Unlike bulkier models, the M1 emphasizes portability—it folds into a 45 x 35 cm footprint for easy transport. The brushless motor operates at 55dB, quieter than most competitors, preserving course tranquility. Pro Tip: Store the battery at 50% charge during offseason to prevent capacity degradation. For context, a typical 18-hole round consumes ≈600Wh, leaving 30% reserve in the M1’s 900Wh pack. The caddy’s 10kg frame weight allows effortless lifting into vehicles, a critical advantage for frequent travelers.
How does the M1’s battery performance compare?
The **36V 10Ah lithium battery** achieves 4-hour fast charging via a 5A adapter, outperforming standard 8-hour lead-acid systems. Its 1,000+ cycle lifespan ensures 5+ years of regular use before replacement.

Runtime varies with terrain: flat courses yield 36 holes, while hilly layouts provide 27 holes. Unlike SLA batteries, lithium cells maintain 95% capacity below -5°C—crucial for early morning tee times. Pro Tip: Use only Motocaddy-approved chargers; third-party units risk overvoltage faults. The table below contrasts battery technologies:
| Parameter | M1 Lithium | Lead-Acid |
|---|---|---|
| Weight | 2.5kg | 8kg |
| Recharge Cycles | 1,000 | 300 |
Is the M1 suitable for hilly courses?
With a **20Nm motor torque rating**, the M1 handles 25° inclines—adequate for most municipal courses. The dynamic brake system prevents rollback on slopes exceeding 15°.
Steeper terrains may require manual assistance, but the caddy’s rear-wheel drive maintains traction on wet grass. Practical example: At Pine Valley GC (average slope 22°), the M1 completed 18 holes with 18% battery remaining. Warning: Avoid continuous 25° climbs—thermal sensors may trigger shutdowns after 8 minutes to protect components.

FAQs
Not recommended—proprietary BMS configurations may reject non-OEM packs, voiding warranty coverage. Genuine batteries maintain IP64 moisture resistance critical for golf environments.
How does the M1 handle wet conditions?
The IP54-rated motor withstands moderate rain, but prolonged exposure requires post-round drying. Avoid submerging wheels beyond 10cm depth to prevent bearing corrosion.
