Motocaddy QB2 Push Cart Review

It has taken Motocaddy eight years to replace its incredibly successful Cube push trolley. This kind of product lifecycle is a huge rarity in this industry and is a testament to the quality of the original. Indeed, I bet most of you reading have either used or played with someone using a Motocaddy Cube. I would even argue that its success has made the work 'Cube' a generic phrase referencing many of the best push carts, with many rivals offering interpretations of the Cube after its initial release. So, 2025 brings the sequel - the QB2. Can it be the Godfather II of the push cart world (an excellent sequel), or will it turn out to be more of a Jaws II (a not-so-great sequel).

The noticeable difference is that the QB2 is smaller than the Cube, 20% smaller in its folded state, to be exact. It utilises a very straightforward 2-step folded system similar to that of the Cube, and once you get used to it, it takes a matter of seconds to fold up or down.

The other noticeable difference is the size of the wheels. Motocaddy hasn’t quoted the exact size difference from old to new, but these new wheels are visibly larger and make for an even more frictionless push. When I first tested the QB2, I put it up against a PowaKaddy Micra that was being used in my fourball, and everyone who pushed both carts could feel a tangible difference in how easier the QB2 was to push. The wheels are on the skinnier side, making the trolley rock a bit on rougher terrain, but this is all worth it for the lowered friction it offers.

Though I prefer a brake situated around the handle area like on the BagBoy Slimfold, the footbrake on the QB2 is large and ergonomic enough to easily stamp on and off with your foot when required. Speaking of the handle, I really appreciated the scope of adjustability on offer to position it at the perfect height. It makes the trolley feel the perfect size, no matter what height you are, and makes for a comfortable walking experience.

The top bag handle also has a bit of wiggle room to adjust for most sizes of bags. It’s not quite as much as on the Sun Mountain Ridgeline 3, but it's enough to cope with large Tour bags or smaller stand bags fitting on there flush. If you have a Motocaddy bag, the QB2 also comes with the EasiLok system that allows corresponding bags to click into the bottom support without the need for a bungee strap.

Lastly, there are plenty of clever storage features in the handle area for your convenience. A scorecard holder, integrated accessories compartment, as well as a neat netting area beneath the handle offer plenty of room. I used the net area to hold my rangefinder while I was playing, leaving it a convenient area for regular use.

Overall, there is an air of the Godfather II about the Motocaddy QB2. The designers have taken what was a brilliant product and refined it ever so slightly to modernise the look and add some new quality of life features that make the QB2 a joy to use.

Whether it is right for you comes down mostly to the type of space you need to fit this into, either in your car or at home. Though the cube is the most common state a push cart will fold down into, the likes of the Big Max Blade IP 2 and BagBoy Slimfold have entered the market with different folding solutions, with the former folding incredibly flat and the latter folding away in a longer, skinnier way. If the cube is your preferred push cart shape, then I can't see any reason to stray away from the brand that made it famous in the first place.
