  • Best overall

    Golfted GT-AR: aluminium frame, 10.5 kg

    Listed at 10.5 kg, the lowest weight given for any trolley in this guide.

  • Best value

    Golfted GT-R: stainless steel, downhill control

    Downhill control stops the trolley speeding up on slopes, as the listing states.

  • Most features

    Golfted ASR: twin 180 W motors, folds in half

    Aluminium frame that folds in half, according to the listing.

A remote control trolley lets you walk to your ball while the bag follows a few metres ahead, so you arrive with hands free and no strain on the arms. The useful differences are not the remote itself but what sits behind it: how much the frame weighs when you lift it into the boot, how much motor power is there for steep British hills, how many holes the lithium battery covers, whether there is downhill control so the trolley does not run away, and how small it folds. This guide compares remote trolleys from Golfted, TCTNT and others on those points as each listing states them. None of the listings states the remote's working range, so treat that as a question for the seller before you buy.
