Push Cart Advice (motorized vs. manual)

Looking to get into walking this fall/winter. I had some thoughts of going straight to a motorized option, but also haven't really walked since I was playing as a young teen. So having second thoughts on jumping into a major purchase and ending up not using it as much as I thought I would.
Is a motorized cart going to make it that much more convenient such that I'll actually enjoy walking the course more compared to a push cart? Was looking at the Alphard Cybercart.

In winter when conditions can get soggy, the motorized cart is really nice.
I’ve been on the fence for a while, but for most of the year, it’s so damn hot. I just pay my cart fee

Following. Anyone have first person experience / recommendation for Alphard vs, Motocaddy vs MGI.
Is the cybercart that much better than the V2Pro bundle option? I don't need the electronics because I think using my phone apps would be better, but do want the remote control.
I played with a guy (on course that makes you pay the riding cart fee) who said he and his regular playing partners all have electric push carts and they all love it. Said they are not tired at all after walking 18.
I walk with a push cart and it can be a workout. Not the same workout as carrying the bag, but it can be a workout and by the last few holes it starts becoming a struggle.

I have the MGI Nav 2. Love it.
I prefer to walk but i have some shoulder issues so backpacking became too painful after 18. Bought a push cart and that hurt my shoulder even more because your arms are outstretched the entire time.
The Mrs. got me the electric one for an anniversary present and even though it seems more like an old man thing, I love it. I ride when it gets real hot or everyone in the group is riding but other than that I'm walking. The rounds are just much more enjoyable.
My only complaint is that the remote is fairly sensitive. Sometimes you tap it to turn left and it will jerk like you held it down or something. It's rolled over on my a couple times but mine has the two front wheels so it handles some bumps pretty good. You have to pay attention to it though so it's not completely stress free. An old dude I play with ran his into the lake

Any experience with the upgrade purchase where it just follows you? For the Cybercart that is..

Not personally but I did see quite a few of them for sale on Facebook marketplace when I when I was researching. The remote works well for me and I don't think I'm missing out with the follow feature.
Also, there's usually a good sale around Black Friday. That's when I bought mine last year.

If you are primarily walking a course with elevation change, particularly in the last 4-5 holes, get a motorized cart and thank me later. #MGIMafia

I always walk. I prefer the push option. Know a few guys that have the remote or gps options and they seem to spend more time messing with them than just pushing the cart. Plus on hot or sunny days like to have my umbrella attachment up to stand under.

Ended up getting the Cybercart. Played 9 holes today. Was nice really easy to use. I've got my habits down on our clubs golf carts, using the club cleaner and just efficiently playing quickly. But will get my process down. Wasn't striking the ball well and ended up shooting my average score instead of falling apart, haha. Do think there's something to walking it off. Played with another guy in a cart and really didn't seem to be problematic. Also made a busy course not seem like such a pain with hurrying up and waiting.

Did you get the remote or follow me option?
Posted on 10/23/26 at 9:05 pm to fwtex
Just have the remote for now. Not sure I'd like the follow me, but time will tell. Too many places I have to send it around other tee boxes, obstacles, ditches, etc. when it's an easy straight line for me to walk. Feel like I'd constantly be going back and forth between controlling it and switching to follow mode. Wasn't really hard to just control it.

Yep, I bought one this spring for my 4 year old Clic Gear. I still get the benefit of walking but don’t have as many random aches and pains. Plus if I walk in the morning I don’t feel as wiped out for rest of the day. 54 here.

Are they retarded? It takes one round at the most to get the hang of it.

You don't think the 2K electric cart doesn't have a $10 umbrella attachment?
You seem to constantly be baffled by the simplest things that people do stuff different than you. "Why do construction worker not drive across town to HEB and get a shake like me instead of going to a convenient store and getting a hot dog?"
