Golf is full of tradition, and it has always had a bit of a complicated relationship with innovation. We golfers tend to embrace this tradition, but we’re all ears when something truly improves the golfing experience. That’s precisely where golf scooters come in. These nifty two-wheeled wonders are changing how many of us get around the course, offering a fresh alternative to walking or traditional golf carts. They’re fast, fun, and a great way to move around the course.

But here’s the million-dollar question I always ask: "How do I carry my clubs on a scooter without dropping them all over the fairway?"

As someone who’s logged hundreds of miles on golf scooters (and yes, dropped my bag more times than I’d like to admit during the learning phase), I’m here to share everything you need to know about carrying your golf clubs on a scooter safely, conveniently, and stylishly.

If you’re tired of golf cart fees eating into your beer budget, if you’re looking for a faster alternative to walking, or if you want to spice up your golf transportation game, this guide will help you choose the right scooter and keep your clubs secure through those tight fairway turns.

Ready to join the golf scooter revolution? Let’s roll!

Can you Carry Golf Clubs on a Scooter? 

Yes, you can! Our online store has excellent models designed to make riding around the course an absolute blast. Golf scooters have built-in club holders for hassle-free transportation down the fairway. Also, you can move quickly to ensure they’re strapped in. 

How to Choose the Right Electric Scooter for Golfers

Not every scooter can handle a bag of clubs. I learned this the hard way, especially when you plan to strap a 20+ pound bag of expensive clubs to them. When I first tried using my city commuter scooter for golf, let’s just say my driver ended up taking an unexpected detour into some rough terrain.

The ideal golf scooter needs specific features to handle the unique demands of course transportation. Here’s what you should look for in a good golf scooter:

• Power/Motor: Look for at least 500W motors (750w+ is even better) to handle hills and rough terrain with your added weight plus clubs.
• Battery range: You’ll want a minimum of 20 miles per charge to complete 18 holes, especially on hillier courses.
• Torque: Higher torque helps with hills and maintaining speed when carrying the additional weight of your golf bag.
• Tire size and type: Opt for larger tires (at least 10 inches) with good tread for stability and handling on various course terrains.
• Weight capacity: Check that the scooter can comfortably handle your weight plus your golf bag (typically an additional 15-30 pounds).
• Suspension system: Front and rear suspension help absorb bumps, protecting you and your clubs from jarring impacts.
• Braking system: Braking safety is non-negotiable. Reliable disc brakes or electronic braking is essential for safety, especially when carrying the added weight of golf equipment.
• Frame durability: Aluminium alloy frames offer the best balance of strength and weight.

What are some of the best golf scooters? Here are my favorites: 

Best Golf Scooters in 2025 

The Fat Tire Golf Scooter comes mostly assembled and requires only the attachment of the handlebars and the Bag Holder. It can be charged using a standard 110V outlet, either by plugging it in directly or by removing the battery and charging it separately. The scooter has an approximate range of 20 miles per charge and takes 6-8 hours to charge fully. You don’t have to be a mechanic to put these scooters together! With a few minutes and a couple of tools, you’re ready to rock and roll.

Here are some of my top picks: 

1. The Cruiser 3.0 Gold Scooter

The Cruiser 3.0 Golf Scooter is specifically designed for golfers. It has a strong and waterproof motor, a Lithium-Ion battery for extended range, and a well-cushioned seat for comfort. The scooter also has a heavy-duty aluminum bag holder for golf bags, a handlebar-mounted platform for carrying golf accessories, and front and rear suspension for a smooth ride.  

What stands out is how user-friendly this scooter is right out of the box. It arrived almost fully assembled – I only needed to attach the handlebars and was cruising within 15 minutes. Plus, the one-year limited parts warranty gives you peace of mind for your investment.

Charging couldn’t be simpler with a standard 110V outlet. I typically plug mine in after a round, and it’s ready to go by morning.

The Rattler Golf Trike 

The Rattler Golf Trike has to be the coolest golf scooter on the planet. It has three-wheel stability, but the rear tires actually articulate with the terrain. This allows you to traverse side hills and bumps. You’ll be leaning into turns like a pro! 

I took The Rattler through one of the hilliest courses in my area last week, and how those rear tires adjusted to the uneven terrain was nothing short of impressive. While traditional golf carts struggled with some slopes, I cruised up and down with zero issues.

Fair warning: Be prepared for fellow golfers to stop you for questions and test rides! The Rattler Golf Scooter has dual 20-ah lithium batteries (36+ holes on a full charge) powered by dual 2000-watt waterproof motors.  

Key Features:

• Unique articulating rear wheels that adapt to terrain (a game-changer on side hills!)
• Dual 20-ah lithium batteries supporting 36+ holes on a single charge
• Powerful dual 2000-watt waterproof motors that handle steep inclines with ease
• Three-wheel stability that gives confidence even to new riders
• Responsive handling that lets you lean into turns like you’re in an action movie

GolfEbikes - Best Single Person 2-Wheel Scooter 

The GolfEBikes single-person scooter has completely transformed how I navigate my local courses. As someone who’s always preferred walking but struggles with knee pain after 12 holes, this sleek two-wheeler offers the perfect middle ground between traditional walking and riding in a cart.

What immediately stands out about the GolfEBikes model is its lightweight aluminum frame. It is fully assembled and weighs just 55 pounds, making it remarkably easy to maneuver even in tight spots around greens.  The powerful yet whisper-quiet 1000W motor delivers smooth acceleration (0-12 mph in about 3 seconds) without disturbing playing partners during their shots.

 Key Features:

• Sleek, lightweight design that’s easy to maneuver
• Intuitive controls are perfect for first-time scooter users
• Compact footprint that takes up minimal space in storage
• Eco-friendly operation with reduced course impact
• Quick acceleration that gets you to your ball efficiently

How to Mount a Golf Bag on a Scooter

Mounting a golf bag on a scooter might seem tricky initially, but it can be simple and secure with the right setup. So, choose a mounting method that keeps your bag stable without affecting your ride. I’ll explain how to mount your golf bag for a smooth round.

Golf Bag Mounting Options

If you’re not using a purpose-built golf scooter like the Golfebikes, you’ll need to get creative with mounting options. 

Here are the most common approaches:

• Front mounts attach to the stem or handlebar area and hold the bag in front of you. They offer good weight distribution but can affect steering if not properly balanced.
• Rear mounts: These are attached behind the rider and are good for heavier bags. However, if not appropriately secured, they can make the scooter prone to "fishtailing."
• Side mounts: These attach to either side of the scooter and are less common due to balance issues. However, they work well with lighter bags or when paired with counterweights.

Custom attachments and racks for a secure ride:

If you’re handy (or know someone who is), custom solutions best fit your scooter and bag. Here’s how:

• Universal cargo carriers: These aftermarket accessories can be modified to hold golf bags securely.
• Custom brackets: Aluminum or steel can be fabricated to create a perfect mounting solution.
• 3D-printed solutions: Several golfers in our community have designed 3D-printed mounts specific to their scooter models.

When choosing a golf bag mount, remember that it must attach securely to strong, solid parts of the scooter’s frame, not to plastic covers or weak spots.

When I first started, I used a basic bike pannier rack on the back of my scooter. It held up, but every time I hit a bump, my driver nearly flew off like it was trying to make a run for it.

Which brings us to the next important point.

Securing Your Golf Clubs on the Scooter

Once you’ve selected a mounting system, you must ensure those precious clubs stay put and do not move. Nothing ruins a round faster than watching your favorite wedge bounce down the cart path. Use straps, brackets, and carriers to prevent clubs from falling:

• Bungee cords with hooks: These are lifesavers for quick, adjustable securing. I recommend keeping at least 4-6 in your golf bag.
• Ratchet straps: Low-profile ratchet straps provide serious holding power for more permanent setups.
• Velcro straps: Great for quick adjustments and securing the top of the bag.
• Club head covers: Don’t underestimate these to prevent club movement within the bag.
• Carabiners: These climbing tools connect straps to odd mounting points.

Luckily, all our gold scooters come with a golf club holder. This is a great way to keep your clubs accessible and within reach. Simply place each club in its holder and secure it with the provided club.

Do you already own an electric bike or scooter? 

We have the right attachment for you! Turn your e-bike or scooter into a golf scooter. The mule is an attachment that will install directly on your bike, creating a golf bag carrier. It may be the perfect attachment for your bike. 

Tips for Transporting Golf Clubs on a Scooter

It’s easy to imagine transporting golf clubs by strapping them to a bag. No. It requires balance, stability, and smart packing. A few small adjustments can make a big difference in how your scooter handles the course. Here are some key tips to help you ride safely and comfortably with your clubs.

Balancing the Load

Once you’ve mounted your bag, fine-tuning the weight distribution is critical for a safe, enjoyable ride.

Adjust the golf bag’s weight to ensure even distribution:

• Place drivers and longer clubs with heavier heads at the bottom of the bag.
• Keep your putter in a center position rather than a side pocket.
• Spread balls, tees, and other accessories to balance side pockets.
• Use your water bottle as a counterweight if needed.
• Lighten your load by carrying only what you need for the round.

Ensuring a Safe and Secure Ride

Beyond balancing your load, there are additional steps for maximum security and safety. To prevent the clubs from shifting or falling while riding:

• Use internal bag dividers to deter clubs from shifting against each other.
• Use a towel or head cover over the club heads, then secure with a strap.
• Check your mounting system and straps periodically during your round.
• Avoid jackrabbit starts that can cause clubs to shift.
• Develop a quick pre-ride checklist to ensure everything is secure before moving.

Managing Scooter Suspension and Handling

So, here’s the deal: riding a scooter with a full golf bag changes the way your scooter moves, turns and responds. It’s simple physics. The added weight can affect balance, speed, and control, especially on hills or uneven ground. Here’s how to handle your scooter confidently with your clubs on board.

• If your scooter has adjustable suspension, increase the preload to account for the added weight.
• Consider increasing tire pressure by 2-3 PSI for better handling with the added weight.
• If your scooter allows it, firmer shock settings help with heavier loads.
• For serious golf scooter enthusiasts, upgrading to heavier-duty suspension components can dramatically improve the ride.

Maintaining Speed and Control

Safety should always be your priority when zipping the course with your clubs on board. Here’s a guide to controlling speed and maintaining control of your scooter:

• Reduce speed on rough or wet surfaces.
• Slow down before corners rather than during them.
• Use brakes intermittently rather than constantly on long downhills to prevent overheating.
• Remember that excessive speed can damage turf and disturb other golfers.

Alternative Ways to Carry Golf Clubs on an Electric Scooter

There are several other creative and effective ways to carry your golf clubs on an electric scooter, especially if your ride wasn’t built for it. Some golfers use side mounts, custom attachments, or even innovative 3D-printed carriers to suit their individual needs. Here are alternative methods that might offer the perfect blend of stability, convenience, and style for your ride.

Use a Side Carrier or Custom Accessory

For those with specific needs or who are unsatisfied with traditional mounting options, side carriers and custom solutions offer alternatives. Side-mounted bags allow you to pull clubs without dismounting, and they work well with bags that have built-in stands. 

How to choose and attach custom accessories for additional stability:

• Consult with experts. Bike shops and online retailers often have experience with similar mounting challenges.
• Consider your specific scooter model. Some scooters have attachment points that are not obvious to casual users.
• Look for golf-specific adaptations. Some companies now make universal golf bag carriers that can attach to scooters.
• Test thoroughly before use. Any custom solution should be rigorously tested before being taken on the course.

Conclusion:  

To sum up, transporting your golf clubs on a scooter doesn’t need to be difficult. Our specially designed golf scooters make it easy to carry your clubs effortlessly. Just strap them securely, and off you go!

However, keep in mind your scooter’s weight limit suggestions to ensure safe handling and comfort while moving your clubs around. Try different ways until you find what suits you best.

Ultimately, the key is just getting out and having fun playing golf with your friends or family! So, why wait? Grab your electric scooter, load it up with your favorite club set, and head straight to the course!
