I am happy with my plain, black, manually operated S1 but for some reason here in USA nobody seems to want an electric trolley if it isn't remote controlled. I've never seen Motocaddy's remote version in person so I can't comment. Most of the remote electrics I've seen over the years look to me like over complicated kludges but there seem to be slightly more modern designs nowadays. Anything with two drive motors plus a steering motor plus radio control bits is going to HAVE to be less reliable than a basic Motocaddy, it would seem to me.
The current pricing on Motocaddy S1 Digital with Lithium battery (and you absolutely, positively do want to get Lithium, not lead acid/SLA) seems to be $795 shipped and that price is the same from any authorized distributor. The trolley weighs 20 pounds plus 5-1/2 pounds more for the Lithium battery. Trolley plus battery together weigh exactly 2x as much as my SM SpeedCart and the S1 folds to roughly the same size.
For about a hundred bucks more Motocaddy makes the similar-featured M1 that folds up smaller like a ClicGear push cart would.

I should just bit the bullet and get the one I want. This sport costs enough already so what is a few hundred more.

For me, I don't need the oddity of electric as hardly anybody here in the desert SW uses one. I play quite flat courses, plus I am a fitness geek with running/mtn. bike - was never needed!
OP in California - if you have local ties/connections here around PHX, my unit I would sell you for $100 cash with the battery/charger. It still is very good, but a new battery (yes, it is SLA Heavy) would up its top speed. It is a non-remote version, so just one motor, can't escape your remote's range of control, either.

B4 this CG, was going to get another electric. I researched all the models wanting to stay below $1K. That GoKart via UK did sound pretty cool. Others could be made in China - OK for golf clubs, but moving electric parts - think about all the cheaper mass-produced hover boards of recent times.

Clubrunner is a USA company and they have a model called "Motorcaddie". They have been making electric trolleys since about 2002.
Motocaddy is a UK company and they call their models "Motocaddy". They have been in business since 2005 and have had a USA distributor since 2013.
Both of these have a solid warranty and aftermarket infrastructure in this country and both brands are available through Motogolf.com (which also carries many other brands).
The advantage of Motocaddy is a little more modern design and Lithium battery option. The advantage of Clubrunner is USA ownership plus they've been established a slightly longer time with a good track record. Pricing is similar either way.

I just happen to know of more success stories with Motocaddy specifically than other brands. So I feel real sure my odds are good with that brand and have only limited 2nd-hand information on most other brands. We tend to hear about the bad luck stories more than the no-problem ones!
