The battery life on this product is supposed to last a full round of golf, 18 holes.  The frame itself is pretty light, but the battery is a lead acid battery and is very heavy which weighs down the design.  This is a problem because the market for these products is the elderly and some have trouble lifting heavy items.  This item has some trouble on a hilly course. 

This cart  moves slow when a heavy tour style bag is used.  This makes it difficult when going up hills too, sometimes it does not even make it up.  The battery life is advertised for 18 holes, but consumers have reported using it for up to 27 holes without having to recharge.  Steering on the hills is also a concern, it tends to over steer going uphill and is even worse when going downhill.  This cart is also heavier than the consumer would like and makes it difficult when loading into a vehicle .

This product is easy to control but no remote control system is available.  Some users have reported that on dewy courses the wheels have been known to slip on the grass.  Bigger golf bags also do not sometimes fit on the cart.  There are 3 timer buttons which allow the golfer to send the cart ahead unassisted for 15, 30, and 60 yards.  This is done by the number of wheel revolutions regardless of the speed.
