MGI Ai Navigator GPS+ Buggy - Black

First, for most people this is a big purchase, be sure before you actually order one because that little note saying that you can return it is only if there's a defect and they approve the return not because you changed your mind. Plus -looks just fantastic - new smaller remote -really nice folding system, super easy and fits in sedan trunk -bright GPS screen - battery life superb -easy to clean -accessories are nicely designed -sturdy Bad - bit silly giving the impression that AI is involved. The only smart feature is the gyroscope for going downhill and side hills. - not a complaint but I would make the power button on the remote white or red so you can visually see it a little bit easier - no matter where your handle is the umbrella holder is way too low. You will be spending money on their extension for it - they mentioned to charge the battery after every round but My first round on a 6500 yd course with many hills and wet only used 20% of the battery. My advice, ask a friend if you can try their MGI cart. Not for 10 ft use it for an entire hole or two. Also remember that if you're in a wet climate like I am the only thing the umbrella will be protecting now is your bag not you. For the most part you're going to be walking in the rain so either carrying a second umbrella all the time or making a choice what stays a bit dry, you or the cart. Also if you do buy one test it out thoroughly in your yard or something prior to your first round. While you are doing this run the auto trimming feature. Hold the manual speed dial on the trip down for 5 seconds, run the trimming option. Make sure you have at least 20 feet ahead of the cart. Don't worry it doesn't take off or anything. Run it 3 times. Made a big difference after for me. Wish I did it before I took it out the first time. Take the few reviews on YouTube with a grain of salt, these guys are more promoters than reviewers.

It arrived well packaged in a single box. The quick start instructions were easy to follow and assembly was easy for a one person assembly. It found the wifi and downloaded and uploaded information as it should. On the golf course, it tracked slightly to the left. This was quickly corrected as per the instructions. Using it on a course that has many hills, I found that even on hillsides it would track straight. It would also maintain the set speed even when traveling down hill. On some of the steeper uphill slopes, it did slip some as it tilted back on the retractable rear wheel. This was especially true if there was any moisture from dew or rain on the grass. I found that assisting it with a slight push helped here. It did not require any strength to do this, but only a minimal assistance. The functions were easy to use. Saving the round was a bit of a challenge but now that I have it figured out, it has become easier. Battery life after 18 holes on this hilly course was 90% and the remote was 85%. When engaging the drive, it begins on speed "4". I have found that it is comfortable to walk with it at speed "8" to "10". Speed increases are in increments of 2. When in reverse, there is only one speed and it typically does not move in a straight line in reverse but follows the topography. You should use the reverse only in short increments. Overall, I would give this a 10 out of 10 for my satisfaction with the cart.

I previously had an MGI Zip Navigator that decided to take a swim. I had it a couple of years and never had an issue with it, so decided to replace it with the newer AI version. As much as I liked my previous cart, this one is much better. It appears to fold up into a smaller package, and is much easier to fold/unfold. The GPS screen is accurate on the courses I’ve played (as verified by a Garmin GPS watch), and the accessories from my prior cart fit this cart (seat, drink holder, etc.). The newer remote takes a little getting used to, but all is good with this very well built cart. Now, if only it had a geofencing, it would be exceptional. A couple of other notes. The software works great on my iPhone, and an earlier review indicating a noisy motor appears to be a result of the 5th wheel not being unfolded. It lies under the motor and will make noises while the cart is in motion if not deployed.

I belong to a private golf club and store my clubs there. The college kids have great great difficulty opening the cart, so the kids just put the cart out and I open it. I had the MGI Zip no problem. I am mechanically inclined and still have problems. No geo fencing or following. Mapping is intermittent and every once in awhile an exclamation mark will appear and disable the cart. Took two weeks to figure out what was wrong but given a 6 or 7 step process to get cart moving. Thankfully I downloaded the procedures on my phone. I am a housebuilder and rebuild old cars. This cart is a disaster and tried to return it without success. I play on a very flat course and do not get three rounds of golf.

Returning the first one, hopefully the second one will not have the same issues. It has a problem folding closed immediately after a round is played. Have needed to remove the wheels to be able to fit in trunk unfolded to take home from the course. After a few hours tried to fold closed again and it closed easily. Only happens after it has been working for a few hours. Contacted customer support of MGI and the only reply was to email me a promotion video that shows it folds. Concerned with what happens after the Amazon return window passes and any issues arise in the future. Big hassle returning item with Seller (Sport +), they tried to retain a 50% restocking fee. Yes, 50%. Had to contact Amazon on 3 separate occasions and received the full refund for the return. Be very wary of purchasing from Sport +
