Questions & Answers

Is this device's connection truly a problem? I'd like to use the follow feature, but my home course is hilly and has a lot of trees. Will this be a problem?

There is a minor problem with the connection. The support wheel has been an issue for me, even though I enjoy the follow mode. The unit may spin out if it hits a dip or a rise. As a result, you may not notice the loss of connection until you continue walking. The only other issues I've had are: 1) it will occasionally spin out on the side of a tee box; and 2) on some of the hillier courses, it has trouble spinning its wheels in place on wet grass.

Is it possible to purchase a spare battery for my FTR robotic golf caddy?

You can buy an extra battery from MaxStrata LLC if you need one. CaddyTrek is represented by MaxStrata LLC, a CaddyTrek authorized dealer. br>br>Best regards,br>br>MaxStrata LLC,br>br>Ted Michaelsbr>

Is this cart equipped with a seat?

This cart is built to walk alongside you or ahead of you. You can also use it as a remote-control device. This is ideal for those who prefer to walk rather than drive. Riding in a cart is a fun way to spend some time.

Some of the courses I play have steep curving cartpaths where I'd like to keep a hand on the cart for safety and possibly get some help. Is this something you can do?

Hello, Production Plan Services,br>The CaddyTrek is designed to go up a 30 degree incline; you do not want to go on side hills, but the cart will perform admirably up and down hills. There are also four different modes on the CaddyTrek (push, remote, follow, and marching). br>If you require any further information or assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. br>Regards,br>Ted Michaelsbr>MaxStrata LLCbr>(818) 297-4444br>MaxStrata LLCbr>(818) 297-4444br>MaxStrata LLCbr>MaxStrata LLCbr>MaxStrata LLCbr>MaxStrata 9462

It didn't work out
3/5

The follow me mode worked for nine holes before coming to a halt. When I asked for assistance, they were helpful at first, but then proceeded to try to explain how I needed to reprogram using my computer. I'm sure a techie would have had no trouble with it, but it sounded perplexing to me. I didn't think I should have to go through the hassle of purchasing something brand new for such a large sum of money. So I spent time looking for it, using it twice, and repacking it, and the refund was around $400 in the end. 00 less than I paid because it was scratched from being used twice, so I assume it was a rental fee. Perhaps I should be grateful that they returned anything to me.

So far, everything has gone well
4/5

I've only played a few rounds with this buggy, but I'm really enjoying it so far. I was on my way to getting a kangaroo hillcrest when I came across the carrytrek buggy. The kangaroo is used by the majority of walkers at my club, and some of them have been in use for over 15 years. I decided to go with the Caddytrek because I didn't want to be constantly fiddling with the remote, and the kangaroo's weight meant I'd be leaving it at the club and wouldn't be able to use it at my other clubs when I traveled. br>br>So far, my decision to go with the Caddytrek has proven to be a good one. br>br>Prosbr>br>1. This feature allows you to follow other people. I like how you don't have to think about your clubs when you stop to take a shot, approach a green, or bunker; just press a button and you're ready to go. Buggy will swerve to the left to keep up with you, and 2- 3 steps behind schedule. It is simple to navigate the bridges and paths. Basically, you can go anywhere with an electric cart and not have to worry about the buggy. All you have to do is walk on the right side of the path or bridge, and you'll be fine. 2. br>br>1. br>br>br>br>br>br Dimensions and weight I can fit it in the trunk of my car because it folds up small and is light. With the kangaroo, there was no way I could have done it. Tip. If you forget to remove the battery before folding, you'll have to unfold to connect to the charger. 3. br>br>4. br>br>5. br>br>6. Battery life and capacity. It will easily last 18 holes. Climbs steep hills with ease and brakes smoothly when descending steep hills. 4. br>br> If cost is a consideration, the Caddytrek is $1000 less expensive than the Kangaroo. Consbr>br>1. br>br>Consbr>br>1. br>br>Consbr>br>Consbr>br> When it's wet, I've had it slip while climbing a steep hill. This problem appeared to be resolved by walking up the hill a little slower.
2. The use of the fifth wheel is crucial. Don't forget to extend it, or the buggy will tip over.
3. On the first use, the screw that held the two-part 5th wheel assembly together failed. I'm glad I didn't lose the spring that comes with it. Before you start your first round, replace this with a longer screw. Since the replacement, there have been no issues.
4. With the follow feature, you don't save many steps. When teeing off or putting, it's best to think of it as a push cart walk to the best place to leave it.
5. It takes too long to control as a remote cart rather than following, which is not the buggy's fault. But. When you're used to the follow feature, it's a pain. br>br>1 follow is a fantastic feature. Follows me across the bridge without hesitation as long as it is wide enough for a riding cart to pass through, slightly to the left of where you are walking and about 3 paces behind you.

HEAVY AND FOLLOW ME isn't great, so it's not worth the money
3/5

There is a 20% restocking fee if you want to return it. It's a bit heavy, and keeping up with me isn't easy. br>br>I don't believe this is one that should be taken into consideration - The concept was appealing, but it's quite heavy, and I was told by the company/manufacturer that it must be placed on a solid, stable surface. The purpose of most golf courses is defeated by the presence of hills, bumps, and grassy terrain. To return it, follow these steps: br>br> You must pay the restocking fee of 20% % That's $300, so if I can help anyone out, I'd appreciate it. I'd try out these models (from other brands) at a golf pro shop to see if they're worth the money.

It does exactly what it says
5/5

My 'cart' bag was too small for the bungy straps but the bag held on, my bag kept rotating, great to walk without pushing a trolly, I didn't like the 'follow' or'march' features, others liked them, there is a learning curve, I was thinking about the trolly the first 18 holes, I recommend taking it out for 9 in the late afternoon to first get familiar with it, (I did have an eagle while on my first outing though.

It's fantastic! There is a learning curve, but once I figured out how to use the remote, it does exactly what I want it to
5/5

It's counterintuitive to walk with it in front of you. When using the ultrasound mode to steer, you must angle to the right to get it to turn left. To use the follow mode, the remote must be attached to your backside belt. The secondary transmitter, which plugs into the remote and wraps around to the back and fixes the problem, is sold out. br>Climbs and descends steep hills with ease, locking when stopped to prevent it from running down the hill in stop mode. I'm very pleased with my purchase and have told several friends about it.

This is a good product that works well in general
4/5

br>br>It takes about a second or two for the follow and marching modes to activate. As a result, things move a little more slowly. Some people also complain that the marching mode is difficult to use because you must move to the left for the unit to turn right, for example. That doesn't bother me in the least. The unit struggles in extremely hilly terrain. So I use the remote control to steer the unit up a steep incline, then switch back to follow mode. There is enough power in the battery to get you through your round. Overall, this product performs admirably, despite a few minor flaws.

Caddytrek has a number of major issues that need to be resolved
3/5

The unit does not respond to the remote and operates very erratically to the point where it must be used as a heavy pull cart, and the follow function does not work at all, which is a big disappointment considering I paid nearly $1,800 for it. I bought it for my wife, who is a member of a golf league, but due to the unit's instability, I no longer trust it. Golf is a sport in which a player's concentration must be maintained at all times, and this unit is unaffected by distractions. I've asked for a refund and am waiting to hear back. They shouldn't add insult to injury, right?.
