PowaKaddy’s compact electric trolley family – known as the CT Series – have always been one of the best compact electric trolleys to use in my opinion. The incredibly compact and easy folding mechanism, alongside one of the best looking chassis on the market, make for a great electric trolley. The PowaKaddy CT6 GPS been incredibly popular for the best part of four years now, but this year, the brand is extending the family out to introduce the new CT10 GPS and CT12 GPS. Both trolleys are built on the same platform but have been given new, portrait 3.5-inch and 5-inch touchscreens, respectively.
PowaKaddy isn’t the first brand to employ a vertical screen on its trolleys – MGI has done this before – but PowaKaddy is the first brand to attach a huge 5-inch touchscreen in this orientation. I got to test the larger-screened CT12 GPS and was excited to see how this new screen orientation worked in the real world.
The screen is large, clear and rich with detail that allows you to accurately plot your way down the hole. It’s much clearer than this picture comes across!

To get straight to the point, I think the new screen is superb. It just makes perfect sense to have the screen in this orientation, considering it’s the exact shape of the hole. Some may be concerned that the screen protrudes too far from the handle and will thus get in the way of putting clubs into the bag, but this isn’t the case, and PowaKaddy has done a great job of making what is a considerable change to the footprint of the handle barely noticeable. Included is a neat silicone screen protector, which will protect the screen when you’re not using the trolley.
The new orientation allows for so much more to be displayed on the bright, colourful screen. The shape of the hole and the positioning of the hazards are so much clearer than ever before, and it allows you to gain a real understanding of what is in front of you. It’s an intuitive screen and user interface, too, taking barely any time to get familiar with. It’s got the responsiveness of a standard smartphone with the ability to pinch and scroll like it’s your phone. It utilises the full hole mapping available on the screen to the absolute fullest, and the detail and accuracy are right up there with some of the best golf watches and best GPS devices out there.
It’s a great looking trolley, boosted here by the smart new Edge cart bag.
