Our Powakaddy C2i review took place on the course at Moor Allerton and Rudding Park.

Powakaddy C2i review: First impressions

The C2i follows on from the hugely successful C2 which was launched last year.

Powakaddy Compact C2i

 

It was one of the best trolleys we have ever tested and has been the best-selling electric trolley over the past year.

So what has changed with the C2i?

Being honest, not huge amount but there is a new larger screen which adds to the premium feel and better display’s some of the trolleys functions and features.

This is the only compact trolley in Powakaddy’s line-up which also includes the four Freeway trolleys – FW3s, Fw5s, Fw7s, FW7s GPS.

A good way to think about the C2i is as a smaller version of their FW5s.

Powakaddy C2i review: The technology

The new 2.8in full colour widescreen display has a battery life indicator which is very handy as it reminds you to stick it on charge after playing.

Powakaddy C2i review

I’m often just nipping out for a few holes here and there so wouldn’t automatically stick it on charge after every use.

The folding mechanism has two stages – folding the front wheel underneath, then folding down the main frame.

It takes around eight seconds.

Other features of the C2i include automatic distance control, a USB charging point and a powerful 230w motor.

Many trolleys only have a 200w motor so the C2i does seem to have a bit more pace than some.

When folded down I do think this is the smallest compact trolley on the market.

The really sleek Plug n’ Play battery can be left in place when folded down but you must remember to switch it off first.

So that’s the lowdown on the Powakaddy C2i – but how did it perform? Find out on the next page…

Powakaddy C2i review: The results

The folding mechanisms do work very well and are very easy to get the hang of.

Powakaddy C2i review

It’s the sort of thing that just gets quicker and smoother each time you do it.

Out on the course the C2i feels very sturdy – just as sturdy as one of the larger Freeway trolleys.

Powakaddy C2i review

The display is very smart indeed with some neat features and it adds to the overall premium feel of the product.

The best thing about the C2i is undoubtedly it’s small folded size.

Powakaddy C2i review

It can go in the car boot both stood up, laid down and it can easily be place on the backseat or in any of the passenger foot-wells.

There’s a carry handle too which makes transportation very easy.

Powakaddy C2i review: NCG verdict

This is a great trolley but I’m really struggling to see how it has changed or improved from the original C2.

And that’s fine because the C2 was such a great piece of kit.

But if you’re a C2 owner don’t be thinking there’s a new trolley out there which is better.

Powakaddy Compact C2i

There have been a couple of tweaks with the C2i but it’s essentially the same product with a slightly different name.

If you missed out on the C2 first time around and are a bit short on space then you definitely need to check the C2i out.

This product serves its main purpose extremely well and that is to fold away small to make transportation and storage easier.

And when it’s out on the course, it’s just as good as any other trolley out there in my opinion.

Powakaddy C2i details

SRP: £549.99
