Now you can complete your GoKart experience with our cool, colour co-ordinated brolly to brighten up those rainy days.
Available in all six GoKart colours, our umbrella is stormproof (and waterproof. Well it would be really, wouldn’t it?) and costs just £19.50 + p&p (ROI €23.00). Available in the webshop here now (ROI here). Just click on the ‘optional accessories’ tab and you’ll see all the goodies we have to tempt you.
A little more information on the construction of the umbrella to reassure that it will not turn inside out at the first puff of wind. Does it open unaided i.e. sprung. On a scale of 1.to 10 with 1 being the lowest quality and 10 being the best, give it a score! Gerald
Gerald,
Apologies we don’t have more photos of the new umbrellas at the moment. We haven’t had a chance yet but we are planning to get this put right soon. The frame is not the self opening type, but it is very robust and is certainly at least equal in quality to other top brand umbrellas. It also has a storm proof canopy which allows the wind through (but not the rain!), so it won’t be troubled by even the most vicious puff of wind.
i play on a course ( southerndown g.c. ) and it has commoners that graze sheep, this in turn clogs up the treads on my wheels with sheep dung , it takes me at least 5 mins. after every round to clean my wheels . i have tried spraying them with silicon before i play but the dung still sticks like glue to my wheels. Any sugestions please !!!!
p.s. I,m to long in the tooth to join another club.
Grahame,
We find Border Collies work quite well
Would love one but they are too expensive compared to others.
BROLLY SIZE’ AND NEEDS BETTER PHOTOGRAPHS ALSO IS IT BLUE RING OR BLUE RING WITH WHITE DOT
David,
Apologies for the lack of photos. We’ll be publishing more details pictures in the next few days. The size of the canopy is 170cms. It’s quite big! The logo is just as it appears in the photo above; there are the three rings of our logo, with the outer ring being blue (or red, orange, green….)
DOES IT FIT INTO THE BROLLEY HOLDER YOU SUPPLY, BECAUSE I RECENTLY GOT A HOLDER FROM YOU AND I HAVE 3 UMBRELLAS THAT DONT FIT INTO THE HOLDER
There is mention of a brolly holder, does this allow the brolly to be clamped to the Kart in an open position, thereby sheltering the clubs from the elements, and if so. is there graphic details of this?
Yes our brolly will most certainly fit the brolly holder. We have to say it’s fairly unusual for brolly handles not to fit, for you to have three of them is a shame. We didn’t make the size awkward to force everyone into a GoKart brolly!
Hi Don. Yes it is possible to have the brolly unfolded when attached to the bracket. But not a great idea when it’s windy. There aren’t any photos of it like this on the site but we’ll see what we can do.
Would have had one..if the contrast whas diferent…Orange back ground with balck circle… alas..this Dutchman will stick with the one he has…same goes for your bags…not enough colour….apart from thse 2 little niggles, my trusted steed hasn’t let me down for over a year now on a 18th hole batterie…and i go out 3/4 times a week…best investment I have made, visa vie golf that is..
Hi Sandy,
The ‘new improved fella’ has arrived, you are the best……….many thanks ;-)
How I agree with Graham Harcombe (Nov 17th). The same thing happens at Royal North Devon (sheep and horses). Please can we have the option of buying the smooth tyres.
For the visually challenged out here, is that a blue circle on black umbrella or a blue circle on navy/dark blue?
Any thoughts about bringing out a ‘Go-Kart’ Rain Cover in the near future?
Hi Neil,
It’s blue on a black background. Very smart it looks too.
Yep, we’re working on it and will let everyone know when it’s ready. Might also have to think about ski attachments if it carries on like this…
I am trying to find the page which shows all the extras you can buy for the trolly. You used to have the pictures of them all but cannot find the page. My husband has one and I would like to buy the umbrella and holder for him but would like to look and them first also any other extras you might have.
Many thanks,
Sue.
Take a look here Sue, you’ll find plenty of shopping opportunities! –

Are there any plans for a device cradle in the near future, these items are becoming more and more popular and can now be used in most competitions?
Yes, Erica – we will be producing one and will announce its arrival on the blog and newsletters when it’s ready.
Just received new trolley with Brolly and Brolley Holder, they all look to be sturdy and fit for purpose, however, it is awkward to get the rolled up brolley in to the brolley compartment on my bag as the velcro tapes catch. A sock cover for the Brolley would sort this problem out.
Hi, just wondered if the brolley holder can be used in conjunction with the drinks holder.
Hi Pete,
yes you can have both accessories on the handle at the same time, one either side.
Any news about re-supply of your umbrellas?
Hi Bob, we’re still awaiting delivery but will most certainly let you know the minute they come in (when there will no doubt be a late summer drought). We’re sorry for the delay.
