It\u2019s not the highest priced cart out there but it is more expensive than some of the other electric trolleys I\u2019ve tried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was supposed to be about&nbsp;<strong>25% smaller<\/strong>&nbsp;when folded and lighter (26 lb frame) as well compared to others only the market. This was a big plus for me and was one of the reasons I was interested in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It comes with a&nbsp;<strong>24v lithium battery<\/strong>&nbsp;(most come with a 12v) and also comes in an 18 or 36 hole option (I don\u2019t mind charging it after every round so I went with the 18 holes). Here\u2019s a demo video:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Was The Build Quality?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/outofboundsgolf.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/5_Blog-Post-Pic-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4635\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve tried and tested quite a few of these electric pushcarts and I\u2019ll definitely say that the&nbsp;<strong>X5 is built well<\/strong>. Some of the other carts I\u2019ve looked at didn\u2019t feel all that sturdy and almost felt like you\u2019d break it if you dropped it. That wasn\u2019t the case with the X5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We haven\u2019t had it for too long yet but it seems to be&nbsp;<strong>strong<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>sturdy<\/strong>, and something that\u2019ll last for years (otherwise, there\u2019s really no point in buying one).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<strong>battery<\/strong>&nbsp;put out a good amount of power and lasted a full round no problem (you can upgrade to a 36 hole cart). The standard X5 wouldn\u2019t be able to last 2 full rounds but it doesn\u2019t take all that long to charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you normally golf on courses with a lot of hills, this will be for you (the X5 is for hills while the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/outofboundsgolf.co\/golf-cart\/mgi-zip-x3\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MGI Zip X3<\/a>&nbsp;is for flatter courses). Now the most important question\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Did It Perform?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/outofboundsgolf.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/4_Blog-Post-Pic-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4634\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It took a little bit of time to get fully used to the X5, but after a while, I was pretty impressed with it. All you can really ask for is that it gets up hills no problem and the battery lasts a full round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I really like the&nbsp;<strong>downhill<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>speed<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>control<\/strong>, which slowed the cart down on hills. A lot of the courses in my area get pretty wet and slippery and this feature really helps out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The electric&nbsp;<strong>parking<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>brake<\/strong>&nbsp;was also cool and it stopped the cart on pretty much any hill. Some carts don\u2019t have this and some of them actually don\u2019t stop that well if you\u2019re on a steep hill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The front wheel can be&nbsp;<strong>locked or unlocked<\/strong>&nbsp;(which was super useful) and the wheels have held up nicely so far. Not all electric carts have this feature but it is something that can come in handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>MGI Zip X5 Specs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure id=\"tablepress-28\" class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th><strong>Product<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>MGI Zip X5<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Open Size<\/td><td>31 x 23 x 41 inches<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Closed Size<\/td><td>28 x 18.5 x 16.5 inches<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Wheels<\/td><td>3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Storage Console<\/td><td>No (Extra)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Cup Holder<\/td><td>No (Extra)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Umbrella Holder<\/td><td>No (Extra)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Weight<\/td><td>31 Lbs<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Electric Brake<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>4th Wheel<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Speed Control<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Distance Function<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Battery<\/td><td>18\/36 Hole Option<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pros<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The quality seems to be great and it was a lot more sturdy than other carts.<\/li><li>It had plenty of power to get up any hill.<\/li><li>After playing around with it for 30 minutes, I found it pretty simple and straightforward to set up and use.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The price is pretty expensive (but there are still more expensive options).<\/li><li>There is no remote but you can set a distance and it\u2019ll follow and stop.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/outofboundsgolf.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/3_Blog-Post-Pic-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4633\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q.
