Motocaddy expands S-Series with touchscreen GPS model

Motocaddy has introduced the S5 GPS trolley, and matching S5 GPS DHC, both of which bolster their S-Series range.  

The new trolleys expand the Motocaddy GPS range to eight models, all of which have an integrated GPS system.  

The new S5 GPS features the brand’s quickest ever 1-step folding system, as well as Motocaddy’s ‘Click ‘N’ Connect’ battery technology, which provides cable-free connectivity, while also automatically disconnecting the battery when the trolley is folded. When using the trolley, there’s nine speed settings available. There’s also adjustable distance control and Motocaddy’s Easilock bag-to-trolley system, which they say removes the need for a lower bag strap.

The DHC model features downhill control, which allows the trolley to move at a constant speed while going down a gradient, making for a smoother ride. 

“Motocaddy has led the way in pioneering golf trolley GPS technology, and the new S5 GPS will be the premium flagship model in the award-winning S-Series range” said Motocaddy CEO, John Helas. “The modern styling, simple folding-system and cable-free battery combine perfectly with touchscreen GPS and smart technology to provide golfers with a great partner to walk the fairways with,” he said. 

The GPS system built into the 3.5” LCD touchscreen display, designed to be visible no matter how bright, features a dynamic green view that matches the hole being played and incorporates the ability to drag and drop the pin position, plus accurate yardages to the front, middle and back of the green.  

Other features visible directly through the trolley handle includes any hazard information on the hole, score tracking and the par of each hole, a clock and round timer, the ability to measure a shot, automatic hole advancement and a battery indicator. Potential life-saving defibrillator (AED) locations at the course can also be found on the screen, as well as crucial CPR instructions for playing partners.

When connected to the free Motocaddy GPS app, golfers can also receive smartphone notifications direct to the screen. On course smartphone charging is also available using the trolley’s patented USB charging port, plus Over‑the‑Air course and system updates via the built-in WiFi connection will keep golfers fully up-to-date.  

In addition to the features already mentioned, owners of the new S5 GPS qualify for a free six-month trial of the exclusive cellular-powered Motocaddy Performance Plan.
