The Best Electric Golf Trolleys (UK 2026)

By the Trolley Guru editorial team · Updated 2026 · How we test & score

An electric golf trolley drives itself along under battery power, so you simply walk alongside and steer - saving your energy for your swing. They cost more than push trolleys and need charging between rounds, but for hilly courses, longer days or anyone with back or joint issues they're a game-changer. Here's what to look for and our top electric picks.

Quick answer

PowaKaddy leads the UK electric market with its FX and CT ranges, with Motocaddy, Ben Sayers and Hillman also strong. Match the battery to your golf: an 18-hole lithium battery covers a standard round, 27 and 36-hole batteries suit hills or multiple rounds. Look for a smooth, compact fold - the battery makes electric trolleys heavier to lift, so an easy fold matters.

What to look for

Battery range is the headline: buy enough capacity for your longest regular round with a margin to spare, as running flat on the back nine is no fun. Lithium batteries are light and last for years with normal care. Check the folded size and weight with the battery fitted, and look for useful extras like a handle-mounted speed control, USB charging or GPS on premium models.

How we pick

We rate electric trolleys on battery range, build quality, how easily they fold with the battery in place, and how stable they feel on undulating fairways. Premium models earn their price with better electronics, longer warranties and features like GPS; value models focus on getting you round reliably. Every pick is a genuine electric golf trolley.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a golf trolley battery last?

An 18-hole lithium battery is designed to complete a standard round on one charge, with 27 and 36-hole batteries giving more headroom for hilly courses or two rounds in a day. Charge after each round and a good lithium battery will last several seasons. If you often walk hilly courses, size up on battery capacity.

Are electric golf trolleys worth the extra money?

If you want to save energy, walk hilly courses, or have any back or joint issues, an electric trolley is well worth it - it does the pushing for you across the whole round. If you're on a tight budget or your course is flat and short, a push trolley may be all you need.

Bottom line

Our top pick is the Young Gun Golf Adjustable (our score 9.6/10) - A practical golf trolley to keep you fresher round the course..
