Transporting an electric golf trolley by car: dimensions and weight

An electric golf trolley is only practical if it gets to the course. That is why the question of the car boot is almost as important as the battery: does the folded unit fit in my car, and can I load it on my own? This guide gives you the transport dimensions and weights of the GOOTER models at a glance and a short guide to measuring up.

Step 1: measure your boot

Do not rely on brochure figures for boot capacity; measure the actual opening and load space. You need these values:

  • Width of the loading opening at its narrowest point, often between the wheel arches.
  • Height of the opening up to the tailgate or parcel shelf.
  • Length of the load space, with and without the rear seat folded down.
  • Height of the loading sill, because it determines how high you have to lift the unit when loading.

Compare these dimensions with the folded unit. Also allow room for your golf bag, your shoes and the charger.

Step 2: compare the transport dimensions

The table shows the folded dimensions according to the manufacturer. The figures refer to the state stated, for example without battery or without seat cushion.

ModelFolded transport sizeNote
E-⁠CadProapprox. 105 × 54.3 × 39 cmwithout battery
E-⁠Cad Follow App Proapprox. 73.2 × 63.0 × 36.8 cmmanufacturer figure
E-⁠CadFollow Lightapprox. 90 × 60 × 38 cmafter quick release approx. 62 × 59 × 30 cm
E-⁠CadCruiser Proapprox. 42 × 58 × 76 cm (L × W × H)without seat cushion
Ecad SeatStand 3.0approx. 106 × 69 × 45 cmhandlebar folded, without seat, without golf bag

For the E-⁠CadOne and the E-⁠CadLight Carbon Remote we do not state a folded transport size. The E-⁠CadOne measures approx. 100 × 70 × 60 cm (L × W × H) when set up, and the E-⁠CadLight packaging measures approx. 75 × 74 × 25 cm. For the BalancePro (on request) we likewise state no transport size; set up, it measures approx. 45 × 70 × 100 cm (L × W × H).

Step 3: check the weight for loading

On most models you can remove the battery before loading and so reduce the lifting weight. The table shows the manufacturer figures.

ModelWeight
E-⁠CadOneapprox. 8 kg without battery, approx. 9.5 kg with battery
E-⁠CadLight Carbon Remoteapprox. 8.5 kg including battery
E-⁠CadFollow Lightapprox. 14.9 kg with battery; after quick release without battery approx. 10.35 kg (battery approx. 1.5 kg)
E-⁠Cad Follow App Proapprox. 18.5 kg without battery (battery approx. 1.8 kg)
E-⁠CadProapprox. 28 kg without battery, approx. 33 kg with battery
Ecad SeatStand 3.0approx. 30 kg without battery (battery approx. 5 kg), approx. 35 kg with battery
E-⁠CadCruiser Proapprox. 46 kg with battery and seat
BalancePro (on request)approx. 52 kg with battery

Practical loading tips

  • Switch the unit off before folding and remove the golf bag.
  • Take out the battery if you want to reduce the weight, and transport it separately and safely.
  • After folding, check that the locks have engaged so that nothing unfolds by itself.
  • Heavier units such as the E-⁠CadCruiser Pro or the SeatStand 3.0 are best lifted by two people.
  • After transport, check screws and locks. The E-⁠CadPro manual recommends this too.

Frequently asked questions

Will the E-⁠CadPro fit in my car boot?

That depends on your vehicle. Folded, the E-⁠CadPro measures approx. 105 × 54.3 × 39 cm without battery according to the manufacturer. Measure your loading opening and compare the values.

How can I reduce the loading weight?

Remove the battery. On the E-⁠CadFollow Light, the quick release also makes the unit smaller, and it then weighs approx. 10.35 kg without battery.

Which model is the easiest to transport?

According to the manufacturer figures, the E-⁠CadOne (approx. 8 kg without battery) and the E-⁠CadLight Carbon Remote (approx. 8.5 kg including battery) are the lightest models in the line-up.

Conclusion and recommendation

Measure your boot first, then compare transport size and weight. The trolleys in particular are compact and light; with the ride-on units you should plan the loading in advance. You will find an overview of all models with the key data in the model comparison, and all units in the electric golf trolleys collection. One example of a compact model is the E-⁠CadFollow Light.

All models except the BalancePro are in stock, with delivery usually within 7 business days and EU-wide shipping. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout. The BalancePro is available on request.
