The feedback from
the Members since we
purchased the buggies
has been extremely
positive. lt has extended
the golfing life of a
number of our less mobile
Members which in turn
has enabled them to
continue enjoying golf with
their friends.
Our Head Greenkeeper
is very happy with the
buggies as the damage
caused to the playing
surfaces is negligible and
is no more significant
than damage caused by a
pull trolley.
Finally, our Head
Professional is pleased
with the arrangements
as the buggies are
considerably easier to
store and maintain than
the two-seated
models.

Golf Buggy
I’ve had four golf buggies over the years, 3
wheelers, 4 wheelers and power caddies. But
nothing touches the i-motion i-m4 buggy, solid sturdy
machine, easy to handle, easy to maintain and clean.
I’ve tried them all. The I-motion i-m4 is the best yet.

Roadster
I am fortunate enough to live close to my golf course, so I drive my buggy there, play my game and drive back. I have
to say it is one of the best investments I have made, the i-m4 has not only extended my golf live, (as I suffer with my knees)
but it has made golfing a more enjoyable sport for me. The i-m4 is everything a golf buggy should be? It drives exceptionally
well with a choice of two speeds, its balance is second to none (no stabilizers needed here) and with its front chassis
suspension aligned to its rear seat suspension it allows me to ride over the course without the discomfort of feeling every
bump on the course. Fantastic!!!
I would recommend the i-m4 single seat golf buggy to anyone who has issues with walking the course, but also if you want
to “feel” and “look” the part! Then I have to say the i-m4 is for any golfer.
