Motocaddy M-Tech trolley review: First impressions
The new design features – more on those later – give the trolley a premium feel from the moment you take it out of the box.
New styling provides a striking new shape which is eye-catching and space-efficient.
Motocaddy M-Tech trolley review: The technology
The new premium M-Tech trolley model will be available in limited quantities and heads up the compact-folding M-Series range.
It features a super-lightweight battery which has a capacity to do 36+ holes and also features high-power 28V electronics. The M-Tech has nine speed settings, allowing the trolley to move at the perfect walking pace.
The M-Tech has many luxury finishes include hand-stitched genuine leather handle grips, a sunlight-friendly full-colour LCD screen, polished chrome detailing, carbon fibre styling, and exclusive M-Tech all terrain tyres.
The M-Tech includes automatic downhill control and an electronic parking brake, perfect for golfers who play on undulating courses.
There is also a new simple compact folding system and space-saving inverted wheels to help achieve a significantly reduced folded footprint and has a simple, fully-adjustable handle height. The ‘easilock’ bag-to-trolley connection system removes the need for a lower bag strap.
Then we get to the really cool stuff. The M-Tech also features three distance measurements for your drives, your round, and life distance use.
Other nifty features include a USB charging port, adjustable distance control, a CartLock security pin code, advanced battery meter, a clock and round timer.
And for peace of mind, the Motocaddy M-Tech comes with a three-year trolley warranty, plus a five-year warranty on the battery.

Motocaddy M-Tech trolley review: NCG verdict
It’s clear from the moment the M-Tech leaves the box that it is a premium product and it’s very stylish out on the course.
The folding mechanism is really simple and easy to use – with the pull of a lever the trolley unfolds virtually unassisted making setup very quick. It also has an adjustable handle height so you can get it just how you like it.
The small footprint meant I could easily fit this in my car boot alongside my golf bag. I did notice this trolley is slightly heavier than others I have tested when lifting it in and out of my car.
You can now forget about trying to get your trolley to stay still on slopes, or stop it running away down the car park, the automatic downhill control in this trolley really is a game changer. This trolley grips and stops on all surfaces and terrains I tested it on.
The LCD screen was provided really clear viewing and the graphics and modes on the screen were clearly set out. I found the round timer to be a fun additional feature to track how long your game has taken.
The battery life indicator includes six bars to show you how much battery you have left. When testing I found I was only using one to complete a round of golf showing just how powerful this battery is. It is also really small and compact making transportation easy.
If you want something that stands out on the course, has premium detailing, and performs to a high standard, put the Motocaddy M-Tech on your list of trolleys to try.

The app features a simple six-step guide showing you how to perform CPR. This is easily accessible within the main menu and via a red heart logo on the app’s Play Golf screen.
Should a defibrillator be available at the course, the app will display an AED logo, which features emergency phone numbers to call for help. Instructions on how to access the defibrillator will be shown, as well as using GPS to show the golfers location.
The app can also be paired with any Motocaddy connect trolley model to offer optional smartphone notifications direct to the trolley handle.
