2016 Golf Push Carts

March 8, 2016 by Steve

The 2016 Sun Mountain line-up of new golf push/pull carts includes: Reflex^TM, Speed Cart V1 Sport, MC3 Micro-Cart, Combo Cart and a collection of golf push cart accessories and replacement parts.

Reflex is the newest golf push cart from Sun Mountain. Reflex folds and opens easier, has a smaller folded footprint and weighs less than other golf carts. With a new, innovative folding process, Reflex is arguably the easiest cart on the market to fold and unfold. At 25” x 15” x 11” when folded and only 17 lbs., Reflex might fold the smallest and be the lightest push cart, too. The deluxe accessory console includes a scorecard holder, two padded valuables trays, golf ball storage, and a beverage holder.

The newest version of Sun Mountain’s category-changing Speed Cart golf push cart, the V1 Sport combines the most popular features of past Speed Cart models with new colors and graphics. Plus, it folds and unfolds easier than ever, has an improved brake system, and mag wheels.

Speed Cart V1 Sport features a quick-release E-Z Latch System to allow easier folding, unfolding and handle height adjustment; maintenance-free synthetic wheels with solid foam tires; and a new pin brake system, which replaces the former caliper brake, to securely lock the wheels in place. The V1 Sport offers an accessories tray with a scorecard holder, drink holder and a mesh headcover tray. V1 Sport weighs just over 17 lbs and folds to 37” x 16” x 13”.

Sun Mountain Combo cart is a golf push cart and golf bag in one; offering convenience, stability, and durability. Combo folds for storage and opens easily for use. When folded, the Combo cart fits into a car trunk flat, and can also be stored vertically in a clubroom; occupying about half of the space of a separate cart and bag. When it’s time to hit the course; simply swing the front wheel into place, release the rear wheels, and set the handle height. When on the course, Combo offers the added bonus of a built-in seat that stores flat to the bag when not in use and then folds down for a secure and comfortable seat including a back pad.

MC3 Micro-Cart is Sun Mountain’s newest entry into the four wheel golf push cart market. MC3 is compact and lightweight, folds in two simple steps and has a small folded footprint so it’s easy to pack in and out of your car. The most notable difference between the MC3 and past Sun Mountain Micro-Cart golf push carts is the larger diameter tires that make this cart noticeably easier to push, especially in taller grass.

The MC3 is light at just under 17 lbs., the four wheels come standard with low maintenance solid foam tires and the front axle is adjustable, so the space between the front wheels can be widened to accommodate larger golf bags. MC3 folded size is 26.5″ X 14.5″ X 13.5″.

Sun Mountain now also has a collection of golf push/pull cart accessories to round-out the offerings. The latest accessories are cart covers that offer a convenient way to store and transport golf push carts. There’s a cover specific to the three-wheeled Speed Cart^® and a cover that fits the four-wheeled Micro-Cart^® and the new Reflex^® cart. The new covers join a wide collection of other push cart accessories including: storage bags, cooler bags, seats, sand/seed mix bottles, adjustable umbrella holders, and UV and rain umbrellas.

New for 2014 Speed Cart V1 Sport Golf Push Cart

December 3, 2013 by Steve

The Sun Mountain Speed Cart® golf push cart is one of the most revolutionary products in golf. Three-wheeled, ergonomically efficient folding push carts did not exist prior to Sun Mountain’s invention of Speed Cart in 1999.

The beauty of a push a cart versus the old-fashioned pull cart is that the ergonomic and adjustable handle positions arms and shoulders in their most natural position and pushing takes advantage of the forward momentum of walking.

With the new E-Z Latch System, Speed Cart’s patented design folds and unfolds easier than ever, and allows simple handle height adjustment.

The adjustable brackets secure the bag without straps.

The umbrella straps hold a closed umbrella while the umbrella mount secures an open umbrella to shield you from rain or sun.

The accessories tray includes a bungee score card holder, drink holder and a mesh headcover tray.

The handle-mounted hand brake includes a new pin system to more securely lock the wheels in place.

New synthetic wheels with sealed precision ball bearings and solid foam tires ensure an easy roll and require no maintenance.
