“Fantastic quality and service!!”
Written on: 14/08/2012 by Rebecca-Ray
I agree with David P. Due to a very busy work schedule, I had 1 day in the week I ordered my Power Bug where i would be in for delivery which was the next day. I called the customer service line and they were more than happy to assure it was sent that day on a next day delivery service. I have had other electric trolleys in the past and while talking to the lady at Power Bug I certainly noticed the difference in the level of service. It felt very Taylor made to my needs!

Did a lot of research, this trolley is very similar to the Motocaddy, but is much better value.Ordered on Friday and was due for FREE delivery on Wednesday was unable to be there so phoned the office to reschedule to the Friday.The staff were very helpful and obliging and changed the delivery date. As promised it arrived on Friday. To add to my delight, Ihad ordered a store return model but what arrived was to all intents and purposes NEW! - Result. Easy to assemble, doddle to use, it does...

The Power Bug Digital has lots of good points, such as, Lightweight but strong construction, Compact when folded down and easy to load into the boot of the car. Their Customer Service is very good and their Web site is well constructed with detailed information on spares and accessories. There are 2 'major' faults to be considered when buying. The On/Off switch is situated on top of the handle (common to other manufactuers trollies)and is Very sensitive and can easily be set off... (read more)

Well I dont think much of it. Bought new in July battery only lasted few holes from the start. Phoned Powerbug twice ended up taking it 30 miles to get battery tested at cost of £10. Phoned Powerbug say battery faulty. Now I have to take it 20 odd miles so golf shop I bought it from can phone to tell them when I bought it etc.

Excellent service! I ordered Sunday Teatime and it arrived Tuesday am. Looks good just a simple design with a duel stop and speed control. This was supposed to be a store returned one but it still had all the origional packaging and not a mark on it, I'm delighted! the whole experience of buying on line from Powerbug was completely hassle free.

“Hassle-free, a pleasure to use!”
Written on: 16/08/2011 by golfer1949
I have recently purchased a PowerBug Pro-Sport Lithium trolley and I have to say, I have never used a more functional, hassle-free electric trolley in my many years of playing golf. Having had it for 4 months now, I have not had one problem thus far, and have enjoyed the silent, powerful motor it runs on. I usually play 18-holes down at my local golf club, but on the assurance of the PowerBug team, I tried playing 36-holes last week and it managed it with ease, and thats saying something...

“Great service”
Written on: 26/07/2011 by Hilbre
Had this trolley for a few years. Always thought it was good value for money. Had a small problem with a lost bolt, and the service received to fix it was great - let me have the missing part for free, taken from a part exchange trolley they had in. Never got this good after sales service from PowaKaddy, which is why I changed to this trolley when my PowaKaddy broke. (read more)

After buying my PowerBug Pro-Sport Digital Lithium at The Scottish Golf Show this year I feel I can now give a true review on this superb product.
This is my field test on my PowerBug Pro-Sport Digital Lithium LSR purchased on
27-04-2011.
Very lightweight and compact for both storage and for travelling.
Construction and design to a very high standard and very easy and quick to assemble, even for some who is Visually Impaired/Registered Blind like myself. It is also a stylish looking...

Written on: 03/05/2011 by dogleg79 (1 review written)
Despite all the good reviews my own experience has been terrible. I bought the trolley in Spring 2007 and have had to replace the speed control in 2008, 2009 and 2010 and guess what, it has started to pack up again. The people at Power Bug are most unhelpful and insist that the fault is still the speed control despite me having replaced it three times. Would not have been so bad if some effort had been made on their part to solve the problem. Definitely not recommended. (read more)

As we all know, some people will try to employ bully boy tactics to obtain free product by making threats of bad publicity. These tactics are not appreciated as the PowerBug customer support team will always attempt to remain helpful. We are committed to and will continue to deliver innovative, premium quality products to market offering the best value for money. To allow us to do this, we have to employ a strict warranty period against all products sold by our company or representatives. This does not detract from our commitment to offer industry best customer support whether product is in or out of warranty. To suggest that the PowerBug customer help line is unhelpful is at best inaccurate and probably made because free issue product could not be bullied out of our company. As many readers have already commented, you will always get the odd one!

There was no question of bullying anyone into giving free products.
I parted with the item in question and replaced it with something different before I posted the review.

I have come to the conclusion that mine must have been a rogue machine.
My wife has had one now for nearly a year with no problems.

Great product for the price this easily beats the more expensive makes hands down! Our course is quite hilly but this is never an issue runs day in day out and I probably play 72 holes plus a week. The staff are all only too willing to help and listen,

I finally took the plunge and bought a Power Bug Digital a couple of days ago from American Golf !Today I tried it out and was really impressed with it's easy to use simplicity! Up hill and down dale it performed well and very silent.
Unfortunately my golf did n't match the smoothness of the Power Bug but there will always be another day!
For £199 you can't go wrong give one a whirl!!

I have had the 2009 model for 2 months.The course that I play an up hill and down dale one, some of the hills extreme, and this trolley has performed admirally. The new design straps keep the bag rock solid with no hint of twisting, and the speed regulator is ideal. I generally set it to position 4 and it copes with most of the terrain without any manual help. My playing partner also has one of these trolleys and has no complaints either.

I got to see one first hand here and i have to say was really impressed with everything about it. The staff were very helpful and clearly alot of thought and gone into the product and all of the accessories.

Everything about this product seems really good. Very quiet, well built and is a straight forward trolley that does exactly what it is supposed to do. I really did not mind paying the price offered at my American Golf shop because when I stood it against the other makes, it was as good or better at a cheaper price. The AG people like the product as well. they say the support for this product is really good. (read more)

I have seen the Power Bug and hear good comments from people who own them. I recently took the plunge and purchased one from American Golf. The trolley is great. Mine is a digital model and when I called power Bug to ask about charging the battery, they were really helpful.
I have had my trolley for over six months now and would not be without it. I wuld recommend powerbug.

Strong frame, light and small enough to fit into the boot. I like this make because the product is simple to use and very reliable. I have had so many arguments with my wife that after a year of using mine, she has bought one for herself!
What credit crunch!!
The people at A1 Power Bug assisted me with my purchase and are really easy to deal with. Makes a change to talk to a person rather than some automated system.
Thanks Power Bug!

The A1 Power Bug Sport has a very nice shape. The standard battery is good enough for 18 holes and you can easily fold it down.
Very good value for that price.

Written on: 03/08/2008 by robmce (1 review written)
Easy to carry, fold, unfold etc - good battery, charger - helpful people at Hare Hatch. When you fold it up, the handle swings down and the speed control button hits the front wheel carrier. I don't know if this would lead to failure in time. I have a suspicion that the earlier non-digital Powerbug would have been better but I was too late to get one of those! (read more)

Interesting comments David. You might be interested in my observations about Motocaddy and the obvious similarities to Power Bug. I have close friends who work for one of the big online suppliers of golf equipment and they too say 'have a look at Power Bug'.
