I took my ranger out for the first time golfing. I had my waver form printed out but the course manager said they did not need it and no trail fee..Yes! It was a blast and the only set backs were loss of concentration on the first few holes..because I was having fun riding it..and once when my towel hanging from my bag got caught in back wheel. Another plus is you can ride ahead and make a polite request that the group ahead play faster..Haha

[@petercameron8832]

I have a mercane wide wheel pro scooter , made a little sidecar for it to carry my bag. No seat just standup,had it 2 years and still holding full charge. Downside is have to be super careful when the grass is wet, touchwood have not fallen yet!

[@mydudeleakytiki3261]

I live in Southern California and have found some courses extremely reluctant to allowing you to use an ebike as a golf cart. I have taken to replacing the phrase, "ebike" to "pedal assist bicycle". It's surprising how frightened a course is of an electric bike or ebike here. But get the bike setup with the rack and your clubs, offer them the Waiver (replacing "ebike" with "Pedal Assist Bicycle" and let them know you're only going to go as quick as the group in front of you and they usually capitulate. With that said, I love my "GolfEbike" (Divnick) rack. I use the bike as a golf cart a couple times a week. I've modified my PAS settings to 0-7 and use either level 2 (25%) or level 3 (35%). At my age, I need all the exercise I can get. I still pedal, and even ride the bike with clubs attached to my local course. It's 8 miles away. There's plenty of power for me to get to the course, play a round and get back ... And I'm not a lightweight.

[@mjohnpill]

I bought a rack from Divnick golf for my ebike. There are about a half dozen courses around the Milwaukee area that allow their use. I’ve used this setup for many years and am now on my second battery. I hope this catches on more. It definitely speeds up the game and makes it much more fun!

[@drummerman9872]

Can you tell me which courses allow e-bikes. I'm also from the area and in the process of buying an e-bike. Thanks!

I have used a Golf Skate Caddy (golf board - cart) for several years, like this it's a single person 'non walking ' option. It's fun to surf the turf on my golf board and it's saves my bad back. Can do 18 holes in 80 minutes. Shooting 80 😎

[@williammuff5485]

how do you get it to/from the course?

[@TheflyingkiwiRC]

@@williammuff5485In my car. It folds flat, still long though need to be able to fold down the passenger seats.

[@stevedivnick]

We like all single-rider devices because they help speed up the game...but are biased toward ebikes over the stand-up boards because you can get as much, or as little exercise as you want. And they are faster and more maneuverable, and they cost about 1/3rd that of the golf boards!!!

[@biagiocozza8875]

Great video. I know sum courses around here does not allow personal carts and bikes. But this is a great alternative to a golf cart. I wish every golf course out there had these for rent. Man just imagine how fast you will play golf ⛳️ no more 30 minutes golf holes. Love it

[@stevedivnick]

I certainly agree with you...hoping all courses get some ebikes to rent and welcome golfer-owned ebikes. I think it is only a matter of time. We discuss this in detail on our "Golf Course" page on golfebikes.com/golf-courses/.

I live where a lot of people have street-legal golf carts. My home course does NOT allow you to bring your own cart. I'm positive they would not allow this, either. I'd like to see some stats on this. I used to play a course that had something similar for rent, $20 for 18 holes. Cart fee was $15

[@douglasdort]

Is there a promo code from Mr Short Game from Heybike???👀

[@deanchamblin2160]

I work at the courses @ Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort...Baytowne, Raven and Links courses and can tell you right now most courses and especially resort courses won't allow these. We have problems now with guests in the resort thinking the golf course and its cart paths are bicycle paths and we're constantly having to get them off the course. These will also represent a problem by those golfers who like to consume alcohol while playing golf for renting purposes, you would have to ban alcohol use while renting these as we get problems as it is with golfers drinking and damaging carts, flipping them, etc....and these would be more dangerous with alcohol. Then there is the GPS that we use in our carts to keep track of pace of play, cart locations such as keeping them off greens, cart paths on cart path only days due to very wet fairways, out of parking lots, etc....

[@2Eaglez]

Loved this video as I live on my course and currently have my own cart so no transporting most of the time. Going to other courses would be the advantage. Wish you had given some prices of the bike and the bag stand. As a senior golfer, I would prefer a three wheeler with items like a ball washer/club cleaner, a cooler or some storage and a drink holder, but that might be an issue on transporting to another course.

[@stevedivnick]

Phil, The Ranger is $1399, Bag Carrier is $174 when purchased together, Mudguard is $10, $15.97 shipping totals to $1598.97 all in. 3-wheelers are not nearly as stable because you can't lean into uneven ground. Balance on 2 wheels is automatic and stays upright when going over uneven ground. You can carry lots of extra things in basket on the right side of the rear rack.

This E bike is cool. It would speed up the play and allow more golfers through the course. Matt someone needs to figure out how to attach an umbrella incase it rains.

We actually discuss rain in our FAQ's on golfebikes.com/faqs/. It wouldn't be difficult to rig up an umbrella or a cover like the one we show in the FAQ's, but I'm not sure how practical that would be. Of course, golfers get wet even if they are in a cart because they are only protected while riding.

[@petegalindez9961]

Great review. I’m seriously looking into one of these. I’m in my early 50s, but have had both hips replaced. I normally walk the course to keep my exercise going since I can’t run anymore, but this would be a great addition to add some biking…one question, did you find the stand that comes out with the bag dig into the ground at all? That bracket looked a bit thin on the bottom and might dig into softer ground?

It’s nice. You still have to pay the trail fee at the course. A friend of mine just got a cycle board for about $3k, n he’s paying $70 per month to use it.

[@stevedivnick]

It depends on the courses. None of the courses we play in the Dayton Ohio area charge a trail fee...just the normal walking fee. As our ebike numbers grow, competition from courses that don't charge a trail fee will apply pressure on the others to do the same. I invite you to come take a look at our "Golf Course Response" page on www.golfebikes.com/golf-courses

mr short game, do you think that golf courses would allow these on their property and take away the revenue of cart fees, also would there be be a liability problem? i like the idea though.

[@martyshaw4709]

Check out the Finn golf scooter. I’ve used them and straddling your golf bag keeps your weight perfectly centered on the bike.

[@stevedivnick]

We like the Finn Cycles too...as they help to advance the "single-rider" options. But the ebikes are about 1/3rd the cost, and balance is automatic...you don't even feel the weight on the back. One of our customers who also owns a Finn described the functional difference this way. "With the Finn Cycle, you come to a stop beside your ball, get off, use your foot to push down the kick stand, walk around to the front of the bike to pull your club, take your shot, walk around to the front again to put the club back, then back to the side, raise the cycle upright, push the kick stand back up with your foot, then get on and take off." "With the Golf Ebike, you come to a stop, push the top of the bag into the kick stand mode as you get off, your right hand is already right there next to your clubs, take your shot, drop your club back into the bag, stand the bike up (the bag carrier automatically goes back to the upright position) and take off." And of course, he likes the fact that it is a pedal bike so he can get as much, or as little exercise as he wants. He can use all throttle and ride it like a scooter, or he can pedal with as much assist as he desires.

I like my Finn Cycle from Sun Mountain Motor Sports because the bag sits on the center line of the frame opposed to hanging off the side. This is nice as you can pedal if you like.

[@stevedivnick]

The Finn Cycles are cool... Regarding your center-line comment, it is usually surprising to people that they can't even feel the bag of clubs on the side of our ebikes. Balance is automatic. And the clubs are quite a bit handier on the side than out the front. But we are in favor of all single-rider devices so we can speed up the game. We like the fact that our ebikes are a lot less expensive than the Finn and other riders, that they can be folded for easy transport, that they provide as much or as little exercise as you want, and they can be used for many other things like family rides, errands, even to-and-from work. Come check us out at www.GolfEbikes.com

It's faster because every player can ride to their own ball and not sit half the time waiting on their cart mate. The fat tires are less pounds per square inch on the turf than a golf cart.

With the Vivi, there was a video link to assist with assembly which made the process easier to follow (we did put the handlebars on upside down, but it was a quick and easy fix). With the Tentaquil, the assembly was not as simple to follow, but after we messaged the company for an assembly video, it was easier and they did respond quickly. The other major differences were that the Vivi has a grip throttle on the right handle (like a motorcycle) and the Tentaquil has a push throttle that you use your thumb to activate. The monitors were also different, so if you’re looking for something specific in terms of changing the bikes functions, pay attention to what the monitor offers. We were really impressed with the overall quality and functionality of both bikes, but if you’re looking for more power and an easier assembly, definitely go with the Vivi!

That is how we are growing our market...paying our customers to show-and-tell their ebikes and carriers...something they already like doing. But the $100 motivates additional effort...to courses, email lists, offering our Hole-In-One Win-A-Bike Contests at charity golf outings, etc.

Do they still charge you cart price? Or is it walking price?

[@stevedivnick]

Many of the courses in our area only charge a walking fee. I know that some courses will charge a "trail fee" that will be more than walking but less than renting. But I predict that competition as ebikes become more and more popular will press toward just a walking fee...similar to when golfers bring their own electric bag carrier...for which no courses charge extra.

I think the cart 🚶‍♂️ walking would be better

[@lkae4]

Walking is proven to be slower than cart. If this is faster than cart, it could be great. But I wonder about some of the really slopey tracks out there.

[@Irimis]

@@lkae4 In optimal conditions walking is slower, in real world with normal golfers its going to depend. I've been in walking groups that plays way faster than a cart group, not just based on skill but the guys in the cart all going to one ball, watching then driving to the next ball even when the ball does not belong to someone in the cart. I personally hate the courses that say its a pace of play thing because when I walk I am quicker than a good amount of people in carts.

[@lkae4]

@@Irimis Maybe. But fast golfers on a cart will smoke faster golfers walking any day. But I think doubles carts are part of the problem. I would like to see some courses bring out singles electric carts and see how that goes

[@gmwilliams4314]

I own a bike. Is the rack sold separately?

[@jdostergolfvlogs5281]

yes

[@adamsoutdoors8342]

Does it come with the bag holder

[@stevedivnick]

You can order the ebike and bag carrier together on www.GolfEbikes.com. See the "Prices and Ordering" page.

[@monabaiunco]

Awesome

[@freddytangen444]

This is how it should be.

[@brettbutler1998]

Yes it's electric Yes it's legal Yes it's expensive Yes it's foldable Yes it's fast Yes it's able to easily do a course in a single charge NO YOU CAN'T HAVE A GO!

[@dennisoosterbaan6872]

Wondering if rules will be developed to keep bikes off the tee boxes and away from the greens? Betting so . . .

[@stevedivnick]

I agree with you. We recommend using them like a bag cart...close to the greens and tee boxes. but not on them.

[@txterbug]

Would WAY rather pay the same price for a decent golf cart and have all the extra room. I mean honestly WHAT is the point of the bike?

[@clintsanderson6019]

Single rider fun that fits in the back of your SUV or truck 👍🏼
