PowaKaddy is aiming to raise the bar for remote-controlled performance with the launch of its RX Remote range.
Engineered to provide intuitive control, effortless usability and seamless integration between manual and remote use, the RX Remote range is billed as PowaKaddy’s most intelligent and user-friendly remote-controlled collection to-date.
The RX Remote range – comprising the RX, RX10 GPS and RX12 GPS – offers three distinct models that share the same premium frame, powerful drive system and ergonomic design, while scaling in overall capability. Every RX trolley features the new slimline soft-touch remote handset, offering intuitive control at the touch of a button and giving the user the freedom to enjoy the golf course at their own pace.
Further enhancing the performance of the range is Slope Traverse Assist – a technology that helps maintain direction of travel across uneven ground when in remote mode. Smooth, responsive manoeuvring is ensured by a swivel front wheel, while the chassis incorporates PowaKaddy’s signature PowaFrame design, high-traction all-terrain wheels, and the XL-Plus lithium battery as standard. This larger capacity battery supports the longer travel distances common with remote use, while still delivering energy efficiency thanks to dual motors.
The RX range also offers a seamless transition between remote and manual operation. The intuitive dial control on the handle allows golfers to instantly take control in manual mode, deactivating slope correction for easier steering. Speed settings have also been refined, with manual mode offering incremental adjustments for matching walking pace, while remote mode provides quicker speed changes to get moving with minimal input. The fourth anti-tip wheel has been positioned to enhance stability on slopes while avoiding interference with golfers’ natural strides.
The entry-level RX trolley is the ideal option for those seeking a pure remote-controlled experience without GPS – offering smooth performance, a compact folding frame and effortless usability.
The RX10 GPS features an integrated 3.5ins portrait touchscreen complete with PowaKaddy’s Full Hole View display, which delivers auto-hole advance, Active Green View, and Drop Flag Technology across more than 40,000 preloaded courses.
Finally, the flagship RX12 GPS features a world-first 5ins HD portrait touchscreen GPS on a remote trolley. The RX12 GPS’ dedicated 1.1GHz processor, integrated graphics GPU, Full Hole View, and pinch-to-zoom and auto-zoom features provide a fully immersive visual and data-driven experience. It also delivers smartphone notifications and supports Wi-Fi updates.
David Catford, CEO of PowaKaddy, said: “As demand continues to grow, we know that golfers expect more from a remote-control trolley – not just tech for tech’s sake, but truly user-friendly innovative design. With the RX range, we’ve made sure that remote control is intuitive and smooth, while also ensuring golfers can comfortably use the trolley in manual mode when required. That dual-purpose performance, combined with best-in-class design and intelligent features, makes the RX series a standout in the increasingly popular remote-control category.”
