I’ve had a Motocaddy Electric Caddy for three years now, dating back to the 2024 model of the M7 Remote GPS. For me, the Motocaddy unlocked a whole new world. I have some sports injuries from the past that are quite troublesome when walking 18 holes while carrying a bag or even pushing a cart, but the Motocaddy freed up the stress on my joints to enjoy my rounds with friends who also enjoy the walk. Last year I upgraded to the 2025 model of the M7 Remote, and for the past two months I have been using the 2026 model of the M7 Remote.
So how does Motocaddy continue to make the product better every year? Let’s dive in.
The Motocaddy M7 Remote (2026) is a three-wheeled electric caddy that you can steer around the golf course with a remote. They also have a cheaper M5 model without the remote as well as a more expensive M7 Remote GPS which unlocks the ability for the on-board screen to act as a course GPS; you can plot out distance to hazards and yardages to the front, middle and back of greens. You can also pair their caddies with one of their golf bags, which feature their unique locking system. That saves you from having to strap in the bottom of the bag and makes getting the clubs on the trolley faster and more secure. I like the EliteFlex Hybrid Golf Bag.

Thanks to the 28V battery (which can remain on the trolley while charging at home) the Motocaddy M7 Remote is very responsive to the remote control. In an older YouTube video about the 2024 model I steered my 2024 M7 from the tee box of a 380-yard Par 4 all the way to the green without losing control of the device. If you do happen to lose sight of the trolley or control of it from the remote, it has a fail-safe to stop the caddy once the connection is lost. The 2026 version has been no different. It’s actually become a running joke when playing with new people that they think I’m going to lose control of the trolley. The battery also has a long life. I’ve played 54 holes in a single day with mine, although I’d safely say that 36 holes would be a better limit to set for yourself, just in case.
The remote is very responsive. It’s easy to use with left and right directional controls, up and down for speed control, and a central pause button to stop the caddy’s movement. It does take a few holes to get used to the responsiveness of the remote to the unit, but it’s a quick learning curve. You can also adjust the trim of the caddy to make sure that it stays in a straight line as it’s moving. This is something I’ll usually do on the first hole. Changing up your bag setup or the things you carry in your bag can shift the weight placement and affect the trim.
There’s also a remote power button to make sure you’re not inputting any unnecessary commands when you don’t want to. Typically I’ll park the caddy off the green once I’ve got my putter in hand and then press the power button on the remote to make sure nothing happens while I am going through my putting routine or watching members of the group finish out.
One huge upgrade for the M7 Remote this year is that they have finally switched the charging cable for the remote itself over to USB-C. No more having to keep track of the outdated USB-A cable. Thank the heavens.
If for any reason you have issues with the remote, you forget the remote at home, or you end up putting the remote in the washing machine (don’t ask) you can still use the caddy. At that point it just becomes a self-powered push cart. As long as you stay behind it and within arms reach to push the large stop/go button on the handlebars you won’t have any issues. The stop/go button is also a dial for speed control which you can track on the large screen. The 2026 version of the M7 Remote can also track distance travelled for the round and an individual shot as well as keep time for the round.
In the box you’ll also get a few accessories including a scorecard holder, umbrella holder, bottle holder and an anti-tip wheel for the back. You’re going to want to install that anti-tip wheel immediately because it will absolutely be the reason you don’t break your new Motocaddy. It also gives you the chance to turn your Motocaddy into an R2-D2 like character every time you start it moving. That’s just a nice bonus. Motocaddy also has plenty of accessories available to build the perfect caddy system for you. Heated gloves for the handles, an accessory pouch to load down the caddy with more gear, a seat for taking breaks, a rangefinder pouch, and more are all available from their site or major retailers.
When you’re done with your round the M7 Remote folds down into a very managable size and it automatically shuts off and disconnects the battery once you fold it down. It just takes two levers to fold the M7 Remote into itself and it can fit in whatever car you’re driving to the course.
At the end of the day, the Motocaddy really is a big help. I can’t make it through 18 holes carrying my bag on my shoulders or pushing a push cart. My knees give out and it’s rather uncomfortable to finish the round. I also don’t play many places that have caddies available. When I’m home, I try to walk as much as I can and the Motocaddy allows me to do that. I even bring my old Motocaddy with me for friends to use, and they love the relief just as much as I do.
