Quick Overview
We developed the “Golf Bag Carrier” in 2020 as a universal-fit attachment that has quickly become a global success, ushering in what many in the golf industry believe will be a major change in the way golf is played. Although the Bag Carriers fit on any ebike with a rear rack, not all ebikes can work for golf.
The basic necessities for golf include:
- A low step-thru
- Fat tires
- Sturdy rear rack
- Full fenders
But there are many more features that make an ebike ideal for golf.
To be sure, there are cheaper budget entry-level ebikes available, but they don’t have the GolfEbike features described on this page or the quality of GolfEbikes, especially in combination.
As ebikes become more and more popular on golf course, they are adapting minimum ebike rules that include golf course approved tire tread (no knobbies as are on other fat tire ebikes), minimum tire width, and safety elements. GolfEbikes meet all of those requirements and include many other features described below. If you are considering another ebike, click here to read this page first
27 Unique Features on the GolfEbikes
While other fat tire ebikes are racing to the bottom of pricing with budget materials, parts and batteries, our GolfEbikesTM are loaded with top-level components. They are a beautiful titanium-grey metallic. There is a full list of specifications, geometry, and weights at the bottom of this page.
These 27 unique features are not found on other ebikes, especially in combination. These elements make GolfEbikes the best ebikes for golf, and the best 20×4 folding ebike for all types of riding including family rides, hunting, hauling cargo, riding to-and-from work or school, trails, beaches, and local errands.
1. Frame
Our frame is heavier-duty than any other folding ebike. In fact, it is a folding ebike that is heavy duty enough to also be classified as a “cargo bike.” The main down tube is larger and stronger, and the rear seat-stay and chain-stay frame bars shown in the accompanying picture are made with larger thicker-walled rectangular tubing than the standard small-diameter thin-wall round tubing on other ebikes.
2. Longer Wheelbase and Larger Frame
The GolfEbikeTM frame is not only rugged, it is larger and longer than other 20×4 inch ebikes which provides a more stable and smoother ride. The wheelbase is 48.5 inches long, yet it folds into this small package!
If you could ride any other 20×4 inch ebike and then ride the GolfEbike, you would immediately be able to tell the difference. It is less cramped and more stable.
3. Largest and Lowest Step Through Space
The accompanying picture illustrates the openness of the step-thru space compared to other ebikes. We have superimposed a semi-transparent picture of the GolfEbike over a normal step-thru ebike. The captions tell the story.
Some ebikes have the battery in the downtube and others have it in front of the seat post. Both methods crowd the step-thru space and require you to maneuver your foot sideways to get it through. Our battery is behind the seat post.
4. Wider Handlebars
Our handlebars are 26.75 inches wide which is 2 inches wider than most other ebikes. This provides significantly more control and a roomier cockpit.
Combined with the larger frame and longer wheelbase, if you could ride any other 20×4 inch ebike and then ride the GolfEbike, you would immediately feel the difference. The bike is less cramped, the ride is smoothe and ignificantly more stable.
5. Rear Rack
The rear rack is longer and made with larger and thicker tubing, and it is welded to the frame rather than bolted like most ebikes. It will effortlessly handle even the heaviest golf bags and a whole lot more. GolfEbikes are so rugged that they are both “folding” and “cargo rated.” Other cargo ebikes are not folding and they only have 3 inch wide tires.
6. Built-in Bag Carrier Mount
GolfEbikesTM have a mounting plate integrated into the rack as shown. So it does not need the “universal-fit” Bag Carrier bracket. The hinge-bracket bolts to the mounting plate with just 2 simple bolts.
7. Built-in Bumper Stop
GolfEbikes have a built-in heavy duty rubber bumper mount that is part of the frame, as shown in the next two pictures below. It stops the bag carrier frame in the vertical carry position and prevents it from hitting the tire and brake and other left-side controls.
8. Extra Long Front Fender
The front fender is extra-long so you don’t need to add a rubber mudguard extension. This is important whenever the grass is wet with dew which is just about every morning. The extra-long flexible front fender will block grass clippings from getting all over your shoes and the bottom of your bike.
9. Fat Tires With Golf Course Approved Tread
Some so-called fat tires are only 3 or 3.5 inches wide. They have knobby tread which golf course managers don’t like because they fear that the tires will tear up the turf. Knobbies are also unstable on pavement, especially when they are wet from morning dew. Wet knobbies can easily slip out from under the bike going around corners, even when riding slowly. GolfEbikes have 4″ wide tires with golf course-approved tread. They are gentle on the turf and have much better traction on pavement while also gripping firmly to wet grass, even on steep side-hills. As a bonus, they get better mileage (battery life) on the road, and the tread lasts a lot longer.
Important Note – As ebikes become more and more popular on golf courses, with safety and liability a major concern, we believe that golf courses will adopt “minimum ebike rules” that will require 4″ wide tires, and knobbies will not be allowed.
10. Battery
GolfEbikesTM have an industry-leading 20 amp hour battery with industry-best Samsung or LG cells. Most other ebikes have 10 to 15 amp hour batteries with off-brand cells that don’t provide nearly as long a ride, and they lose their useful life 2 or 3 years sooner than our name-brand cells. The battery is the most expensive component on an ebike, so you don’t want to replace it any sooner than necessary. This battery adds at least $300 of value compared to other ebikes. Click here to see even more reasons this high quality battery will save you money and problems.
How long will the battery last? – One of the most often asked questions is, “How many miles will the battery last?” Or more specifically for golf, “How many rounds can you play before having to recharge the battery?” Both answers are largely dependent on important variables such as how much you pedal compared to how much you use the throttle, is it a hilly road or golf course, how much do you weigh, and the air pressure in the tires. Any ebike company that claims a specific amount of miles is suspect if they don’t define those variables. But we can provide some general observations with those variables in mind such as 40 to 60 miles on the road. I can also provide personal results along with the fact that I weigh 235 pounds and don’t pedal hard while I am golfing. I use the throttle most of the time. After all, the farthest I ride between shots is my longest drives, and the ride from the greens to the next tee box is usually shorter than that. All that considered, I get a little over 3 rounds of golf on an average terrain golf course. I also play on a course that has a lot of hills, and I only get 2 1/2 rounds there. One of my golf buddies is 180 pounds who also rides our GolfEbike, and he gets a lot more out of his battery than I do. By comparison, many of the entry-level cheaper bikes can’t even complete 2 rounds, so they have to recharge between every round which depletes the lifetime of the battery.
11. Class 2 or 3 Speed
GolfEbikesTM are shipped with Class 3 speed up to 28 mph (top speed varies with your weight, tire pressure, road conditions, and other variables). But our user-friendly interface makes it easy to change it to Class 2 speed of up to 20 mph, or even lower if you are renting them on a golf course (golf carts are usually governed at about 13 mph). You do not need a special license for an ebike to ride on the road. Bicycle rules apply, so consult your local road rules for ebike speed limits.
12. Bright Color Display
GolfEbikesTM have an industry-bright color display so you can see it in bright sunlight. It includes battery life, speed, PAS Mode, odometer, trip-odometer, average speed, and ride time. Most ebike dispays are too faint to see in daytime light.
It has an intutive menu that makes it easy to change parameters like the speed limit, PAS ranges, miles or kilometers, etc.
13. Cruise Control
Our ebikes also have an easy-to-use cruise control. Set it by long-pressing the minus button which shows the icon (in the red box in this image). Disengage by lightly pulling either brake. Other ebikes with cruise control automatically engage which happens when you don’t want it to.
“It has been my privilege to consult with you to develop the new GolfEbikes. As a customer with one of the other ebikes for 2 years, and after many rounds of golf, I am so pleased with the GolfEbike. The upgrade features are fantastic for golf, but I also use it for rides with my family and for hunting where the super low gear is awesome.” George Bruce, Levittown PA
14. Gear Range
GolfEbikesTM have 7 gears using an 11 to 34 tooth sprocket-set while other ebikes have a 14-28 sprocket-set. That means GolfEbikes have a lower 34-tooth (Gear-1) for climbing hills and steep approaches to elevated tee boxes and other hills, and a higher 11-tooth (Gear-7) so your legs are not “ghost pedaling” at high speeds like other ebikes. On a GolfEbike, you can actually add leg-speed at full throttle.
Low gear also makes it easier to maneuver around tight spaces.
15. 7-Level Pedal Assist
Pedal assist levels are “increments” of power. Most ebikes have 3 or 5 levels. GolfEbikesTM have 7 which means that you can fine tune the amount of leg-energy you want to put into your ride, from a little motor help in PAS-1 up to full power in PAS-7.
16. Comfortable Rubber Throttle Pad
The non-slip throttle pad is a unique feature of our ebike. It is a thumb throttle which is easier to control than a half-twist throttle. Also, it is on the left side so you can shift gears on the right side while using the throttle. Other ebikes awkwardly put the throttle and the gear shifter on the same right side.
It has an intutive menu that makes it easy to change parameters like the speed limit, PAS ranges, miles or kilometers, etc.
17. Independent Throttle
This is VERY IMPORTANT for golf. Most ebikes limit the throttle to the PAS setting. For instance, if you are in PAS 3 at 50% power, that’s all you can get out of full throttle. But our throttle is independent of the PAS setting. That means you have full 100% throttle available any time which makes it easy to “accelerate up to speed before you start pedaling” or “get a run at a hill” without having to change the PAS setting. With other ebikes, you have to increase the PAS setting if you want more throttle. On a GolfEbike, you can throttle to the desired speed or increase speed at any time without having to change the PAS setting. This is a critical feature for golf because you are “taking off” after every shot. This allows you to select the PAS setting you want for level riding on fairways, and use the throttle for everything else. You won’t be constantly changing the PAS.
18. Extra Wide and Comfortable Seat
Most ebikes come with seats that are 6 to 8 inches wide (150 to 200mm). Our standard soft cushion seats are almost 12 inches wide and 12 inches long for comfortable riding (295x296mm).
19. Zoom Seat Post
Our GolfEbikesTM have the highly rated Zoom seat post shown here. It is stronger with a larger diameter than most ebikes and is 13.75 inches long (350mm) so it can accommodate tall riders. It is heavy duty, smooth-operating, and adjustable for your weight. It is a significant upgrade from other suspension seat posts
20. Sand Bottle Holder
We have designed the ebike to include a Sand Bottle Holder that mounts behind the battery. It will hold all standard sand bottles, including those with handles. It is important that golfers on ebikes are good golf course citizens, including repairing divots. Golf courses will gladly provide a sand bottle for you to use, or you can buy a sand bottle from Amazon and other sources and get sand at the golf course.
21. Brakes
GolfEbikesTM have 180 mm diameter x 3 mm thick hydraulic disk brakes. Other ebikes are 160mm x 1.5mm cable brakes. Ours are the highly rated Dyisland which includes adjusting thumb-screws while other brands require tools for adjustments. These independent dual disk brakes provide an extra level of safety that golf courses appreciate, and superb smooth stopping power when riding on the road.
As an additional safety feature, when you pull either brake handle, it cuts the power. So your motor and brakes are never working against each other.
22. Flashing Brake Lights
It might not seem necessary to have brake lights on the golf course, but when you are following another ebike closely, you never know when the rider might suddenly brake. The flashing brake light on a GolfEbike quickly alerts you and provides an extra element of safety. Of course, it is also much safer when riding on the road.
23. Three USB Ports
GolfEbikesTM have a USB port in the display and a heavy duty USB port on the handlebars for your phone, GPS, or speaker. Most ebikes have only one low-amperage outlet in the display. In addition, we have another heavy duty USB port in the battery which allows you to power a speaker on the rear if you want to. As a bonus, because the battery is easily removable and has a handy carrying handle, you can use it at home in case of a power outage to keep your phones charged for days.
24. Traction Pedals
Most golf shoes have plastic spikes which can easily slip off normal pedals. GolfEbikes have traction pedals that securely hold your shoes, even when wet.
25. Water Bottle Holder
Most ebikes have a small wire-frame water bottle holder that only holds a plastic bottle or can. Ours is a deluxe aluminum wing-design that can flex out and even hold a large Yetti or Stanley tumbler.
26. Headlight, Horn, and Turn Signals
You probably won’t need these features on the golf course, but if you ride to-and-from the course or use your GolfEbike for any type of general riding, you will have an extra-large and industry-bright wide-beam headlight, a loud horn, and rear turn signals. When riding on the road, you want to be “lit up” so drivers can see you.
27. Walking Mode Press and Release
Most ebikes with a walking mode require you to hold down the minus button. GolfEbikes allow you to start the walk mode by long-pressing the minus button, then letting go of it. You can then stop the walking assistance by simply pulling on either one of the brakes.
Compare the expensive non-folding RemiDemi Benno at over $3000, or the Rad Runner 3 Plus with narrower tires, the Ettrone Fuoco, or the fenderless Murf-Higgs which doesn’t fold…all 3 with less than 15 Ah batteries. And like all fat tire bikes, they have knobby tread, and not nearly as many upgrade features as the GolfEbike, especially the elements that are necessary for golf.
“I sure am impressed with the quality and performance of the GolfEbike. It is better than my non-folding Remi Benno ebike that cost $3,400.”
Steve Wohlgemuth
What about cheap ebikes?
“I can hardly wait to receive my Golf Ebike. But I have already started to tell my friends, and two of them have just ordered their own Golf Ebikes. We are going to have so much fun riding together. I’ve already made $200 and haven’t even received my own bike yet. How cool is that!”
Kirk Tanner, Utah
Referral Commissions
Showing and demonstrating your ebike and bag carrier to golfers on the course is natural and fun. But as an added incentive, we are paying $100 commission for every GolfEbike sale that you refer. Our hope is that you will also send, “Look what I have found…” emails to your friends, and post some pictures and videos on social media. We have some customers who have paid off their ebike cost just by referring people!
We have printable hand-out cards and other helpful items to make referring easy.
