How to maintain your electric golf trolley during winter?

Has your electric golf trolley been in hiding since winter hit?

You could be forgiven for thinking that your electric golf trolley is instantly made redundant once the weather turns colder and the days grow shorter, but this isn’t quite the case.

Read on to find our top tips for keeping your electric golf trolley running smoothly during the chilly months.

Yes, you can still use your electric golf trolley during winter

Although many will tell you otherwise, electric golf trolleys can be used in all weather, including the wet and cold we’re so used to here in the UK.

Yes, there are certain steps you should take to ensure the long and healthy life of your electric golf trolley during the winter months, but you should never be convinced that using it during winter will be detrimental to its survival. It won’t.

And today we’re taking you through a few of the key ways you can ensure it performs this winter, and for many to come.

Add winter wheels

So many golfers continue to use their electric golf trolleys during wet, cold or arduous conditions as if it was just another summers day. This is one fast-track way of ruining your electric golf trolley.

When conditions change, it makes sense that your golf trolley will need a little extra support, and winter wheels offer just that.

Simple in nature, but incredibly effective, these durable accessories are made from lightweight rubber and act as sleeves for your trolley wheels, giving them protection from the elements and most importantly, extra grip.

Keep it stored properly

Storing your electric golf trolley is important all the time, not just during winter – but it goes without saying that the colder months do require a little extra care.

So, keep your trolley stored indoors at all times. That means no more leaving it in the boot of your car. The cold temperatures can have a detrimental impact on an exposed battery, so keeping it safe and warm inside, or in your garage, is important.

Give it a good once over

Although plenty of people still take to the green during winter, it is usually much less regular than during summer, so now is the perfect time to give your electric golf trolley a thorough MOT.

Checking the metalwork for rust, giving it a top to toe clean (don’t neglect those axels!) and ensuring the tyres have the right amount of air in are all important things you can do to maintain your trolley during winter where it may not get as much love as usual.

Charge your battery

Undoubtedly, if you’re using your golf trolley regularly throughout winter you will need to keep on top of charging it. But did you know you will need to charge your battery if your trolley has been gathering dust over winter?

Yes, it is important that you ensure your trolley’s battery has been fully charged if it hasn’t been used for a while, so don’t forget that step! And there you have it, these small but vital steps will help your electric golf trolley survive winter, no problem, and if you are continuing to enjoy the golf during the dark, chilly days – remember to take care of your own health too by properly wrapping up!
