Three Wheel Golf Cart Frequently Asked Questions

This section was created for the golfer who needed some assistance with their golf cart purchase. There are many styles of three wheel and four wheel golf push carts available in the market today and we hope you will find our recommendations corner helpful in making your purchase.

I am looking for a cart that is small and folds to a compact size what do you recommend and what are the pros & cons of this style of golf push cart?
In the past several years the buyer has been requesting a push cart that will fold to a much smaller size to be able to fit in any size car or storage area and this request has resulted in many new models meeting this demand. Clicgear was the first brand to create a cart that would fold a very small size (13" x 15" x 24”) This was a unique challenge for the industry as it involved many small folding parts but the results are quite convenient. Now you can find various brands offering push carts similar to this model ranging from Linksman Golf X-10 ($129.99) to Sun Mountain Sports Micro Cart ($199.99) both easy to fold and well made. As with any new feature added something has to give. With the ability to fold a cart to a small size you are unable to fold this cart style while leaving the golf bag on the cart. In addition to this some models will take a small learning curve to learn how to efficiently fold.
What are the differences in a Three wheel and Four wheel golf push cart design?
So why come out with models that now have 4 wheels on a trolley versus just the 3 wheel golf carts that hit the market some 10 years ago? The addition of the Four wheel cousin offers a product that will be a bit more stable than some three wheel designs. This stability is especially noticeable on hilly terrain or if you like to be a little aggressive with the cart and have it roll fast down hills on it’s own (we’ve all done it if you have operated a golf push cart….if you haven’t then try it). The four wheel models typically incorporate a folding design that allows the cart o fold into a smaller compact shape that is flat and can be easily stored by hanging it up flat against any wall. Since compact folding size is a priority with four wheel golf push carts you can’t expect to have a lot of storage area available in the scorecard holder versus many of the 3 wheel designs and you will also be unable to fold the cart while leaving the golf bag on it.

What are the advantages of air filled pneumatic tires for a golf push cart versus EVA polymer non-airfilled tires?
Originally golf push cart manufacturers entered the market with carts that had wheels made of rubber that were air filled. Air filled tires were the premium tire in the market with quality ball bearing wheels and bushing but there was always the variable of a potential flat tire or maintenance not mention the price of this particular style of tire was fairly high to produce. The industry listened to its customers that did not want to worry over pumping a tire or replacing a flat and quickly switched over to non-airfilled wheels. This type of polymer wheel is becoming the norm for most all 3 and 4 three wheel push carts in the market. All polymer wheels now are made from durable long lasting resins/polymers and will require no maintenance for the golfer.
