You are a Weekend player
WE RECOMMEND: ZIP NAVIGATOR
Full flagship remote-control experience — Gyroscope Straight Tracker, 36-hole battery — at MGI's most accessible remote caddyprice point. No GPS or hands-free features you won't use every round.
Senior golfer/recovering from injury
WE RECOMMEND: AI NAVIGATOR HALO

Hilly or uneven course regular
WE RECOMMEND: ZIP NAVIGATOR AT
Dual independent front wheels and all-terrain tread are purpose-built for slopes and rough ground, with downhill speed control to keep the cart from running away on descents.
Tech-forward golfer
WE RECOMMEND: AI NAVIGATOR HALO +
HALO EYE
Built-in GPS with 40,000+ courses, Geo Protect hazard avoidance, and LiDAR based Follow Mode make this MGI's most connected, automated caddy.
Fitness-focused walker who still wants help on hills
WE RECOMMEND: E‑BOOST
Keeps the classic push cart feel and full-round walking experience, with a 240W motor boost available on demand for climbs or late-round fatigue — no remote control to manage.

FAQs
What is the best MGI electric caddy for a beginner?
The Zip Navigator is the best starting point for most new electric caddy owners. It carries MGI's core technology — the patented Gyroscope Straight Tracker and a 36-hole battery — in the simplest, most affordable remote-control package. Golfers who want built-in GPS from day one should consider the Ai Navigator GPS+ instead.
What's the difference between the Zip Navigator and the Zip Navigator AT?
The Zip Navigator AT adds two independent, swiveling front wheels and reinforced all-terrain tread, built specifically for hilly or uneven courses. The standard Zip Navigator uses a single front wheel and is 12% lighter and 25% more compact when folded, making it the better choice for golfers on flatter courses who prioritize easy transport.
Which MGI caddy has GPS?
Two models include built-in GPS: the Ai Navigator GPS+ (yardages to 40,000+ courses) and the Ai Navigator Halo, which adds Geo Protect hazard mapping on top of GPS. Neither the Zip Navigator, Zip Navigator AT, nor E-BOOST includes onboard GPS.
What does the MGI Ai Navigator Halo's Follow Mode do?
When paired with the optional Halo Eye accessory, the Ai Navigator Halo uses LiDAR to track the golfer and follow automatically, without remote-control steering. Geo Protect uses mapped course hazards to keep the cart clear of water, bunkers, and out-of-bounds areas as it follows.
Is the E-BOOST an electric caddy or a push cart?
The E-BOOST is a push cart first. Golfers push it manually like a traditional cart, then press a button to activate a 240W motor for an on-demand power boost — useful on hills or late in the round. It has no remote control and is not a substitute for a full remote-control caddy like the Zip Navigator or Ai Navigator series.
Which MGI cart is best for hilly courses?
For a full electric caddy, the Zip Navigator AT is built for hills, with dual independent front wheels and downhill speed control. The Ai Navigator Halo also handles slopes well through its independent in-hub motors and Gyroscope Straight Tracker. Golfers who want to keep walking but need help on climbs should consider the E-BOOST.
How long does an MGI caddy battery last per round?
The Zip Navigator, Zip Navigator AT, Ai Navigator GPS+, and Ai Navigator Halo all use a 24V lithium battery rated for up to 36 holes per charge, depending on terrain and conditions. The E-BOOST's will boost you around 18 holes. The E-BOOST is designed for intermittent boosting, not continuous electric driving. Actual performance depends on terrain, course conditions, and frequency of boost use.
What is MGI's Gyroscope Straight Tracker?
Gyroscope Straight Tracker is MGI's patented technology that automatically keeps a remote-control caddy tracking in a straight line across slopes and uneven terrain, rather than drifting off course. It's standard across the Zip Navigator, Zip Navigator AT, and Ai Navigator lines.
