Motocaddy 2026 ME Remote Electric Trolley Review: Is This All The Remote Trolley You Ever Need?
At the joint cheapest price point for a premium brand, the ME offers serious competition. Our Motocaddy 2026 ME Remote Electric trolley Review breaks down the upgrades that make this a 'budget' powerhouse.
Motocaddy has addressed all the small gripes we had with the last ME, improved on them, and kept the 2026 at the same accessible RRP. It is, for our money, the best 'entry-level' remote electric trolley on the market right now, offering easy use, compact folding and high build quality.

Just one year on from the release of the first-ever ME Remote - Motocaddy's entry-level remote-controlled golf trolley - and we have an updated version to enjoy. Lots have changed on this new model, and it appears the few issues I had with the 2025 model have all been amended. So how did the latest ME perform out on the golf course?
With an RRP here in the UK of £1099 (though I know already you can buy it for £999), it makes the ME the joint cheapest remote trolley from the big brands. PowaKaddy's RX Remote is the same price, while there are options such as the Alphard Club Booster V2, but this isn't one of the standalone remote golf trolleys, rather an add-on to an existing push cart.
The new wireless battery is the key change from the 2025 ME Remote.
So what's changed on the new ME? Firstly, the wired battery has been replaced with Motocaddy's wireless Click 'n' Connect battery instead. This heralds the end of wires on batteries, at least that is on the Motocaddy range. I'm really pleased to see this implemented into what is the 'budget' option, and it gives a much more premium feel to this product.
The battery has a clever feature where it automatically disconnects when you fold up the chassis. This reveals the battery's charging port, meaning you can charge the battery while it's still housed in the chassis. If you have access to your charger near where you store your trolley, it's a great added feature that means, in theory, you never have to remove the battery from the trolley.
This picture doesn't show the rear wheels inverted, which saves even more space when folded up.
Being part of Motocaddy's 'M' series means the ME can be folded very compactly. On the last version, you had to manually remove the rear stabiliser wheel to fold it up completely. Another nice update for 2026 means you don't have to remove it completely when folding it away, and now you can just slide the wheel into the chassis in one click.
It would be nice to see this implemented into the whole folding system one day, but for now, it's a much better solution than the last version and another quality of life update that makes the ME so easy to live with day to day.
The new remote includes a light at the top to let you know when commands are being recognised by the trolley.
There's also a new remote design for 2026, a much sleeker and more premium offering than the previous. It's tactile and responsive, while a green light at the very top lets you know the remote is communicating with the trolley.

Not much has changed under the bonnet, meaning the responsiveness and control you have of the trolley when it is in remote mode is excellent. It stops on command and responds well to any minor adjustments you make to its mood. Unlike the Stewart Vertx Remote, you can switch between remote and handheld control by simply pressing the handle on the dial.
It does tend to drift on side slopes, meaning you have to keep an eye on it along side slopes. But at this price point, a high-end gyroscope to keep the trolley pointing in the perfect direction up a hill is hard to find.
Though basic, the handle controls and easy and quick to use.
For future models, and this goes for the whole Motocaddy range, I'd love to see some storage options built into the handle. I've been testing a lot of the best push carts over the last few weeks, too, most of which come with a net beneath the handle and a scorecard holder, which is always useful. There's likely a good reason Motocaddy hasn't done this yet - perhaps it gets in the way of the compact folding mechanism - but I'd like to see that added at some point.
The rear stabiliser wheel can now be folded into the chassis without having to take it out completely, as was the case on the previous generation.
What Motocaddy has done is take all of the small issues I had with the first ME, correct them, and still keep the new model at the same RRP. Quite simply, it's the best 'entry-level' remote electric trolley on the market in my opinion. Compact folding, easy to use, and with some neat features that make day-to-day use of the trolley as stress-free as possible, it's hard to find a fault with this trolley for the price point it has hit.
If your interest has been piqued by the increasing number of remote electric trolleys on golf courses across the world in 2026, the Motocaddy ME might just be the perfect starting point for many.
