What is golf scooter & How much it cost?

Sport in Corona times: Is golf safe in Covid?

Sweating in the gym with a number of other athletes? Jogging through the streets of the crowded city? Sorry but NO. Not since the Covid-19 pandemic.

If you want to avoid crowds in the gym and are looking for an alternative sports or fitness activities to staying active during pandemic lockdown, an occasional round of golf is therefore well advised. Especially since golfing not only strengthens the core muscles, but also protects the joints. It is no wonder why golf is the best exercises for every age and gender.

Why now is the perfect time to start golfing?

In times of the Covid 19 pandemic, golf sports has a number of unique advantages: lots of fresh air, a low risk of infection and a positive effect on physical and mental health. When fitness studios, swimming pools had to be closed due to corona, it less likely happens on golf court.

Golf health benefits:

Stay fit

Improve muscle tone and endurance 

Firming up your core with gentle swing exercises

Improve posture

Increases stress resistance

Whole family activity

Walk, ride or ... scoot? New normal golf industry

Anyone who plays an 18-hole round needs an average of around 5 hours, completes around 150 turns and covers around 10 kilometers. So, what to do with the golf clubs?

Golf course social distancing guidance (“One Golfer Per Cart”) encourages players to walk rather than ride, as golfers should not share the same cart unless they're family members. Whether you walk cross the green with your golf bag or share a ride, “Fun” isn’t the word associated with any of above options. Golf clubs are viewing single person golf carts as the alternative rather than just a cool amenity to help golfers play safely.

A golf cart ride alone in style - Golf scooter

Golf Scooter: A moped scooter or a bike with fat tires, single seated golf bag carrier, a fun alternative to typical golf cart. Aiming at speeding up the pace to encourage ready golf, making it more fun, attracting youth golfers and creating more revenue for golf clubs as well.

"We had never seen customers smile so much." Said one of golf club owners in west Australia. "By far, it's the most fun you can have ever had on a golf course."

What to consider when buying a golf scooter?

1. Design & Tire Size

We advise wide wheel with air tire, as smaller wheels give a tougher ride while the ground get wet & rough. If you’d prefer quality riding, you will need fat treaded tyres and nice quality suspension.

2. Motor & Power

Higher wattage of motor = more torque output. Speed is the result of correctly gearing the motor, it helps to speed up more quickly and climb easier. Golf electric scooter motor power generally starts from 1000 to 3000 watts.

3. Battery & Range

Batteries are always of much concern on electric cart, you need electric power be quieter, more affordable, and less maintenance, but would be very annoying if your golf scooter cart only made about 5 or 6 miles before it melted to one bar and eventually die, below range for your reference:

12AH = 12 – 18 Miles

25AH = 30 – 35 Miles

2*20AH = 30 – 50 Miles

Remind: Uphills & tough terrain drains the battery 50%-60% quicker than common condition.

4. Speed

This isn’t a critical aspect to buy an electric golf scooter cart, if you want to ride on different occasions other than golf cart utility, then you’ll need vary speed mode for your golf scooter.

5. Attachments & Assembly

Purchasing an electric golf cart that can be personalized to your own preferences is also a great option. You should always have certain add on and extras on the cart, it's a stretch, but that doesn't make these accessories any less important!
