My Personal Review of the Alphard Club Booster V2

After recently joining the push cart mafia (check reddit for reference), I saw something a couple of other golfers on the course were using: a motorized push cart. When I asked them about it, I found out they actually weren’t using a motorized push cart, but they were using an after-market attachment that motorizes an existing push cart. Being that the prices of a dedicated push cart seemed crazy (easily $1200+), and not really wanting to take up more garage space for another push cart, I decided to look into it.

I actually purchased the Rovic RV1S push cart due in part with how it works with this push cart attachment. Basically the way that it works is that replace the back wheels of your existing push cart with this device, and it comes with a remote control and behaves like a normal motorized push cart would. It’s called the Alphard Club Booster V2Pro, and it retails for $800. However, I was able to get it on sale for Cyber Monday and there was a pretty substantial discount.

When I received this in the mail, I had some questions on installation and compatibility. As mentioned earlier, I bought the Rovic RV1s push cart specifically because it has a front wheel that swivels and apparently that is ideal for the Alphard Club Booster in that it helps save battery life. I had to remove the two rear wheels along with the brake assembly and installed the brackets that came with the Club Booster. It wasn’t too hard except for a couple of things. First, the bolts they ship with strip really easily so be really careful to use the correct sized screwdriver and definitely do it by hand rather than using a drill driver. Secondly, I actually have a seat attachment installed on my Rv1S, which also involved replacing one of the rear brackets. I was able to attach the new brackets for the Club Booster along with the bracket required for the seat attachment, but it required a longer machine bolt that did not ship with the Club Booster. Luckily I have a box of different sized bolts so I was able to use one that I had that was the perfect length. The disappointing thing was that I had emailed Alphard previous to purchasing the item asking them if I would be able to install the bracket being that I had a seat attachment and they said I could. They didn’t mention that I would require a longer bolt and if I didn’t have one on-hand, I would have been pretty annoyed. Overall, installation took longer than I’d like to admit. Probably 45 minutes or so. It also doesn’t come with great directions so that didn’t help. But if I could do it, you could do it. And if I didn’t have the bracket for the seat attachment, it would have been a 15-20 minute installation.

I took the push cart to a course I haven’t played yet, and it was maybe one of the longest I’ve played in a while, in terms of distance to walk the course. There was also lots of elevation changes. Basically a lot of factors that would really put my new setup to the test. My experience is that the remote control is very intuitive to use, the anti-tip wheels were very helpful for hills, and I overally really enjoyed the experience. After the round, I saw that I had about 60% battery life left, which was nice to see.

Overall, I’m pretty happy with my purchase and very satisfied with this new setup. If you’re part of the push cart mafia, I highly suggest you look into the Alphard Club Booster V2Pro. My final grade is a 9.5/10.
