, exceptionally well-rounded option among premium electric golf caddies.

Best remote

The Birdie 3X brings cutting-edge e-mobility technology to the golf course.With dual rear-drive motors and a sturdy five-wheel base, it effortlessly conquers 25% slopes while delivering an impressive 36 holes on a single charge.

The flexibility in terms of usability stood out to me during testing: users can toggle between manual power assistance, an intuitive remote control, and a hands-free mode that automatically follows you down the fairway. While the follow feature demands a bit of extra care around tight bridges and bunkers, the responsive remote control remains a pleasure to use, and the one-touch folding system simplifies teardown. Also, switching between the modes is very easy.

Capped off with an effortless one-touch fold that makes assembly and storage a breeze, the $1,700 price tag is steep but tech-savvy golfers will find plenty to love.

Best value

The best electric golf caddies are typically associated with providing value. After all, these are often all singing, all dancing affairs, with bells, whistles and plenty more besides. However, if you’re only really concerned with the electric function, then there are a few options that can help you save some money. And the best of those is the Motocaddy SE.

This is a great example of an electric trolley that’s fuss free, preferring instead to focus on functionality. This starts with the quality of the design and the build. Despite its lower price point, this is a well-made machine, with a folding mechanism that’s a doddle to use; in its folded size it’s not as compact as some in this guide but at 9kg or 19lbs it’s not the heaviest either.

The SE benefits from a number of features. The well-proportioned wheels have a new tread pattern that’s designed with durability in mind, while a USB charging port is located under the handle, allowing you to keep your phone or rangefinder topped up during the round. The lithium battery is also worth a mention, providing enough range for two full rounds.

Best screen

A high-performing electric golf cart needs to deliver accurate yardages and clear hole maps so golfers can navigate the course strategically. Powered by a responsive 1.1GHz processor and a vibrant 5-inch HD display, the PowaKaddy RX12 does just that.

I wasn't a fan of the screen on the previous model, but the RX12 fixes my concerns. The updated display offers point-to-point yardages, a movable pin, shot distance tracking, and detailed performance metrics like greens and fairways hit in regulation.

PowaKaddy also swapped out the RX1's awkward remote for a sleeker, redesigned handset. Although its tracking over bumpy terrain can lag behind a few direct competitors, the RX12 is an outstanding option for anyone looking for premium GPS capabilities paired with reliable remote functionality.

Unique follow feature

Tech-minded golfers will find plenty to love in the Stewart Golf Q Follow, an electric trolley whose marquee feature is its ability to follow you as you walk the golf course like a prime R2D2.

In testing, its tracking proved exceptionally reliable, bringing the trolley right to the ball every time. A smart, auto-deploying rear stabilizer provides rock-solid balance, while a quick setup process and built-in battery setup eliminate common operational headaches.

If you're a car park golfer who keeps their sticks in the trunk of their car or truck, I must point out this caddie is far from the most lightweight. The substantial weight means that if you're like me and have a bad lower back, you best be careful, but the well-designed built-in carry handle helps ease the load.

Most unique

While many electric golf carts can look pretty similar in design, with a predictable folding mechanism, the Cybercart chooses to forge its own path. It makes for a unique design, both in its overall appearance and in the folding system used. The latter is a clever one-step operation that, after a bit of practice, becomes straightforward. Unlike some trolleys in this guide, the wheels do need to be removed manually, but we didn’t find that this added an undue compilation.

The Cybercart does have a larger footprint than many of its rivals. It’s noticeably bigger and heavier, so won’t be best suited to those who are looking for a lightweight and compact caddy. If you live in an apartment and drive a Fiat 500 to the gold course, then look elsewhere!

However if you’re unperturbed by the Cybercart’s size then you’ll be rewarded out of the golf course. Its larger dimensions translate to a really stable trolley, with a wide wheelbase and low center of gravity allowing it to eat up the fairways, navigating sidehills and inclines with relative ease.

How we test

When we are testing electric golf caddies at Golf Monthly we always make sure to put them through comprehensive testing over multiple rounds. This way we can give you an extensive overview and insight when we are writing our reviews, this then helps you to make more informed decisions when it comes to purchasing one.

We will also try to where we can attend product launches and speak with manufacturer design teams to get a good understanding of the tech in the trolleys and what they offer. With the amount of tech being poured into trolleys these days understanding it and learning it is very important.

Our reviews are made by golfers, for golfers, with our goal being to provide our loyal readership with the best possible informed buying advice so they can make the right purchases to supplement and enhance their golfing setup for the best price possible. We are bias-free as well - no manufacturer gets preferential treatment over another, nor can a brand 'buy' a good review. We simply call it how we see it based on our extensive experience both reviewing and using these products.

How to choose an electric golf caddie

When it comes to buying a one of the best golf carts in the electric market, there are several key factors to consider before purchasing.

Manual/Remote/Follow

What we mean by this factor is what level of usability do you want your trolley to have? Manual electric carts are powered by a battery and then you manually control speed and direction.

Remote-control caddies, as the name suggests, can be controlled wirelessly with the use of a handset. Most remotes have four directions (forward, reverse, left, right), and because of this enhanced technology, these tend to cost a little bit more than manual models.

Finally, 'follow' models are designed to follow you around the golf course through wireless communications, often using Bluetooth. This means you don't really have to operate anything and the caddy simply follows you wherever you go.

Battery

Have a think about how powerful you want your trolley to be, which means have a think about the battery. If you want really powerful models then these are likely to cost more. Most models these days are fitted with lithium batteries because of how powerful they can be over a long period of time. Also consider how long you want the battery to last. Most caddies will comes with a 18 or 36 holes battery choice, with the latter costing a little bit more.

Features

At a very basic level a good electric golf caddie should transport your clubs around the golf course easily, but many electric models have a lot more features too so it is definitely worth having a think about which ones are important to you. Do you want your trolley to have a screen? Do you want GPS information? Do you want it to track your score? Consider how many toys you want on the caddy before you enter the market.

Foldability

Alternatively do you want a model that can fold down easily and conveniently when the time comes to store it away? Manufacturers are keenly aware that people may have limited space in the trunk of their car on in their garage and have made compact caddies with this in mind. If this is a key factor for you, check out our guide on the most compact models.

Budget

The final factor to think about is budget, what can you afford? With the variety of models above, you can find models that offer more value if that's what you want, but if you really want to go all out then there are also models for that too. If you are in the former camp, we would definitely recommend taking a look at our guide on the best affordable golf carts.
