Some of the electric golf carts we\u2019ve tested have felt pretty cheaply built, which I wasn\u2019t too happy about. That being said, how did the Bat-Caddy stack up?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short,&nbsp;<strong>this is one of my favorite \u201cmiddle of the range\u201d electric carts and would definitely recommend it. It\u2019s not perfect by any means but it\u2019s an improvement over the older X3R and I found it a lot better than some of its competitors. If you\u2019re in the market and don\u2019t want to spend a fortune, this could be your solution.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we tested the cart (and anything else) we look at how it actually performed, how the quality was, and how it was priced. We only tend to pass things that check all 3 boxes. If that\u2019s all the info you needed then great, but continue reading if you want a more detailed review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bat-Caddy X8R Review<\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube\"><div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"Bat Caddy X8R Review - An HONEST Opinion\" style=\"width:853px;max-width:100%;margin:5px auto;\"><div class=\"lyMe hidef\" id=\"WYL_0aNhHGqo2NE\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/outofboundsgolf.co\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F0aNhHGqo2NE%2Fmaxresdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0aNhHGqo2NE\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT5M11S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2018-11-16T23:04:24Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_0aNhHGqo2NE\" data-src=\"https:\/\/outofboundsgolf.co\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F0aNhHGqo2NE%2Fmaxresdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Bat Caddy X8R Review - An HONEST Opinion<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/0aNhHGqo2NE\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/outofboundsgolf.co\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F0aNhHGqo2NE%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"Bat Caddy X8R Review - An HONEST Opinion\" width=\"853\" height=\"460\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"This video will review the Bat-Caddy X8R electric golf cart.

No, it doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q. Does it come with rear tip wheels?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A.
