Guide Review - Sun Mountain "Speed Cart" Push Cart

Sun Mountain's "Speed Cart" is, without question, in the upper echelon of push carts on the market. This baby comes with everything but the chaffeur.

That shouldn't be a surprise, since Sun Mountain helped pioneer the upper-end, three-wheeled push cart.

The Speed Cart is designed to make things easier on walking golfers by providing an ergonomically designed handle, extremely stable wheel construction and large, pneumatic tires that help absorb shock.

We found the Speed Cart exceedingly easy to use. It folds into shape easily, and folds back down into a smaller package just as easily for transportation or storage. The materials used throughout are lightweight, so there's no worry about lugging it around.

The golf bags rests comfortably and securely thanks to adjustable clasps and straps.

The handle includes a "console" chock full of goodies. There are holders for the scorecard, several balls and tees and even a drink holder. There is also a "glove box" with a fold-up top to hold valuables or anything else you want to throw into it.

Other gadgets on the Speed Cart include a front wheel parking brake (controlled by a lever on the handle), an umbrella mount that screws into the handle and a tire pump.

Several optional accessories only increase the goodies available to golfers.
