MGI Zip Navigator Remote Electric Trolley Review
Australian-based electric trolley manufacturer MGI is renowned around the world for its range of electric trolleys (opens in new tab) and the Zip Navigator is the flagship model in its line up.
As remote control golf trolleys (opens in new tab) go, the Zip Navigator is a pretty complete package and provides a highly enjoyable, stress-free user experience that provides golfers with the ideal companion on the course.
Whether you have used a remote trolley before or not, the first thing it needs to be is incredibly stable. The Zip Navigator excels in this category and we quickly grew confident that, whatever part of the golf course we sent it scurrying across, we’d arrive next to our ball with our trolley and bag waiting.
The excellent stability is in part thanks to the rear 4th wheel which keeps the trolley from tipping backwards if it goes up a steep incline. It also features downhill speed control – a feature that stops it going too quickly down steep hills – which adds to the confident stability of the trolley.
The hands-free remote is ergonomic and the trolley responds rapidly when you ask it to go faster, turn or stop altogether. The remote is best stored in your pocket while you play, and the ‘lock’ button stops any buttons being unwillingly pressed while the remote is in your pocket – a vital feature we only fully utilized once the trolley had begun trundling toward the next tee box while we were still on the putting green.
The T-Bar handle has a humble but useful display on it, showing speed, battery charge and how many yards have been covered. It’s not flashy, but it does the job. The trolley can also be controlled from the T-Bar if you don’t want to use the remote, but we found this a bit awkward so we recommend using the excellent remote system most, if not all, of the time.
The trolley uses a high powered ‘click & go’ 24v lithium battery and it certainly packs a punch. At top speed the trolley can really shift, but it is also as comfortable…
