Recently I have been on the lookout for a new powered trolley for my golf clubs.
Over the past couple of decades, I have owned quite a few various powered electric trolleys.
Recently I upgraded my older Powakaddy FW5 for the latest generation Powakaddy FX7.
You would think that after selling more than One Million Electric Trolleys Powakaddy would be making the perfect golf trolley by now, well I must say it is good, but a long way from being perfect.
There are a lot of new features on the Powakaddy FX7 electric trolley which this year are a welcome addition, but the 11kg or 25lb in weight still makes the unit quite difficult to lift and load into the car.
It is also quite bulky even though Powakaddy claim it to be 20% smaller in size. We will check that later when I compare it to my older FW5, but while currently testing the FX7 I have not noticed a size or weight difference when picking it up and moving it around.
On further inspection, it is slightly smaller, but I have to put them together to compare them, but without doing this I would not notice the size difference when just moving them around.
If you are new to electric golf trolleys, it would be worth reading our Step by Step guide to Electric golf Trolleys.
