I took the Caddie Wheel to a new course yesterday to test it out. It worked really well on this first try. Here are a few observations and I’ve attached a video with some demonstrations. The Caddie Wheel works as advertised. It moved my Clicgear cart pretty easily through the fairway and rough. It also handled a gravel parking lot and sandy cart paths well. It felt like using a powered lawn mower in a sense because you walk behind it and hold on to it in some situations like uphill or through bumpy rough. You can send it ahead if you have a clear path and also bring it to you from behind. This helps when you are helping someone find their ball and you left your cart behind. It will go straight if your cart is aligned. My Clicgear front wheel went out of alignment from a few days ago. I set it up to go straight on the road, but on the course it steered slightly left, which was a little annoying. I need to fix that. I ended up keeping the speed at MI (medium) for most of the round. I started on low, but it would slow down on some uphills. Medium seemed to work best because you can throttle the accelerator wheel. I think it is best to move the accelerator wheel ahead gradually when you start otherwise the wheel can spin out. It’s kind of like driving with your car’s accelerator. Stay near the Caddie Wheel going up steeper inclines (as recommended) or it can unweight the front wheel and tip over. Also, when it’s moving slowly on an incline, don’t hit brake or it will tip quickly as I learned. We walked 18 (the first for me in months due to injury) and it used a little less than 1/2 of the battery in a 4.5 hour round. I think the power button in the remote is a little sensitive. When I would put the remote in my back pocket, it would shut off. This is if the button what on my body side. If I put it in facing out, it stayed on. I did hang it off my cart a lot of the time, which was convenient. It has a lanyard. The wheel itself has decent tread, but I wonder if it had more aggressive tread it would be even more effective. It didn’t accumulate grass clipping on this test, but the course was not recently mowed. Here is the video. -
