Playing golf is hard enough without the struggle of lugging your golf bag around on your back.
This Kent company design and sell the perfect solution - their own innovative Golfstream VISION electric golf trolley.
In the past, it was seen as somewhat macho to carry a 22lbs golf bag around a four mile course, so an electric trolley was only seen as needed for older golfers.
These days it is recognised that muscle fatigue means that you will not play your best golf at the end of a round if you carry and younger golfers have discovered the benefits of owning a powered caddy.
Electric golf trolleys are battery-powered carts designed especially to carry your golf bag and the plethora of other golf equipment carried by today’s modern golfer.
You will never find a top golfer carrying their own clubs around the course and there is a very good reason for that!
Electric golf trolleys eliminate the need for golfers to carry their own clubs or hire a caddie, and requires much less effort than a manual push or pull trolley.
“Lugging around golf bags or even using push or pull golf trolleys can have a huge effect on your game, especially towards the latter parts of the round,” said company Managing Director Derek Richford who owns Golfstream in Ramsgate along with his colleagues.

“Doctors will tell you that the standard stance of carrying a golf bag over one shoulder is really bad for your back”
“It has also been proven that electric trolleys help golfers reduce fatigue and save energy that can actually help them save one or two extra shots especially towards the end of the round.”
Established in 2008 when Derek and his colleague Lee Stelfox moved away from PowaKaddy in Sittingbourne, Ramsgate-based Golfstream aims to give golfers quality products backed with the best customer service and affordable prices.
Golfstream’s headline product is their very own Golfstream Vision electric trolley which is quickly growing in stature and reputation due to its innovative features.
Those features include the very clever, super simple fold/unfold mechanism that means you can get your trolley unfolded and ready to use in under a second.
Add to this the unique paper like screen, super slick, high grip tyres and the fact that you can swap out the colours of your vision at any time and you have an absolute winner.
“We have made and sold many different types of electric golf trolleys but our new Golfstream Vision is the most ground-breaking trolley to be launched for many years,” he continued.
“Vision is a culmination of all of our experience and expertise as well as three years of hard work.”

“As a Kentish company, we export a lot of our products - and in particular Vision – we have fulfilled orders all over the world including the US, Iceland, Spain, Chile, South Africa, Ireland and Russia.”
Apart from the electric trolleys, Golfstream also have a wide selection of golf batteries as well as the most popular spare parts for many electric powered trolleys sold around the world.
“Electric trolleys have been around for decades and are becoming more and more popular.
“In fact, you can actually trace the origins of British electric trolleys back to Kent so it is very fitting that Golfstream are based in the heart of the electric golf trolley country in Ramsgate.”
