    Best 3 Wheel Push Cart?

    I am going to buy a 3 wheeled push cart and I am looking for opinions on the best one. I am currently looking at the Callaway. Is the Sun Mountain one really worth the extra $60?

    Thanks

    I like the clicgear cart personally. I would get that one if I was getting a cart.

    who makes the callaway? (I am assuming its just branded by them) I like my bag boy, but I can see a sun mountain (or something even better if it exists) in my future.

    I just got a Clicgear for Xmas, and while I haven't got a chance to try it out, the thing is AWESOME! I liked my old one, but at almost 6' 5" I found it a little low and I was hunched over pushing it. The Clicgear sits up nice and high and folds down incredibly small in a fraction of the time.

    My only concern right now is the color. I think I'm gonna change it up.

    I have looked at the Clickgear---great design and function. My only thoughts are that it folds up rather large---vs long and narrow. The other point is its weight.(for women) We can put 4 bags and 4 bag-boy 3/wheelers in the trunk-----I am sure it would only be 2/2 with the Clickgear
    Does the 2nd hole-n-one come easier ?

    Isn't one of the huge features of the clicgear the fact that it folds down dimensionally the smallest of all the 3 wheelers?

    Carts

    I have had many carts, I and many of my freinds have settled on the sun mountian (V1) push cart, well worth the extra cash for ease in pushing and durabilty, also parts look like they will be available for many years to come if you ever require repair.

    The Clicgear is by far the best as compact wise.
    I was one of the first to get one and I don't regret it.

    Callaways are likely made by Bagboy and as far as size it's nothing compare to Clicgear. They are also built on a thin metal fream and they seem not as solid as the competition.

    Sunmountain is not a bad choice either but im very satisfy with clicgear.

    Clicgear

    Yes it is.

    It's the most compact you can get.

    24 inches tall when fold.

    I don't even have to fold down my back seats to put it in my Matrix.

    Gotta put my 2 cents in here, Bagboy has the best customer service, I have had my SC525 for 4 years now and have broken 2 brakes, 2 wheel cables, storage compartment door and unmbrella holder. All parts were sent to me at no charge and my cart is as good as new. No air tires and it has been pushed for over 200 games.

    Sun Mountain. Been knocked over, tipped over, run away down an enbankment, pheumatic tires never need pumping after the first top up in the spring. Just remember, don't trust the factory front wheel alighment. Last year the prices dropped after Christmas. I envy the guys that had the patience to stand in line for one at Chuck Brown's going-out-of-business sale.

    Push Cart

    Thanks everyone. I think I will wait for the after X-Mas sales and probably go for the Sun Mountain.

    It takes up 2.3 cubic feet when folded---the 3 wheel bag boy----not the real expensive one, 1.9 cubic feet in a long form

    Sun Mountain (V1), as stated above and I have had mine 3 years now.
    Total repairs, one brake cable (bought from a bike shop for $1) and one flat tire repair done using my bike patch repair kit. squawks, it is big in the trunk of the car.

    There is a new Bag Boy model out called the Compact 600 that looks pretty nice.

    However after pushing the sun mountain & the clicgear around golf town, I think I am going to upgrade my bag boy express to a clicgear this season.

    They are both good carts (I have the SM while a buddy has the clicgear)

    IMO the SM is the better of the two BUT the Clicgear does close up smaller for storage.

    Clic Cart is the best - we now own two. The best "side" feature ( besides being great on the course) is that is collapses into the smallest package of any of the carts.

    We have last year's models however.......from what I have seen of this year's model, the wheels no longer inflate........they are hard plastic. Something to consider......

    Have fun shopping!

    Went with the Clicgear, it was the only one that a stand bag could stay on without the legs flying everywhere, plus it was light and compact when you fold it up. Can't believe how much these things cost though.

    I couldn't get a used clic gear cart for less than 180 including the shipping so I bought a new one for 200 dollars with free shipping. It's a nice cart and can carry a lot of weight with no trouble. I still can't believe how small it folds up to.

    Well, I waited & looked for an upgrade from my bag boy, and have settled on a sweet black sunmountain V1. (thanks again mcgoo) & I will say it is good. Mine came with the seat, which at first I thought was an option I wouldn't use, but when I played with it, I realized the seat is pretty valuable. The clic gear is more modern looking, and folds up smaller, but I am really happy with my purchase.

    I have a Sun Mountain V1 and I love it (they've tweaked it a bit so the 'new' V1 has a couple of small changes), but if I were looking right now I would give serious considereation to the Clicgear 2.0. The wheels are wider and flatter, so it will travel better on soft ground and through the rough. That being said, the Sun Mountain is as solid as they come.
    When applying the Rules, you follow them line by line. You don't read between them.

    Sun Mountain is a very good cart. Just received my new Clickgear, designed and commercially introduced to the world by a student at BCIT in British Columbia. I am such a Nationalist I had to support. Will play with it for the first time tomorrow, but I am already missing my Sun Mountain seat. Usually the benches are at the white tees and, the long ball players I play with play blue. so I now I can't rest. And waiting for Lefty Lucas to go through his pre-shot routine on the fairway, without a seat to yoga on, is sure to add stokes to my rounds with him.

    I would ask Sakuraba for the seat back but Clickgear is not seat friendly (already phoned the distributer and complained). Anyway, if Sakuraba uses the seat he will be sitting on his ankles (like those folks do in Asia on TV, can't figure out how they do it without a Sun Mountain seat).

    Figured I'd rehash this thread and see if people were still happy with their clic gear or sun mountain carts. I'm going to get a 3 wheeler and am torn between the two models. I know I voted clic gear in the second post, but pushing them around, the sun mountain seems to have a better ride. For those of you with the clic gear 2.0 carts, how do you find them with the non-inflatable wheels. Do they still push fairly easily? The compact size of the folded up clic gear is a great feature, but if it's not as easy to push, I'll probably just go with the sun mountain. Thanks in advance.

    Oh, and if anyone has one to sell, that could help make up my mind....

    i
    have a clic 1.0, i LOVE it, love the wheels, i know many have said the new wheels are better, but i love the inflatable wheels, and really, only had to put air in them once last year, not like it is a big deal. i think it rolls smoother, and farther than the 2.0

    having said that, the clic, either version, IMHO is the best, the size it folds up to is just amazing, friends have the sun mountain, and although it is nice, it is no where near as nice,

    go for the clic
