Update to my ewheels issue. I talked to the distributor and they were very helpful, they agreed that I shouldn't be having grief with the unit.  They are sending me a replacement. 

Well the replacement unit has been flawless so far. I play 3-4 times a week and it hasn't missed a beat other than replacing the remote batteries a couple of times, which last longer than they say they do anyway. I just carry 3 spare triple A's along with my spare rangefinder battery. I just wish it would pull me up the hills sometimes, lol. I did forget to charge it one time and was thinking I would end up pushing it.  It pushes pretty easy when it's off so I turned it off and pushed it for the first 4 or 5 holes, which are pretty flat anyway and then turned it on and finished the round with no issues. They say it will do 27 holes but I guess that would depend on the course length and terrain, I played in a couple scrambles this year where I started at the furthest point of the course, which effectively meant I walked the course twice and the unit never ran out of power.

I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on the QOD electric caddy. How do you owners like it a year later?

In a simple word, yes.  Not a single problem.

Hey guys, what bag do you use with your QOD caddy? Is any particular cart bag better than another?

I use my 2015 Ping Hoofer.  It sometimes wants to twist a little, but its not really a problem.

I've used at least four or five bags. They're all fine. Some want to twist a little, yeah, but you can rig something up pretty easily if that's annoying to you.

I have never heard about this issues with an electric caddy, so to say I have one and I hadn't met even a single issue

I used my QOD twice before yesterday for a few trial runs on several holes each time. Yesterday I walked the full 18 with it and man alive was it awesome. My course has two long uphill holes on the back 9 that usually destroy me as well as a gradual but constant rise in elevation on 9 and 18. I walked with the cart downhill without power most of the time and only used the powered wheels going up hill or letting it go ahead by 30 seconds on longer flat runs. This is game changing for me as this is the first time I've walked a round in basically 3 months and only second time really playing. I'm a bit tired in my legs but that good tired feeling and not worn out. I'm hoping I can get into better shape and use my Clicgear Model 8 again for a bit better a workout but this was awesome for me as I shouldn't have to cart again other than hosting guests.
