Formula Manual Electric Golf Caddy with Downhill Control
The Formula Manual (M-DHC) delivers the simplest, most refined walking experience in Cart Tek's lineup. Manual steering with automatic downhill control -- walk behind it, steer by hand, and let the single-motor differential system do the work on hills.
Built on the same aviation-grade aluminum frame with glass-fiber reinforced moldings as the Formula Remote and Pursuit. The press-to-start rotary dial gives refined speed adjustments. Lightweight single-motor design keeps the caddy agile and easy to maneuver. Powered by the same 25.2V Formula lithium battery -- good for 36 holes.
Special Offer: Save $204 -- $895 (MSRP $1,099). Free shipping included. Add to cart above.
What Makes the Formula Manual Stand Out
Automatic Downhill Control
The DHC system automatically regulates speed on descents. No runaway caddy, no chasing it downhill. Walk at your pace and the caddy maintains smooth, predictable speed on every slope.
Rotary Speed Dial
Press-to-start rotary dial delivers refined speed adjustments at your fingertips. Intuitive control -- turn to set your pace, press to start. No complex buttons or menus.
Aviation-Grade Build
Same aviation-grade aluminum frame and glass-fiber reinforced moldings as the $1,895 Pursuit. Premium Formula build quality at the most accessible price point in the lineup.
Lightweight Single Motor
Single-motor differential drive reduces weight while preserving stability and balance. The result: a caddy that is effortless to lift, simple to transport, and easy to maneuver all round.
36-Hole Battery
25.2V Formula lithium battery -- the same one used in the Remote and Pursuit. Two full rounds on a single charge with approximately 4-hour recharge time.
HUD Screen
Handle-mounted screen shows speed, mode, and battery at a glance. Always know your caddy's status without stopping to check anything.
How DHC Keeps You in Control
Downhill speed control is the Formula Manual's standout feature. On descents, the electronics automatically regulate motor speed to prevent the caddy from accelerating ahead of you.
- Automatic speed regulation -- no manual braking needed on downhill slopes
- Smooth, predictable pacing -- the caddy maintains a steady pace regardless of gradient
- Anti-tip wheel -- prevents tipping on severe slopes and uneven terrain
- Low center of gravity -- engineered weight distribution keeps the caddy planted
If you play courses with significant elevation changes, DHC is the feature that makes the difference between a relaxing walk and constantly fighting your caddy.
Aviation-grade aluminum, automatic downhill control, and 36-hole battery -- all for under $900. The most accessible entry point into the Formula lineup. Financing from $46/mo with Affirm.
