What independent testing reveals
Golf Monthly found the M-Tech GPS’s downhill control reassuring on steep slopes and appreciated being able to fold and charge it with the battery in place. Its appeal is a refined powered-walking routine with useful mapping on the handle. This report covers M-Tech GPS, rather than the separate 2026 GPS Remote model.

Read the detailed findings and test limitations
The team liked its uphill traction and folding convenience. Advanced mapping in the report depended on a subscription; verify current access. No remote-control performance is inferred from this non-remote model’s test.
The report describes the model and software available during its original test. Check the version, current software access and supplied equipment before buying; historical prices are not current purchase terms.
The 30-second verdict
Motocaddy’s best push-button trolley, with premium finishes and full GPS. The M5 GPS does the main jobs for less; the M-TECH is for golfers who want the extras.
Buy it if
- You want GPS on the handle without remote control
- You like premium finishes and leather grips
- You want Wi-Fi updates and phone alerts
Look elsewhere if
- You want the best value GPS trolley (see the M5 GPS)
- You want remote control
- You want the most compact fold (see the PowaKaddy CT12 GPS)
Why this score
Our score: 94/100. Evidence-led editorial assessment drawing on manufacturer documentation, independent published testing, owner experience where useful, current equipment market information and comparative analysis. The score is our buying judgement, not a measured performance margin.
