clicgear1.jpgSo I got to the point where my wife and I were playing golf close to 3 times a week. On some of the longer courses carrying can be tiring and constantly paying for a power cart can drain the wallet of money to buy fun new gear. I went on the search for a push cart for both my wife and I. Being a techie, I was immediately drawn to the Clicgear push cart for it's high tech looks and innovative design. I went out after playing 18 at Ballantrae and picked up two, a black one for myself and a silver one for my wife (I wanted an orange one and blue one for the wife but as usual Canada bites and the only colors were black and silver).

I had actually read on some other Japanese golf blog that clicgear's were made in Japan but not sold there which doesn't surprise me since everyone rides. If someone can confirm that please drop me a message.

When I got home my wife and I decided to first put the carts together in the living room. After removing the packaging, each cart was nicely folded into a compact 12 inch by 12 inch footprint. The folded cart was around 24" tall. There were no parts as it was already fully assembled.

I warn you now, as technical as you think you may be, READ the instructions. I of course did not and began pulling here and there trying to get the cart to unfold. Of course being a quality product, it had latches that locked the cart together in it's closed position and if I didn't resort to the instructions, trying to force the cart to unfold probably would have broken a few parts. So after unlatching the locks you place the clicgear on the front wheel and with one hand releasing the latch just below the handle bar compartments and the other pulling upwards, the cart unfolds into almost it's finished shape. Lock the middle latch and turn the front wheel vertical and you have your clicgear. Once you get used to doing this folding and unfolding, it takes literally less than 30 seconds.

The clicgear comes with strong bungy cords attached for securing your bag and a hand brake that locks or slows the front wheel. You can also peform an alignment on the wheels if you find that the cart is not rolling straight but we had no issues as both rolled straight right out of the box.The handle bars can be adjusted for height and have a compartment for balls and snacks as well as a bottle holder, tee holders and elastic cord for holding scorecards. There is also an attachment for an umbrella holder (included) and a miniture hand pump for the tires.

The clicgear is super light weight and rolls with ease. We've had them out three times already and they are easy to transport in our car side by side and with our golf bags. No removable parts is a plus. My only qualm with the clicgear is the brake. It is an L shaped plastic piece on the handlebar that you have to pull with quite a bit of foce, I was scared to break it initially. You can pull on it to slow the cart and pull on it and turn it to lock the cart in place. We took this cart to Golfer's Dream out in Durham here which is VERY hilly and we had no problems at all, smooth pushing all the way and handled all inclines and declines with no problems. The high quaility bicycle like tires were smooth and absorbed bumps.

A worthwhile addition to our golfing pleasures.
