PowaKaddy has unveiled its 2026 electric trolley collection, reinforcing its position as the UK’s number one electric trolley brand with a range that delivers targeted innovation across every market segment.
Following a highly successful 2025, the new collection refines its established platforms while introducing tools designed to strengthen retail sell-through and elevate the on-course user experience.
At the centre of the 2026 strategy are 3 clearly defined trolley families — FX, CT, and RX — alongside the launch of the new Electric Trolley Selector tool, designed to simplify purchasing decisions for both consumers and retail partners.
A Structured Line-Up for Every Golfer
FX Range – Accessible Performance
The FX range continues to anchor the entry-to-mid segment, led by the UK’s best-selling electric trolley, the FX1.
Positioned as an accessible gateway into electric trolleys, the FX family balances reliability, ease of use, and value without compromising build quality. It remains a critical volume driver for retailers.
CT Range – Compact Without Compromise
The ultra-compact CT family remains one of the brand’s strongest differentiators. Alongside the long-standing CT6, widely regarded as one of the UK’s best-selling trolleys of the last 5 years, the range is headlined by the advanced CT10 GPS and flagship CT12 GPS.
The defining innovation across the premium CT models is PowaKaddy’s FULL HOLE View portrait GPS display technology.
Unlike traditional landscape screens, the portrait orientation mirrors the natural long-and-narrow geometry of a golf hole.
The result is improved visual continuity, greater situational awareness, and a more intuitive decision-making experience on the course.
RX Range – Remote-Controlled Performance
For golfers seeking hands-free operation, the RX family spans from the accessible RX Remote to the GPS-equipped RX10 GPS and RX12 GPS, incorporating 5” portrait display technology.
This segment addresses a growing demand for premium remote-control solutions without sacrificing integrated GPS functionality.
Spotlight: CT10 GPS XL Rental Trolley
Among the most commercially significant launches in the 2026 portfolio is the CT10 GPS XL Rental, which has already generated record pre-season demand from clubs and resorts.
Designed specifically for high-turnover rental environments, the model brings FULL HOLE View portrait touchscreen technology into the fleet category — a segment traditionally limited to more basic functionality.
Key Strengths
Premium GPS in a Rental Format
The 3.5” portrait touchscreen delivers full-hole visualisation, hazard data, and green views in a true-to-life orientation.
For visiting golfers, this bridges the gap between personal ownership and rental equipment, significantly elevating perceived value.
Operational Simplicity
Preloaded global course data, intuitive navigation, and no subscription requirements reduce friction for both operators and users.
Fast GPS lock times and a straightforward interface design make adoption easier, even for less tech-savvy golfers.
As part of the CT architecture, the Simple-2-Fold™ frame design ensures excellent space efficiency — critical for facilities with limited storage or high daily turnover.
XL Battery Option
The XL lithium battery offers extended playtime, particularly valuable during peak visitor seasons when back-to-back use is common.
Commercial ROI Appeal
Early demand suggests strong rental uptake. Premium GPS functionality enables clubs to justify higher rental pricing while enhancing the overall visitor experience.
Considerations for Rental Operators
While the CT10 GPS XL Rental represents a significant advancement, several practical considerations remain:
- Screen Size vs Exposure: At 3.5”, the display is compact but exposed in high-traffic rental environments. Protective protocols and maintenance planning will be important.
- Battery Rotation Management: Even with XL capacity, high-frequency deployment requires disciplined charging cycles.
- Feature Complexity: Advanced scoring and tracking features may require brief staff-led onboarding to ensure golfers maximise value.
None of these factors is a structural drawback; rather, they are operational variables that facilities must proactively manage.
Supporting Retail Through Availability and Decision Tools
A notable component of the 2026 strategy is operational resilience. PowaKaddy’s UK assembly model enables production flexibility aligned with real-time market demand, reducing the supply volatility that has affected the wider industry in recent years.
According to Sales Director Graeme Wigham, strong pre-book volumes have already translated into early-season despatches, with production ongoing to ensure continuous availability.
Complementing physical product innovation is the new Electric Trolley Selector tool.
Designed to demystify product differentiation across FX, CT, and RX families, the selector removes uncertainty from the purchase journey.
By clarifying feature sets and matching models to golfer needs, it enhances conversion rates and reduces lost sales due to indecision.
CEO David Catford emphasises that sustained demand in the electric trolley category requires both product leadership and reliable stock availability — a dual focus that underpins the 2026 strategy.
Market Positioning: Strategic, Not Incremental
The 2026 collection does not attempt radical reinvention. Instead, it reflects controlled, market-aware refinement:
- Clear segmentation across FX, CT, and RX
- Genuine GPS display innovation with FULL HOLE View
- Strengthened rental proposition via CT10 GPS XL Rental
- Improved retail conversion support through the Selector tool
- Operational readiness via UK assembly flexibility
In a category where differentiation can easily become superficial, PowaKaddy’s 2026 direction demonstrates coherent product architecture, supply chain confidence, and a sharpened understanding of both retail and rental economics.
For clubs and retailers preparing for the upcoming visitor season, the CT10 GPS XL Rental in particular stands out as a commercially astute addition — one that aligns enhanced golfer experience with tangible business return.
