Stewart Golf Vertx Remote Trolley Review
It’s been a busy year in the remote electric trolley market. New models have been launched from pretty much every electric trolley brand out there and the innovations in this space have been coming thick and fast. The latest to join the party is Stewart Golf, a brand that, in my opinion, has been the authority on remote technology for the last decade. With the Motocaddy M7 GPS, PowaKaddy RX1 GPS and Alphard Club Booster V2 all offering golfers a new remote experience for 2023, I was interested to see how the Vertx was going to try and cement Stewart’s place atop the remote trolley standings.
At first glance, those familiar with the design of Stewart trolleys will notice a lot of similarities and a few refreshments to the overall design. Aside from the sporty new wheel design and refreshed Stewart logo, the bones of this trolley share a lot of similarities to the Q Follow trolley. The Vertx Remote trolley also shares the same folding system we’ve become familiar with from Stewart. It’s a well-designed and efficient two-step system that folds up surprisingly compactly considering the 2023 Remote’s overall size. Remarkably, it’s the only model versus the Motocaddy and PowaKaddy that has an integrated carry handle into its design, allowing it to be easily moved from point A to point B despite the relatively heavy weight. This is such a simple yet effective piece of design that I’m amazed other brands haven’t prioritised adding it to their models.

On-course performance is highlighted by a key new technology under the hood of the Vertx Remote that makes it a class leader for remote functionality. It’s called Active Terrain Control (ATC) and it’s an all-new operating system that is designed to allow the trolley to tackle any sort of landscape or gradient on the golf course. This new operating system allows the Vertx Remote to react to its surroundings and atomically redistribute power accordingly between the twin motors. ATC uses a powerful microchip that is constantly monitoring the power requirements for each motor, allowing it to redistribute power where necessary to keep the trolley stable.
Unlike standard downhill braking, ATC allows the Vertx Remote to automatically keep travelling at the same speed, uphill or downhill, without the user having to change the power output. Not having to constantly…
