9.00am 1st March 2022 - New Products

PowaKaddy‘s new CT8 electric trolley, which boasts a fully-integrated GPS, accessible via an all-new 3.5-inch, full-colour touch screen display, is being billed as ‘the smallest, most intelligent, ultra-compact GPS golf trolley in the world’. 

The all-new CT8 GPS is the latest addition to PowaKaddy’s compact range, following the success of the CT6, which was the UK’s best-selling compact trolley in 2020 and 2021 (Source: Golf Datatech (Combined channel – Value).

Users can access a pre-loaded bank of over 40,000 golf courses worldwide, with no annual fees or subscriptions needed, while PowaKaddy’s simple 2-Fold system allows the CT8 GPS to fold 20% smaller than the previous C2i model, and 35% smaller than its nearest competitor.

In addition, the CT8 GPS’s new widescreen display is the largest seen on a PowaKaddy compact trolley to date and offers  features such as a scorecard, stroke index information (for men and women), Active Green View showing golfers the green shape of the hole they are on, and Drop Flag technology that gives accurate and precise distance measurement to any pin position.

PowaKaddy CEO David Catford said: “The compact range has been a huge success since it was initially launched in 2017, and we’re now extremely proud to be unveiling the latest innovation within that range; the CT8 GPS. The new CT8 GPS is a fantastic achievement for us, as we are always looking to make improvements to our world-leading range of trolleys.

“This new upgrade highlights the trailblazing ethos of our engineering team, and it’s quite incredible that they’ve squeezed such a host of premium features into the smallest electric golf trolley in the world. We’re very much looking forward to rolling this out for consumers, and having seen pre-orders from our valued retail partners, we anticipate the CT8 GPS to be big hit.”

James O’Shea, Marketing Director at PowaKaddy, added: “We’re delighted to be launching the CT8 GPS, an ultra-compact high-performance trolley that we’re anticipating being hugely successful in 2022. The CT8 GPS highlights the innovation and evolution that we are experiencing at PowaKaddy, and we’re looking forward to rolling out the 2022 PowaKaddy range.”
