Hillbilly Axle

Here is an image of the wheel end of the axle where we can see rust but it's also on and in the bearings, This may not be a problem at the moment but if it is left the bearings will disintegrate. This trolley also had an issue in getting the axle out because rust was in the gearbox area and so prevented the axle from coming out easily, This is the point we are trying to say that prevention will save you money and us time later.

Buying an Electric Golf Trolley

Hi All, Here's a little info on buying an electric golf trolley seeing as christmas is coming up some of you may be thinking of getting one or replacing one.

There are so many different types of electric golf trolley available these days that it can be quite difficult to know which one to choose. Like a lot of things, a well known brand is better for after sales service and parts as well as quality. We have had experience with trolleys purchased from the internet which have been bought in to us for repair but we have been unable to get spares because they may not have a branding but also because parts are not shipped in great quantity to this country. Then you may have to consider things like a courier to get the trolley repaired then waiting for it to come back  and the time that goes with waiting in for the re-delivery.

You should consider budget, how often you want to use the trolley, how many holes per day you may use the trolley, do you want distance control, remote control, the design and whether you want any accessories to match. Then you can be a little selective with things like weight of the trolley, dimensions, colour or a matching storage bag.

Trolley Will Not Switch Off

Here is the third article providing some help with a fault you may have.

If you connect the battery to your trolley, get it running then go out on the course only for it to not switch off due normally to a faulty potentiometer then be quick and dis-connect the battery. This will prevent the trolley going off and causing some damage either to someone else or something but also to the trolley itself. ( It has been known for a trolley to go off and in to a lake……).

This fault has come up a couple of times recently and dis-connecting the power is the preventative measure, you can then get the trolley back to the clubhouse and to your service agent.

Dead Trolley

Here's another article for you regarding a trolley that doesn't respond.

You get your trolley out of the car or van and connect all the parts together, connect the battery and switch it on but nothing. Now there can be a few reasons for this, a broken control box, a faulty potentiometer, a faulty battery, faulty battery wires, a blown fuse or a broken wiring loom. Some of these problems can cause a non running trolley at first switch on but they can also appear to be ok at switch on only for the trolley to cut out and not go some time later.

If you have an issue when your trolley doesn’t go then get it looked at and diagnosed properly.

Lithium Batteries

We are being asked more about lithium batteries recently so here’s a few outline points for you.

Lithium batteries are lighter on a like for like basis when compared with lead acid batteries and in some cases quite considerably.

Lithium batteries when compared like for like with lead acid batteries are generally considerably smaller.

They can provide more power to your trolley.

They will normally have a longer warranty or guarantee and in some cases up to 5 years.

Although they may cost more upfront this will balance out over time when compared with the costs of lead acid batteries.

You will need a new different type of charger if you up grade your battery and there are packs where you buy both the battery and charger together for a reduced rate.
