I haven’t had any problems with mud/grass in the front assembly despite there being a lot of wet freshly cutgrass on my course at times.
However, I have split the odd finger-nail when strugglng to get the bungee clips to rotate, so I would appreciate a replacement when available (red for preference) just to save my nails !
When I bought my GoKart in February this year, I also bought a spare battery carrier, as the battery (18 hole type) from my defunct imported and “auto-collapsing ” old trolley was still useable (although it needed economic use to get round the full 18 holeswith the old trolley). Used on the GoKart, on alternate rounds, it still easily copes with 18 holes and recently, when I forgot to put the other battery (the one from GoKart ) in my car boot ready for a 36 hole day, the old battery was still coping at the end of the second round. Your machine really does “what it says on the tin”.

Hi Ling -
You’ll benefit from the new lower bag rest when it’s moulded, we’ll let you know when it’s ready to send. All very easy to fit and no more clogging! Glad everything else is hunky dory and you’re enjoying the GK.

Just bought my new GoKart,used it the first time,generally very happy except the front wheel is sucking up the cut grass/leaves and mud.Oh,green keeper were busy tinning the fairways.I wonder if my new trolley bought in Oct has the old design.

Hi Steve,
Well happy wotsits! And yes, you can have a new lower bag rest as a prezzie but…it hasn’t been possible to make the foot stick up any higher, given the design constraints of modifying the existing tool. It couldn’t be made bigger.

Steve,
We know what you mean. We’ve tried loads of different make of stand bag on the GoKart. The trouble is there are many different base/stand configurations. There’s no way we can make one design to suit them all. We hope our latest stab at it will be a good compromise.
Cart bags are a different thing completely – we’re confident they’ll all fit the GoKart really well

This new bag support would benefit from a larger foot to rest the bag on as I have a problem with the foot of my stand bag twisting on the small foot, if it was a bit longer it would rest on the sole of the bag and not the stand foot, does this make sense?
