MGI Zip X5 Electric Golf Cart - 36 Hole Battery - (Drink, Umbrella, & GPS Phone)

A must have if you are a golfer that loves to walk. This battery operated cart makes you feel less fatigued at the end of the golf game, compared to a push cart (no motor). This is a very sturdy cart. I have the chair with mine, and the balance is great even when sitting on my chair. The straps keep your bag very steady. The size makes it easy to get in and out of the car. It folds up pretty compact. The design is great. I also have the cooler which attaches on the back, and provides easy access to your snacks. The price was competitive. The speed is very consistent and easy to predict.

My wife loves this, we have had it for 2 golf seasons and works great every time..

First off, I had to return my first one after the gears broke stranding me on the golf course. (Amazon did agree to give me a refund and I reordered the same cart.) Overall, I like this product. I needed to walk more to get back into incredible shape since a knee injury had me riding and trying to run again. The only thing Zip does wrong in the design is that the phone holder is not designed for today's larger phones. YOUR PHONE WILL SLIP OUT - if you do not use rubber bands to hold it to the phone holder. I decided to not use it any more because if you don't use that hook-up spot, there's a handy score card and pencil holder. The cart is a good workhorse. I also strap on a boom box and cooler.

I did a lot of research before buying this cart and it was highly rated pretty much everywhere. I am very happy with it. My golf course was recently totally renovated so we will be cart path only for quite awhile. I like to walk but find pushing a hand cart to be way too tiring. This is like walking with a caddy! You set the speed and it goes, with our without hands on the handles. Just a light touch to steer it. It is very sturdy and well made, indeed a bit heavy when folded up but I can manage it. The speed dial is very light to the touch so I often find myself inadvertently increasing the speed, but this is just a learning process. The phone holder accessory is useless - my phone popped out of it the first time I used it - but other accessories like the scorecard holder are worth getting. Very pleased with my purchase.

My husband loves being able to walk the golf course with his new cart.

My course is quite hilly and we've been restricted to cart path only because of the Texas drought. I'd rather walk than grab three clubs and walk across the fairway before every shot, so I bought this for the duration of the rule. I doubt I'll ever ride a cart again. At 64, I rarely have my expectations exceeded, but this thing is bloody brilliant. The quality is excellent and assembly is very simple. It's quite a bit larger when folded than a regular pushcart, but quite light and easy to put into the back of my SUV. Battery lasts 18 holes easily, but does require overnight charging, so if you want to play 36 a second battery is in order, or spring for the larger one. Operation is simple even for this techno numpty. Comes with a cup holder and a little grabby thing for my range finder. I'm pretty good at finding fault, but can't find a single thing to complain about.

I am not going to say the same as the others nor address the same features as others. This is a great Caddy, very sharp looking, light and almost good.But it has 9 speeds and no 1/2 speeds. The Rheostat is not seamless if your pace doesn't match you are in for an awful day. Likewise the front wheels even when tweaked and adjusted do not keep the cart straight. Put too much weight in one side or other and it runs crooked. The Free Mode requires you to tip the cart and unlock the wheels. Not overly handy. Also, the cart can be sent ahead by holding down on the Rheostat until 5 flashes in Yds. then turning the Rheostat from 5 to 60 yds/mtrs push the rheostat down and off it goes. BUT...You have to do this EVERY time so 4 times on a 240 yd drive. The Rheostat is placed right in the middle of the Handle and is easy to bump one direction or another. So you're now in for a chase or run smack into the slowed stopped caddy.One would think in our day and age the Rheostat would be like many others, seamless. My wife and I returned ours. We are definitely going to buy a different caddy that has Remote Control + Walk behind seamless Rheostat and with power off, free wheel. If you buy this, KEEP THE BOX! Finally, all MGI Caddy's use the same Rheostat. You been Warned! Fairways and Greens.

Since receiving the cart I've used it about 20 times for 18 holes. The cart is well made and easy to assemble. It's easy to break down and put into your van or car trunk. The battery charges really quick. After 18 holes it charges in about 2 hours.As 1 reviewer said, "The phone holder accessory is useless". I agree. Your clubs will spill out over top the holder and the phone is not easily accessible.Another reviewer said, "the user interface (aka the speed start/stop button) is ridiculous. it’s hard to describe how disappointing it is. Too easy to turn. To easy to bump." Agree. I bump the button frequently and the cart takes off! If it's at a high number I have to RUN after it because it won't stop without the button being depressed or it hits a tree or goes in a lake. Big, big problem.Another reviewer said, "it has 9 speeds and no 1/2 speeds. The Rheostat is not seamless.... The Rheostat is placed right in the middle of the Handle and is easy to bump one direction or another. So you're now in for a chase or run smack into the slowed stopped caddy". Agree. It's either too fast or too slow. Also, the golfer needs to increase speed going up-hills and reduce speed going down.Also, if you have a 'stand' bag it will not fit properly on the cart.All-in-all I like the cart but it has issues. A friend bought a BatCaddy the same time and his has a remote AND it's cheaper. I should have bought a caddy with remote but MGI is significantly higher priced. The remote would allow me to correct the direction of the cart instead of having to constantly hold the handle and direct the cart.
