For three years now, Jake Morrow from GOLF.com has been using a Motocaddy Electric Caddy, and each year the company finds a way to make its product even better. In this review, he delves into the 2026 M7 Remote model, which, according to him, opened up a new world of golf, allowing him to enjoy the game without joint pain.

History with Motocaddy

It all started with the 2024 M7 Remote GPS model. Jake Morrow, suffering from sports injuries that made walking 18 holes with a bag or even a push cart significantly more difficult, found that Motocaddy relieved the stress on his joints. This allowed him to enjoy playing with friends who also love walking the course. Last year, he upgraded to the 2025 M7 Remote model, and for the past two months, he has been testing the latest version – the 2026 M7 Remote.

What is the Motocaddy M7 Remote?

The Motocaddy M7 Remote (2026) is a three-wheeled electric caddy that can be controlled with a remote. Motocaddy's lineup also includes the more affordable M5 model without a remote and the more expensive M7 Remote GPS with an integrated GPS navigator. The GPS screen allows you to track distances to hazards and to the front, middle, and back of greens. Additionally, Motocaddy electric caddies are compatible with the brand's special bags featuring the unique EASILOCK™ system. This system eliminates the need for a lower bag strap, making the process of attaching and detaching bags faster and more secure. The author notes that he particularly likes the EliteFlex Hybrid Golf Bag.

Key Improvements and Features of the 2026 Model

The Motocaddy M7 Remote has received numerous awards, including the 'Most Wanted' award from My Golf Spy. Its compact folding, rechargeable remote, removable anti-tip wheel, and automatic Downhill Control (DHC) technology make operating the electric caddy as comfortable and responsive as possible.

Responsive Control

After extensive development and testing, the M7 REMOTE's drive system offers unparalleled reliability, optimized battery efficiency, and intuitive control. The remote control conveniently clips to the caddy frame for easy access and storage. The latest version of the remote features ergonomic controls, enhancing usability and precision in maneuvering.

Compact Folding and Thoughtful Design

The remote-controlled model integrates all the advanced M-Series features, including the world's simplest folding mechanism, an innovative design convenient for car trunk transport, a powerful 28.8V system, easily adjustable handle height, and oversized frame tubes for maximum stability. It also includes a removable rear anti-tip wheel and automatic downhill control for easily navigating slopes.

Downhill Control (DHC) Technology

DHC technology, developed over a decade ago, has undergone extensive refinement. Today, it is considered an essential feature for thousands of golfers worldwide. DHC ensures the electric caddy maintains a constant speed when moving downhill, helping golfers maintain full control even on the most undulating courses. This award-winning feature is now complemented by all-terrain wheels suitable for any ground conditions.

Performance and Control

Thanks to the 28V battery (which can be charged without removing it from the trolley), the Motocaddy M7 Remote is highly responsive to remote commands. The author recalls how, with the 2024 model, he was able to guide the electric caddy from the tee box of a 380-yard par 4 all the way to the green without losing control. In case of lost remote connection or losing sight of the trolley, a safety system activates, stopping the caddy. The 2026 version is no exception. The author notes that it has become a running joke among his playing partners, who nervously await the moment he loses control of the trolley. The battery also offers long life: the author managed to play 54 holes in a single day, though he recommends aiming for 36 holes for peace of mind.

The remote control is very responsive. It's easy to use the left-right directional buttons, up-down buttons for speed adjustment, and the central pause button. It takes a few holes to get used to the responsiveness – the learning curve is very quick. You can also adjust the trolley's 'trim' to ensure it moves in a straight line. The author usually does this on the first hole, as changes in bag weight or contents can affect the trajectory.

Importance of the Anti-Tip Wheel

The author strongly advises against using the Motocaddy without the anti-tip wheel installed, hinting at his own negative experience. Installing this wheel not only ensures safety but also gives the trolley a fun, R2-D2-like appearance.

Power Button and USB-C

The remote has a power button that prevents accidental activation. The author typically parks the trolley near the green when he takes out his putter and presses the power button to avoid unintended actions during his stroke or while watching other players.

One of the most significant improvements in this year's M7 Remote is the switch to a USB-C charging cable for the remote itself. No more worrying about old USB-A cables. The author expresses immense gratitude for this update.

Manual Mode and Additional Features

If there are issues with the remote, you forget it at home, or accidentally wash it (don't ask), the trolley can still be used. In that case, it transforms into a self-propelled push cart. As long as you are behind it and can reach the large 'stop/start' button on the handle, there will be no problems. This button also acts as a speed controller, with readings displayed on the large screen. The 2026 model also tracks distance traveled per round and per shot, as well as game time.

What's Included and Accessories

The electric caddy comes with a scorecard holder, umbrella holder, bottle holder, and an anti-tip wheel. Installing the latter is crucial to prevent damage. Motocaddy also offers a wide range of accessories to create the perfect system: heated handle gloves, an accessory pouch for more gear, a seat for breaks, a rangefinder pouch, and much more.

Transport and Storage

After play, the M7 Remote folds down very compactly. When folded, it automatically shuts off, and the battery disconnects. Folding requires just two levers. The trolley easily fits into the trunk of any car.

Conclusion

The Motocaddy M7 Remote is an invaluable aid for golfers who find it difficult to walk 18 holes. The author cannot finish a round without the electric caddy's help due to knee problems. Since caddies are not available in many places, Motocaddy allows him to enjoy walking the course. He even brings his old Motocaddy for friends, who also highly appreciate the relief it provides.

The author also invites readers to watch his review of the older 2024 Motocaddy model on YouTube.
