The Motocaddy S1 DHC trolley review took place at Moor Allerton in Leeds – the perfect testing ground for a trolley that’s designed to perform at its best on undulating courses.
Motocaddy S1 DHC trolley review – First impressions
To the untrained eye this looks like a regular Motocaddy S1. And that’s a good thing as the S1 is arguably the brand’s most successful model.
The S1 DHC features the same upgrades which the S1 received for 2016 which we’ve detailed below.
When you take it out of the box, assembly time is literally seconds. The frame comes together with ease and the wheels pop on very easily.
Once assembled, it’s a simple and stylish looking trolley that feels incredibly well-made.
Motocaddy S1 DHC trolley review – The Tech
We’ll get to the DHC bit in a second but to summarise, the S1 DHC incorporates a number of new improvements, including a soft-touch ergonomic handle, low-profile, quick release wheels, a streamlined battery tray and the super-fast Quikfold mechanism.
Added to these are nine speed settings, a battery indicator, whisper-quiet motor, adjustable bag supports and compatibility with the Easilock bag-to-trolley connection system.
The cool thing about the DHC compared to the regular S1 is its ability to automatically put the brakes on when you start going downhill.
Added to that there’s also an electronic parking brake.
For me, they are possibly the two most annoying things about an electric trolley – running away from you when going downhill and not staying put when on a hanging lie.
The motor automatically adjusts its power output to control the rate of descent without the golfer having to make any adjustment to the pre-hill speed setting.
