From First Golf Carts to the G5 Follow Me Trolley
Golf carts have indeed come a long way—from the first electric carts in the 1930s to today’s G5 follow me golf trolleys that use radar and AI to autonomously follow players across the course.
But fast-forward to 2025, and we’re talking radar, AI, and gyroscopes: the Follow Me Golf Trolley is now a tech-enabled assistant that autonomously tracks players across fairways. The result? Hands-free convenience that keeps pros in rhythm and conserves energy over 18 holes.

Why Pros Are Swapping Caddies for Electric Assistants
Increasingly, even high-level golfers are choosing electric Follow Me Golf Trolleys over traditional caddies—especially during practice rounds or non-PGA competitions.
One standout example: English pro Tyrrell Hatton was photographed using a Stewart Golf Q Follow during practice. He said:
“It’s just nice to go out and practice on my own without needing someone else to help manage my gear.”
“No more paying $100 a day for a caddie… I’ve saved over $2,000 this season.”
Plus, collegiate programs—like those at Oregon and Wake Forest—are deploying electric trolleys to maintain tempo on 36-hole days.

These aren’t clunky machines—they fold to about 60 × 40 × 30 cm and fit in most car trunks. The G5 Follow Me Trolley features a lightweight aluminum frame that’s portable yet rugged.
Remote vs. Follow Mode: The Future Is Clear
Remote-controlled trolleys had their moment—until follow systems took over. Switching from “push” to “hands-free” is like upgrading from a flip phone to a smartphone.
Today’s models—especially Icango G5—allow seamless switching between manual, remote, and follow modes.

Private and semi-private golf clubs are upgrading to follow-me fleets—some report 20%+ rental revenue boosts from tech-savvy younger golfers. Lower maintenance and modular design sweeten the deal.
Walking + Wellness = Win-Win Performance
Walking 18 holes burns 700–900 calories (USGA). Electric trolleys let golfers enjoy that workout—without hauling their gear. The result: better health, better play.
