Sun Mountain pioneered collapsible push carts for walking golfers with its Speed Cart. Now, the Speed Cart is updated for 2004 with many new features.

The Speed Cart, Sun Mountain says, "efficiently transfers energy from the natural walking position to the wheels, thereby reducing fatigue." New features for 2004 include redesigned bag supports that accommodate a broader range of bag sizes and shapes and fold for easier storage. Other new features include:
• New front wheel alignment system for easy tracking adjustment;
• Umbrella holder that holds an opened golf umbrella over the clubheads and the golfer;
• Standard tire pump mounted to the frame.

Speed Cart's self-balancing three-wheel design allows for easy maneuverability and straight tracking. In two easy steps, it folds down for easy storage, and weighs only 14 pounds thanks to the aircraft-aluminum tubing frame. The handle has an ergonomic design and comfort grip handle to push without strain to shoulders or back.

Speed Cart comes standard with a self-locking parking brake that easily and securely holds the cart in place. Other features include a scorecard clip, drink holder, ball and tee holder, and a secure valuables box. Optional accessories include the Cool-Paq cooler and the Speed-Paq bag for extra storage. The Speed Cart is available in yellow, granite, burgundy, evergreen and midnight blue.

The 2004 Speed Cart is called Speed Cart V1 and comes with an MSRP of $215. It is available through golf retailers or by visiting www.sunmountain.com.
