The Sun Mountain Speed Cart V2 – 3 Wheeler Magic

In 1999 when Sun Mountain released their original speed cart, they did not realise that this would change the world of push carts forever. With the upgraded version now on the market, the Sun Mountain Speed Cart V2, the bar has been raised once more.

As with many sports, the world of golf contains the purists on one side and on the other, those that embrace change and technology. For the purists, the sport of golf involves walking and according to them, walking is an integral part of the sport. These gentlemen or ladies for that matter will never be caught dead in a motorised golf cart. Then there are those players that think that walking is the only way to really savour a golf course as zooming around in a golf buggy does not really give you time to take in all that the course has to offer. Another group of golfers think that walking actually helps their rhythm by keeping them focused on their game alone. Something that is impossible to do if you are sharing a golf buggy with a partner.

Since the invention of the push golf cart, people have been trying to design a better one. One that is sturdy but does not weigh a ton to have you feeling spent by the 5th hole. A cart that is sturdy enough to stand years of golf punishment. It also has to be easily manoeuvrable to tackle the various twists and turns and slopes of a golf course easily. Something that is steady so that you are not picking the contents of your golf bag up every other hole.

With the arrival of the V1 in 1999 Sun Mountain filled a void that was way over due and it was an instant success. With the amount of speed carts being rolled out of golf shops around the world, Sun Mountain knew that they were on a winner and have since upgraded the earlier model to the new and improved Sun Mountain Speed Cart V2 that you see today.

So how is the Speed cart V2 getting golfers to walk the course again?

  • As with its predecessor, the V2 comes fully assembled. Just click it open and you are ready to go.
  • At only 20 pounds, it is ranked on the lighter side of things.
  • Heavy duty frame to make the cart more durable.
  • Wider frame to allow the bag to sit lower hence further reducing the risk of having the cart topple over due to the centre of gravity being lower.
  • A mesh basket perfect when the weather is forever changing. Just store your wind jacket or sweater there for easy access if the need arises.
  • A hand break for when you are parked on steep slopes. It is cable operated and just blends in with the frame.
  • The handle is fully adjustable and ergonomic which allows you to find your perfect arm and shoulders position giving you total comfort.
  • The handle is also wider for an all together better grip and more control.
  • Large foam filled tires that require no maintenance.
  • The V2 also comes with a storage “glove box” that is a fully padded and is now deeper than in the V1 version. If you have a GPS or range finder, then that’s the perfect spot for them.
  • A ball marker, a holder for you score card, a drink bottle holder, a mesh head cover tray, plus pencil, tee and ball holders.
  • There is an umbrella holder that can be mounted on the handle to protect you and your bag from the elements and still allowing you to move along without holding the umbrella.
  • Smart brackets that are fully adjustable to “lock” your bag in place and to cater for almost any bag size or shape. No more straps to deal with although this was quite popular with golfers in the previous model.
  • The cart will fold in and out in seconds and will easily fit in a normal car trunk.

If you want a push cart that is light weight yet durable, easy to handle and one that will cater for almost all of a golfer’s needs, then you cannot really go past the Sun Mountain Speed Cart V2. No longer will you feel the need to lug a heavy bag on your back for 18 holes or need to build up your arm muscles just to pull a cart.

Golf is hard enough so why not make it a little easier and more enjoyable.
