Easiest to push 3 wheeler?

[madness999]

Looking at clicgear 2.0 right now

Looking at the clicgear 2.0 because of features, etc. but am concerned by comments I've read here and other places that it doesn't push as easily as others, like sun mountain speed cart 2 for instance.

Is it a noticeable difference? Are these two the top of the line 3 wheelers?

Thanks.

You have to check out the riksha. IMO the best push cart out there.'

 

Its not a 3-wheeler, but it is the easiest to push and most stable cart around IMO.

I think the general opinion usually is clicgear if you need the extra small folding and sun mountain if you've got the room. On the plus side, the clic gear is on sale for $169 (or right around there) at rockbottomgolf's masters sale.

I have a 2.0 which replaced a bag boy with air filled narrow tires-I don't notice any significant difference in pushing the Clicgear. It is a bit heavier than either the SM or the Bag Boy so that might make a slight difference-I do notice that I have less work when in or near the mud than the folks with the SM (or the V1.0 Clicgear) which I attribute to the better "float" of the wider airless tires on the 2.0.

+1 on the Clicgear. You can get them at Discount Dan's for $160 with free shipping.

I only have experience with the SM V2, so I can't opine on a comparison. I can say I am thrilled with the V2. Rolls easily and absorbs terrain bumps well with the air filled tires. Like the strapless wings to hold the bag in place. Folds easily. An air pump and umbrella sleeve store unobtrusivley. Sweater net is a nice feature. Good luck.

There are a ton of positive Clicgear comments around here so if that's the cart you like I don't think you'd have any problems. I have a V1 Speed Cart and it's fine too. Honestly I think how a cart pushes has more to do with the weight of the bag you have on it than anything else. Put a 10 lb. bag on any cart and it's going to push harder than a lighter weight bag.

I love my Clicgear, it's very easy to push. In fact I played on Sunday and it was very windy 25-30+ mph and on the holes with a tailwind I didn't even have to push the cart at all. It moved along by itself like a sail boat. That should tell you there's not much rolling resistance.

I have a bag boy LX that folds up very small and is great to push - and it is usually much less costly than the SM or Clic gear versions.

+1 clicgear 2.0 also purchased from DiscountDans for super deal and super service.

I think anything with ball bearings will be easy to puch but wider tires like the Clicgear or the BagBoy GT will be marginally easier to push in wet/soggy conditions.

[Tmiller72]

I have the Clicgear and like it very much. Not sure if it's the easiest to push, but I couldn't imagine anybody having any trouble pushing it. I have heard that it is more stable than the other carts, harder to tip over.

[aop62]

I'm looking for something too and that new Bag Boy Mini GT is looking mighty nice

new sun mountain coming out. there is a thread here. supposed to be HYPE (good)

[oldpalchamp]

I had the Sun Mountain for 2 years and got really tired of messing with the tires. They were not easy to inflate (the pump that comes with it is virtually useless). I picked up a clic gear 2.0 about a month ago. The Sun Mountain is easier to push (when the tires are properly inflated), but I love the fact I will never have to deal with inflating the tires again.

[thenation48]

tires do stink. true.

+1 on The Riksha, I had a clickgear, and a Sunmountain and "The Riksha" bested them all.

[madness999]

Yes, the tires were one of the reasons I was looking at the clic, since I've seen lots of complaints about them holding air.

 

Is a properly inflated V2 significantly easier than a clic, or only just noticeable?

 

And I have seen a couple of positive comments about the Riksha, but it looks to me like you have to hold it up in the air while you push. Is this true? With the three wheelers you just push forward, so I would think that is easier, or at least less stress on your back etc. The Riksha also looks like it might be harder going up and down hills.

I had a Clicgear v.1 and never had a flat. I put slime in them and never looked back. Never had a flat. I was given a new Sun Mountain

v.1 for Christmas and I found no difference in the way the Sun Mountain and the Clicgear pushed.

 

I have only used the Sun Mountain once, since I also have a Sun Mountain e Cart. It is very easy to push. ;)

 

BTW, I have put slime in all the tires of the Sun Mountain carts I have so far no flats.

[generalpatton]

Knock on wood - I've had my V1 for a year now and never had a flat and have only had to put more air in the tires just once. I found the air pump that comes with it quite easy to use.

GET A STAND BAG, PULL CARTS ARE BAD. AUTOMATIC HACK STATUS. CARRY A BAG, IT IS NOT THAT HEAVY.

 

"Status?" Been there done that...I've stopped worrying about status about the same time I got out of high school almost 20 years ago.

 

I play basketball and get runs in every week, so as far as exercise goes I'm good. I'll need a better reason than "status" to shelve my "BAD" cart. :bb:

[Sean2]

the risksha is a great push cart as others have mentioned.

 

regarding status: i'm in my 50s...ill use a push cart thank you very much.

[jola]

What is the price on the rikshaw 3000 cart.I e-mailed the company for the price but no response.

Thanks

"GET A STAND BAG, PULL CARTS ARE BAD. AUTOMATIC HACK STATUS. CARRY A BAG, IT IS NOT THAT HEAVY."

 

That's right. Listen to this guy...status? Get the Clicgear--awesome cart and easy to push. If you have to take your cart around a hairpin turn at 50 mph, then, yes, it's hard to manuever. This thing is WAY more stable than the Sun Mountains, which I had fall over multiple times.

I just got a Bag Boy Express 180 and love it. It is not a current model however. While it doesn't pack too small it is not big feeling when pushing it. Good features. Non inflatable tires. about $140

[freed0m]

$149 + shipping... The Rickshaw looks great, I ordered one last week.

Clicgear is easy to push.

 

Use the brake, the wind took my clicgear for a 100 yard stroll the other day, but didn't tip over!

[freed0m]

Yes, they really are... I currently have the Clicgear 2.0 in silver (my kids will get it) and really like it. I ordered a Riksha out of needing one more in the family and purely out of curiosity, I'll do a quick comparison when it gets delivered
