You should evaluate the price, size, and weight of the motorized golf cart to ensure it fits your needs and budget.

Battery type and accessories round out the list of features to evaluate.

Most motorized push cart golf caddies will run between $700 and $2,999. On the low end are electric motors that you can add to your existing golf cart. On the high end are follow / remote control electric walking golf cart models with great maneuverability, stability, foldability, and ease of use.

The M7 Remote Electric Golf Caddy is a fantastic model. It is incredibly maneuverable and has an anti-tip wheel in the rear. The electric cart comes with a two year warranty and can run for 36 holes on a single charge.

The remote is very responsive and it is quite stable on hills. The rechargeable remote control handset conveniently clips to the caddy frame for easy access and storage. The cart has a simple folding mechanism and a “trunk friendly” design you’ll appreciate at the end of a round of golf.

The MGI Zip Navigator has a very tight turning radius thanks to its 360-degree front wheel. The Navigator has has multiple speed settings to help match your walking pace.

Weight
Even though you won’t be pushing the cart through the round, you may be getting it in and out of your car. If you worry about that, look for a lighter model.

Maneuverability
Getting a cart with 360-degree front wheel(s) allows for the most maneuverability as they tend to turn better. Carts with fixed front wheels tend to use differences in force to the wheels to make turns. That can be a bit on the jerky side and may tax the motors a bit more. It may also wear out the wheels faster. On the models that are designed to follow you, they will go wherever you go, so keep that in mind when walking. Remote controlled models may give you more flexibility and it is fun.

If maneuverability is a top consideration, consider Motocaddy M7 Remote and MGI Zip Navigator Remote. The Stewart Golf Q-Follow and X10 are other great options to consider.

Battery Life
I can’t think of anything more frustrating than having one of these go dead in the middle of a round. Battery life to finish your round is critical to a motorized golf cart being of value. Look for models with Lithium-ion batteries as they tend to last longer - some as much as 54 holes.

Stability
This is particularly important for hilly courses. I have a friend whose cart did not have rear stabilizers and would frequently tip going up hills. Look for wider stance and rear stabilizers if keeping your golf bag upright is an issue for you.

Other Features
Finally there are several other features to consider. Some models will connect to GPS to tell you how far it is to the hole, while some provide room for a golf cart cooler. Others allow you to mount a phone or attach a speaker and may provide a charge off the battery.
