Is this trolley really worth £3,686?
We got our hands on the Jucad Drive SL Travel ex 2.0 electric trolley, which all in costs £3,686. Jucad’s top-spec power trolley is made from titanium and it includes a remote control and transport bag. But does it perform?
Features
Where this trolley sets itself apart is the design of the frame – both in terms of how it is assembled and where the electronics are housed. The trolley actually breaks down into multiple parts, which means it takes up less space in transit than most others, and the pieces can be moved around to cater for the space available. It also gives golfers the option to pack the various parts in a golf travel bag, or the one included in the ex package, to be taken abroad to use.
The electronics are housed within the axle of the frame, while the battery is stored in your bag and connects to the trolley via an external cable. This admittedly looks a little untidy, and while the battery is compact and lightweight, it takes up room in your bag that you might need for other items.
Ease of use
●
With practice, the frame parts are easy to put together. The remote control function works very well and the handle height is adjustable on a much larger range than we are used to.
Verdict
It’s tough to justify the ultra-premium price, but we really liked using the Jucad. It was surprisingly sturdy and is truly unique in its elegant, minimalist design, which allows for it to be broken down and packed up for use abroad.
