The Golf Monthly test team reviews the Motocaddy M3 PRO Trolley

Motocaddy M3 PRO trolley review
Golf Monthly Verdict

Motocaddy has improved what was an almost flawless design. It might take longer to put up and down than some, but this is well worth it for the size it folds down to. It runs smoothly and is easy to control on all types of ground. The frame is modern and stylish with a standout overall look.

Reasons to buy
  • +

    If you struggle to fit your electric trolley into the boot of your car with your clubs, or have limited space at home, then Motocaddy’s M-Series of trolleys is a great choice, thanks to their compact size when folded. While the M1 is a stripped-back offering, the M3 will catch the eye of gadget fans, thanks to the digital display. The central built-in GPS device holder with a USB charging point is a particularly neat touch. The new EASILOCK bag attachment system is a small but excellent addition.

Reasons to avoid
  • -

    The trolley is compact when folded, but the folding system is more complicated than the QUIKFOLD design on the Motocaddy S-Series models. This folding design doesn’t take long to master, but is more fiddly to erect than the S designs. Some golfers won’t make use of the extras that feature here, and not on the M1 PRO model.

Key Technology: Motocaddy M3 PRO trolley review

The M3 PRO is 40 per cent smaller than its S-Series counterparts when folded, but it still provides a host of features seen on the S3 PRO model. These include a five-minute ‘lost ball’ timer and a full-colour digital screen with multiple distance readings. The trolley also features the EASILOCK system, designed to lock the cart bag on to the trolley, removing the need for a lower strap.
