Motocaddy is the world's #1 electric golf caddy brand, and for good reason. Every model uses a 28V system with 230W DHC motors (one on the M1 and M5, two on the M7), a compact folding design, and a CLICK 'N' CONNECT cable-free lithium battery. The main differences between the M1, M5, and M7 are GPS, remote control, motor count, and price.
This guide breaks down exactly what you get at each level so you can pick the right Motocaddy without overspending.

View Motocaddy M7 GPS Remote →Motocaddy M1 DHC: $1,099
The M1 DHC is the entry point to Motocaddy. It includes the 28V system and 230W DHC motor (the $2,099 M7 GPS runs two), a compact folding design, CLICK 'N' CONNECT cable-free battery, DHC, USB charging port, and an adjustable distance function.
What You Give Up
No GPS screen, no remote control, and one 230W DHC motor where the M7 runs two.
Buy the M1 If
- You use a rangefinder or phone app for distances
- You prefer walking behind your caddy and steering by hand
- You want the best value in the Motocaddy lineup
- Budget is a factor: this is $1,000 less than the M7 GPS Remote
Motocaddy M5 GPS DHC: $1,499
The M5 GPS adds a 3.5-inch full-color GPS touchscreen to the M1 platform. Front, middle, and back distances to the green on 40,000+ preloaded courses worldwide. Free lifetime course updates via Wi-Fi. Bluetooth smartphone notifications on the screen.
What You Give Up
No remote control. You still walk behind and steer by hand. This is a non-remote caddy with GPS.
Buy the M5 GPS If
- You want GPS distances without pulling out your phone
- You do not need remote control
- You play multiple courses and want preloaded data everywhere you go
- You want the $400 sweet spot between M1 and M7
Motocaddy M7 Remote: $1,699
The M7 Remote is, per Motocaddy, the best-selling electric caddy among U.S. golfers. Full 360-degree remote control from 100m+: forward, reverse, left, right, speed adjustment. Send it ahead to the green, steer around obstacles, park it at the next tee.
What You Give Up
No GPS screen. You get the remote but not the touchscreen. If you use a rangefinder, this is not a compromise.
Buy the M7 Remote If
- You want to walk untethered from your caddy
- You already have a rangefinder or GPS watch for distances
- You want the remote control experience without the GPS premium
- You value pace of play: send the caddy ahead while you walk
Motocaddy M7 GPS Remote: $2,099
The M7 GPS Remote is the complete package. Remote control + GPS touchscreen in one caddy. Everything from the M7 Remote plus the 3.5-inch GPS screen from the M5, Wi-Fi course updates, and Bluetooth notifications.
What You Give Up
Nothing. This is the full Motocaddy experience.
Buy the M7 GPS Remote If
- You want the best Motocaddy makes
- You want remote control AND built-in GPS in one unit
- You do not want to carry a separate rangefinder
- You value the complete, no-compromise package
The Decision Tree
Answer two questions and you have your model:
1. Do you want remote control?
- No → M1 ($1,099) or M5 GPS ($1,499)
- Yes → M7 Remote ($1,699) or M7 GPS Remote ($2,099)
2. Do you want GPS on the caddy?
- No → M1 ($1,099) or M7 Remote ($1,699)
- Yes → M5 GPS ($1,499) or M7 GPS Remote ($2,099)
Our recommendation: If you are on the fence about remote, get it. Golfers who try remote do not go back. The M7 Remote at $1,699 is the sweet spot for most buyers. Add GPS for $400 more if you want on-screen distances.
What They All Share
Regardless of which model you choose, every 2026 Motocaddy includes:
- 28V system with 230W DHC motors: one motor on the M1 and M5, two on the M7
