I've owned my ZIp Navigator for over 3 years and I have over 2000 miles on my odometer. It paid for itself during the second year. It DOES have a USB port under the handle. The AT does have wider front wheels for added stability but it doesn't have a USB port or the front wheel gyro. The gyro keeps the cart on track even after hitting any bump or hidden sprinkler hear. After folding the cart, it occupies less space than my folded Sun Mountain Speed Cart. The best part is all I do now is walk, no pushing, no pulling. I don't think the STOP button being at the bottom of the remote is an issue. Since I don't have multiple remotes it doesn't matter where it is. And finally, what I've learned with a battery cart, keep your eyes on it. If you get distracted it's going to keep going where it's pointed. Just stop it before you start looking for a ball, start a conversation, etc.

Both great buggies in my opinion, I ended up getting the MGI Zip Navigator AT, only problem is the MGI accessories are terrible. I ended up finding an All In 1 accessory made by Stadium Golf, that really is a massive help when playing, it carries absolutely everything you need and has a small footprint. I'm pretty sure they make them for the Motocaddy buggies too.

Pro Tip: You don't want the MGI Zip Navigator if you play on courses with lots of hills, mounds and elevation changes. You want the MGI Zip Navigator AT (All Terrain) model. Why, you may ask? The AT fixed the problem that both the regular Zip and other competitors (such as Motocaddy) have. The AT spreads out the front wheel base out wider, which makes it much less susceptible to tip over and makes it a much better balanced unit than any models with the wheel bases like the two you see in this video. If you play relatively flat courses, then the M7 and regular Zip are fine.

I have the MGI Zip Navigator AT version with front wheels farther apart for stability. I play on hilly courses and it works great. It may need a little hands on to stabilize it better on really steep hills. I 100% recommend this product. Best investment I've ever made for my golf game. And this things is a tank! It's been through a lot in well over two years and it's still going strong...cart and batteries. The only negative is the accessories. They are pricey for being poorly made plastic junk. Every single accessory has broken and I'm about to go on my third drink holder under normal use. I am careful with stuff so it's a bit frustrating.

Thank you for the review. I have had a Motocaddy M7 for a little over a year and am thinking about switching to an MGI. The main issues I've had with the Motocaddy are: 1) The arm lock mechanism on the side is very stiff and it's taken over a year for it to loosen up slightly. 2) The cart veers hard left and right without the gyroscope technology. I'm constantly having to adjust direction. 3) I've had a really difficult time adjusting to the sensitivity of the remote. If I press a turn button lightly, it only turns a little bit, if I add a little more pressure, it turns 90 degrees. This may just be me. I haven't tried remotes on other trolleys to compare. Otherwise, the Motocaddy is a well built, very sturdy piece of equipment. The battery is very easy to install and remove and it takes a couple hours to recharge after 18 holes on a moderately hilly course. MGI's are much more popular where I play, in part due to their availability at Costco.

I think you made a mistake with the uphill test. The M7 went straight up the hill while the MGI was aimed up at an slight angle and as the MGI has the gyroscope it tried to stay on that path, that’s why it had to steer sometime. You should have tried the M7 at the same angle and it probably would have steered to the left considerably.

BTW, the Zip Navigator has a USB charging port underneath the handle also. The weakness with the Zip is the battery placement being behind the reader axle. That makes it tippier and you have to be careful not to dump it. This is why the new MGI moved the battery forward. The gyro that keeps it going straight is a big plus. If you ever drive on in a pond or creek, then it’s done no matter what make or model.

Been looking at the M7 option bc I’ve had an M3 Pro for 5 seasons and am really impressed with the build quality. Only thing I don’t like is the accessories are junk, on the M3 I’ve taken the clips off my old clicgear to use their accessories. BUT I can’t say enough about the easy lock pins, it works amazing with the standbag. Thanks for a great review.

It's nice to do the comparisons,I have the new mgi with wider from swivel wheels plus recharge function under handle...it's brilliant and very easy to navigate It makes a big difference with energy levels after a round...thanks for the review.... cheers...

I have had a Motocaddy S7 remote for several years, and whilst it supposedly has a corrective feature to maintain a straight line on a side hill, it doesn't work well, and the gyroscope feature sounds really fantastic. I have had 2 S7's and always said I would get another if it was stolen! But this gyroscope trick could be a game changer.

I put a 5 lbs dumbell weight in the front pocket of my bag and it eliminated the wheels coming up off the ground while going uphill. I have the MGI Zip Navigator AT.

due to the battery placement moto would benefit from tipping over but I'm still pleased with MGI zip nav. Gyro was my main reason why I went with Nav. really helps out a lot. although reluctant to install the seat.. might be the laughing stock at my club lol

Great video Only question what has better battery life... Easier to charge and big question is how much to replace each battery down the road.. Thanks 🍻

Even on a phone scree I can see you sent the moto caddy up a smooth incline and the zip up one win a bump in it. 😂

I've had the Caddytrek for 6 yrs now and it's been outstanding. I've seen a couple of my friends go through 2-3 different types or remotes and still not be as satisfied as me with the Caddytrek.

He is 100 percent right about the mgi remote. I had the zip and the stop button away from the arrows made using the cart annoying. The 2023 zip has a redesigned remote.

If you use them day in and day out, the gyro is the biggest difference. You don't have to constantly adjust your direction. I like where the battery is because I can take it off and on without removing the bag.

Thank you! This helps me decide which one to purchase for my hubby!

up hill test should have run them on the same track

I know guys who have both these units as wells as the Stewart. I like how upright the bag sits on the MGI.

Is there a way to make the speed control dial more flexible? For me, 4 is too slow, and 5 is too fast. Especially noticeable when in manual mode and you have your hands on the handle and trying to use the umbrella.

BTW the Zip Navigator has a USB port like the Motocaddy M7.

Just bought the Navigator AT at Costco on their Christmas sale. Comes with full accessories including a seat. $300 off the regular price. I think also the resistance to turning in manual mode is probably the gyroscope working to maintain it straight, still, good observation. Nice review.

Pretty sure I’m going to lose some money this weekend. Awesome video man.

Great review, Thanks!

Have you considered reviewing the Alphard Golf V2 e wheels? This is a great option for players who already have a push cart. I have this and absolutely love it. The main reason I would never switch is because I love the top lock technology on the bag boy carts that hold the bag in perfectly. Since I can just add the electric motor wheels to my BagBoy cart, this is the perfect electric cart.

I wish you would have reviewed all accessories that can be purchased with each. I would definitely want a seat.

Thanks for the video!!!!!

Great review! Love my Motocaddy.

Please do a review of the new Bagboy Volt electric push cart.

Can add a seat on both?

Great review, now I want one.

? up hills, side hills, how easly tipped over, battery life?

How would you compare these with the Aiphgard v2

Question for you. If price was not a issue. Which Electric Golf Trolley would you recommend (MGI Zip Navigator , Motocaddy M7, or Stewart Q follow).?

Good grief! You don’t look like you’re 70 yet!! I have the Moto Caddy and love it. It takes a while to get used to it though. Very quick and can get away from you.

You did a review of the stewart q follow. Compared to one of these two would you say the follow is quite significantly better taking into account the increased cost ? Am considering the q follow for my next cart.

The MGI Zip Navigator does have a USB charging port and I believe the main battery can be charged while mounted to the frame

both have USB port ;) and if the uphill was don i same track it would give same result :)

Would you take these over a Q follow? (regardless of price)

Was waiting for this

I’m looking at getting an electric cart but I want to know which one is best for a bloke who is 6’4? Do you know the ground to handle heights?

​ @New Nine Golf I have a Ghost stand bag. I see you have a Vessel. Does one of these carts fit better, or do they both work?

Dear new nine golf. You guys lucky: in North America, europe, etc. I mean i am in malaysia, just next door to the manufacturer in australia, and mgi remotes are not available here.

No.6: What is the cost to replace the battery for each unit?

I like the motocaddy better but I am worried I am going to regret not having the gyroscope? Can you talk about how much pain is it not having gyroscope with M7?

Didn’t go uphill at same speed not a fair comparison in my opinion of the hill test. Should be same speed during test

When you did the up hill climb was the speed the same. Looked like the motto caddy was faster then the mgi.

what is the weight difference?

Have you seen their new mgi zip navigator ai? It has gps, remote, and follow function! It looks pretty epic

How would compare the Motocaddy M7 remote to the Axglo golf E5 Electric Caddy?

I wonder if you swapped bags on the uphill challenge if the Zip might not have tipped back? It's possible your bag had more stuff in in it at the bottom of the bag to add a bit of weight. I also suspect that whichever brand one chooses, and gets used to, that is which one works best for that customer. You'll get used to the remote and its functions. Along with the utilization of the trolley. I'm considering my first battery operated trolley. So, your video helped. I think I would prefer one with the gyroscope to keep it straight. Also, you did not review how easy it is to go to manual mode in case the battery runs out or fails. Or if you hitch a ride back to the clubhouse because of rain or whatever. From reading other articles, you do not want to ruin the electronics and need to put the cart into manual mode. As I live in Oregon, where it can rain..lol, i'd like more information on how to maintain a trolley if it gets wet and what is the failure rate of the battery or electronics. I suspect it's very low, and one may never get the truth from the manufacturer, but it's my money and I don't want warranty hassles. 😊

What is the REAL advantage of these electric carts over a manual push/pull carts?

Are you shooting it at the Country Hills Golf Club in Calgary NW?

Do you need a different bag or can you use your existing bag

No test on the GPS screen?

Great video, loved the intro also! Will you be trying the Powakaddy RX1 Remote/GPS in the near future? I am really wanting a electrical push cart because my back is bad, is having a remote essential in your opinion, or would you do well without one and just get a S1/FX3 etc? The remote versions are almost twice the price here in Norway Thanks 🙂

What about battery warranty’s

Do they both have a "follow me" function?

Q-Follow beats both these

Made the mistake of getting the callaway traverse. Wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy worst designed product maybe ever

SIgh, why can't these testers use the same test conditions? Use the same damn bag on the same damn course. It takes a bit more effort, but c'mon.

For this price it needs to have a seat and the ability for me to ride it all the way round. What an absolute rip off
