MGIZip X1 Electric Golf Cart - 36 Hole Battery - (GPS Phone)

Great trolley. Easy to assemble and runs nicely. Powerful but quiet.

The shipping was a week earlier than expected. The product is great and gets around 18 holes with no problem. The only suggestion I could make is to use a rotary dial potentiometer instead of preset speeds 1 thru 9. I am between 4 and 5 for speed

This powered cart makes it possible for me to walk 18 holes much more than I would have thought possible. It was definitely a worthwhile purchase, but it does have some frustrating features.The pros:- Many features are well-designed - wheels, battery, most of the ergonomics aside from the speed-control button.- It's sturdy and well-made.- Good battery life.- Folds up easily and compactly.- It's easy to move the battery from cart to charger and back; simple, workable design.- Customer service is responsive.- Climbs and steers well.The cons:- Incremental, not variable, speed control. Four is too slow and 5 is too fast.- There's no brake. It needs a parking brake.- The battery sits towards the back, putting the center of gravity towards the back, so the cart tips back going up slopes. The golf bag is tipped back a little further than is optimum. It's a trade-off with the well-designed battery attachment, so to be somewhat forgiven.- Accessories are poorly designed. The cupholder falls off easily. The small cubby by the controls is too small to be of much use, as is the scorecard holder. And the pencil holder doesn't actually hold onto most pencils. Optional accessories are overpriced.The cart quit after a few months - just a "b" on the display screen and no movement. Customer service helped us troubleshoot, then sent one part that we changed out easily. That didn't fix it, so they immediately sent out another part. That was a little more of a chore to change out, but the video was comprehensive, so not a problem. It solved our issue and I had a great first season with a somewhat imperfect, but still very helpful, power cart.

I use it every week

I had bought my wife an MGI Zip X1 two years ago, and she loves it. The golf club we belong has a course that is hilly. We both like to walk, but pushing a cart can be taxing over the course of a round. This cart gives her the ability to walk. The quality is excellent and the batter life is great. I liked it so much that I bought one for myself this past spring, and after using it for the summer I wouldn't trade it for anything. I highly recommend it.

Awesome

This should be a 5 star review. Because I really do love my Zip X1 electric caddie. It really is a great addition to my game and has me walking again on the golf course which is awesome. However, BEWARE, while the caddie works great, it has no real brake! And during my most recent round a gust of wind caught it just right and pushed it enough to roll down a hill and into a creek! It could have been a major disaster since my iPhone was also attached to my X1. Luckily I was able to jump in the creek and recover everything with the only casualty being my laser range finder. But again it could have been much, much worse. I called USA customer service to convey my story, and while they were perfectly polite, their reaction was somewhat underwhelming. I’m out $200 for my range finder, but it could have easily also been my iPhone, or I might have snapped a club shaft. Big design flaw that needs to be remedied in future models. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I think it’s important for anyone thinking about purchasing one of these and the company to know about the potential problem this missing feature can cause.

Great product. Solid build. I had it for only a month now but it has been a very positive experience so far.They could make a couple of improvements however.1. My old Rovic push cart uses a clever system to lock the top of my Sun Mountain bag in place, so it would not roll during a round. With the MGI I use a piece of styrofoam that I place in between the bag and the top bracket. It does the trick but the Rovic lock system is a much better solution. It would be an improvement for MGI to consider.2. The weight balance seems to favor the back of the cart and as a result the fourth wheel is often engaged. Not a deal breaker but a bit irritating when the cart tilts backwards. I weigh the bottom of my golf bag down with a large (heavy) thermo flask with water so the front wheel stays on the ground.Other than that, great product and the cost appears to be more reasonable than competing brands. I have walked a couple of rounds when it was hot and humid and felt not all that exhausted at the end. If you prefer walking over riding and don't want to drain all your energy or your wallet, this is a cart to consider.
