I'll be honest. When I initially saw the MGI E-Boost at the 2026 PGA Show in January, I thought it was just another pushcart. Three wheels, clean lines, compact fold. Nothing I hadn't seen before. Then someone handed me the handle, told me to press a button, and the thing started driving itself forward like it had somewhere to be. That's the moment I realized this wasn't just a pushcart. It's a pushcart with a hidden 240W brushless motor, and it completely alters the equation for anyone who walks the course.
Out of the box (well, out of the shipping carton), the E-Boost looks sharp. I tested the matte black version, and it has that understated, premium aesthetic that doesn't scream "look at my gadget" but quietly says "I know what I'm doing." The frame is clean, the lines are purposeful, and when it's folded down to its 30.5" × 17.4" × 12.6" footprint, it's genuinely compact. At 21.6 lbs without the battery, or 25 lbs with it, this thing is lighter than some of the non-motorized carts I've tested over the years. My initial impression? MGI found a way to hide electric caddy functionality inside something that looks and feels like a traditional pushcart, and that's a neat trick.
Upgrade your game with the MGI E-Boost Pushcart. Featuring advanced electric power assist, it tackles hills effortlessly while keeping you fresh. Lightweight, durable, and built for performance.
Let's talk about the feature that makes this cart fundamentally different from every other pushcart I've reviewed: the hidden motor. I've tested full electric caddies, the remote-controlled ones that follow you around the course like an obedient robot. They're great, but they're also heavy, expensive (often $1,200+), and they change the entire walking experience. You're no longer pushing a cart; you're babysitting a machine. The E-Boost takes a completely different approach, and I think it's brilliant.
The 240W brushless motor is tucked away inside the frame, powering the rear wheels. When you're pushing the cart normally, across flat fairways, through the parking lot, wherever, you'd never know it was there. It feels like a regular pushcart. Lightweight, responsive, easy to steer. But then you hit that long uphill climb on the 7th hole, the one that always makes your legs burn, and you press the button on the multifunction handle. Suddenly, the cart is helping you. It's not pulling away from you or lurching forward awkwardly. It's just... assisting. Like an invisible hand on the back of the cart, sharing the load.
The variable speed control is what makes this feel natural rather than gimmicky. You can dial it in so the motor matches your walking pace, which means you're still in control. You're still pushing. You're still walking. You just don't feel like you need to sit down when you reach the green. I tested this on a course with some genuinely punishing elevation changes, the kind where you see guys in their 40s stopping halfway up to catch their breath, and the difference was notable. My legs felt fresher on the back nine than they usually do on the front.
The "brushless" part matters too, by the way. This motor is whisper-quiet. I had a playing partner who didn't even realize the motor was engaged until I told him. No whirring, no humming, no mechanical noise to interrupt your pre-shot routine or anyone else's round. That's a detail that sounds small but matters a lot when you're actually out there.
One more thing worth mentioning: the shift between push, pull, and power modes is seamless. There's no changing gears, no complicated menu to steer through. You push when you want to push, you engage the motor when you need it, and if for some reason you want to pull the cart behind you (I did this a couple of times on tight paths), it accommodates that too. Three modes, zero friction between them.
The Click & Go 225Wh lithium battery is rated for up to 14 holes of powered operation, and I need to unpack that number because it's both impressive and slightly misleading. Let me explain.
If you're using the motor on every single hole, full engagement, steep hills and flat stretches alike, you're going to get about 14 holes before the battery starts tapering off. That's real-world testing, not manufacturer optimism. I ran it hard on purpose during one round, engaging the motor on flat ground where I didn't really need it, and I noticed the power starting to fade around hole 13. So the 14-hole claim checks out, but it does mean you might not have full power for a complete 18 if you're leaning on the motor constantly.
Here's the thing, though: that's not how you'd actually use this cart. The E-Boost is designed for on-demand power; you engage it when you need it and push normally when you don't. When I used it the way it's intended (motor on the hills, push on the flats), I easily got through 18 holes with battery to spare. I'd estimate I had 20-25% left after a full round of smart usage. That's more than adequate.
The Click & Go system itself deserves a mention. The battery clicks into the frame quickly and securely, and removing it is just as easy. This matters because you'll want to charge it between rounds, and nobody wants to wrestle with a battery mount when they're tired after 18 holes. I also appreciate that MGI designed the cart to function perfectly as a standard pushcart even without the battery installed. If you forget to charge it or just don't feel like bringing the extra 3.4 lbs, you still have a fully capable three-wheel pushcart. That versatility is a smart design choice. It's also worth noting that MGI offers a fireproof charging box as a compatible accessory, which is a thoughtful safety consideration for those storing and charging lithium batteries at home.
Would I love to see a battery that covers a full 18 holes under constant motor use? Absolutely. But given the weight constraints and the price point, I think MGI struck a reasonable balance here. Just remember to use the motor strategically, not indiscriminately.
I've owned pushcarts that fold down to roughly the size of a small refrigerator. I've also owned ones that technically fold but require an engineering degree and three YouTube tutorials to collapse properly. The E-Boost gets this right in a way that genuinely impressed me.
The compact fold, 30.5" × 17.4" × 12.6", is legitimately compact. But the real trick is the reversible rear wheels. You detach them, flip them around so they nest against the frame, and suddenly, this cart takes up appreciably less space in your trunk. I drive a mid-size SUV, and with the wheels reversed, I could fit the E-Boost alongside my golf bag, a cooler, and still close the hatch without performing origami on my belongings. For anyone who's ever played the "will this fit in my car" game with a pushcart, this is a meaningful upgrade.
At 21.6 lbs without the battery, lifting the E-Boost in and out of my trunk was effortless. I've tested pushcarts that weigh 18-19 lbs and somehow feel heavier because the weight is distributed poorly. The E-Boost's weight distribution is balanced, which makes it easy to grab and go. Even at 25 lbs with the battery attached, it's lighter than several non-motorized carts I've used (looking at you, certain "premium" four-wheel models that somehow weigh 27 lbs and don't have a motor at all).
Setup is fast, too. Unfold, snap the wheels on, click the battery in, and you're walking to the first tee. I timed myself after a few rounds of practice and had it ready in under 90 seconds. Tear-down was about the same. When you're in the parking lot and your buddies are already heading to the clubhouse for post-round drinks, speed matters.
I've seen too many carts (motorized and otherwise) that treat storage as an afterthought, one sad cup holder and a bungee cord. The E-Boost doesn't go overboard with accessories, but what it includes is thoughtful and functional.
The scorecard holder is integrated into the design rather than clipped on as a flimsy add-on. It keeps your card visible and accessible without flapping around in the wind. The two built-in golf ball holders are a small touch that I use more than I'd like to admit, I always have a couple of spare balls within arm's reach, and not having to dig through my bag pocket saves time and frustration (especially on holes where water comes into play and my confidence in my tee shot is, shall we say, measured).
The four accessory stations are where things get interesting. These are mounting points where you can attach additional accessories, think rangefinder holders, umbrella mounts, cooler bags, or whatever MGI or third-party manufacturers develop for the platform. I didn't have any add-on accessories during my testing, but the stations are clearly designed with expandability in mind. For a cart at this price point, having four stations rather than one or two shows that MGI is thinking about long-term usability.
Then there's the USB charging port. I know, I know, "Do you really need to charge your phone on the golf course?" Yes. Yes, I do. Between my GPS app, the occasional photo, and the group chat that never stops buzzing, my phone battery doesn't always make it through 18 holes. Having a USB port powered by the cart's battery means I can top off my phone without carrying a separate power bank. It's a convenience feature, not a necessity, but it's the kind of thing that makes you appreciate the aggregate design philosophy. MGI thought about the modern golfer's actual needs, not just the golf-specific ones.
The multifunction handle serves as the command center for everything: motor control, speed adjustment, and access to features. It's intuitive enough that I figured it out without reading the manual (though I did eventually read it, like a responsible reviewer). The controls fall naturally under your hands while pushing, so engaging or disengaging the motor never requires you to stop, look down, or fumble with buttons. The lockable front wheel also adds an extra layer of stability on uneven terrain, which I found particularly useful when parked on sloped areas around greens.

Yes, the MGI E-Boost Pushcart comes with a limited 24-month manufacturer's warranty from your date of purchase. It covers your buggy, battery, and charger against defects in materials or workmanship. You'll get free repairs or replacements through an authorized MGI service centre. Keep in mind, SLA batteries and chargers only carry a 12-month warranty. You'll need proof of purchase to register and file any claims.
You can purchase replacement batteries for the MGI E-Boost from several sources. MGI Golf's official website sells 24V lithium batteries in 250Wh ($549 AUD) and 299Wh options. Third-party retailers like FTH Power, Replacement Battery Store, and Battery Sharks offer compatible alternatives, including Bright Way 12V 35Ah batteries starting at $55.49. Motogolf is an authorized MGI dealer carrying accessories, and the US MGI site ships orders over $116 for free.
You can't assume the MGI E-Boost is allowed on every golf course. While there aren't any specific bans noted, course policies vary. Most courses treat it as an assisted pushcart, but some may have restrictions on partial electric or motorized equipment. You should always check with the course beforehand to confirm their policy. Its whisper-quiet motor and compact design do help it meet most course compatibility standards.
You can expect your MGI E-Boost Pushcart to arrive within 6-8 business days if you're in the United States, combining 1-3 business days for processing and 5-7 business days for FedEx Ground transit. If you're in Australia, delivery typically takes 2-8 business days. You'll receive a shipment confirmation email with tracking details, so you can monitor your order's progress in real time.
You'll find that the MGI E-Boost pushcart fits in most small car trunks with ease. When folded, it measures just 30.5" × 17.4" × 12.6" after you invert the rear wheels. Its compact dimensions won't block your trunk's closure mechanism, and at only 25 lbs with the battery, you won't struggle lifting it in. You'll even have room left for your golf bag.
The MGI E-Boost is for the golfer who loves walking but whose body is starting to have opinions about it. Maybe you're in your 50s and your knees aren't what they used to be. Maybe you play a mountain course where the elevation changes are brutal. Maybe you're 35 and in great shape but you play 36 holes on Saturdays and want fresh legs for the back 18. Whatever the reason, if you've ever finished a round thinking "I love walking the course, but I wish it didn't take so much out of me," this cart was designed specifically for you.
It's not for the golfer who wants a full electric caddy experience, no remote control, no autonomous following, no hands-free operation. And it's not for the golfer who just needs a basic pushcart and doesn't want to spend more than $250. But for the sweet spot in between, the walker who wants an assist without surrendering the walking experience. I don't think there's a better option at this price point right now. MGI found a gap in the market that I didn't know existed, and they filled it with a cart that's genuinely fun to use. It's also reassuring that the cart comes backed by a 2-year warranty, which gives you some peace of mind on a $599 investment. That's not something I say about pushcarts very often.
