The Quick Verdict
Get the MGI Ai Navigator GPS+. It lists at $504 less than the M-Tech Remote, folds into a smaller footprint, carries a 36-hole battery rating by name, and ships with an umbrella holder, drink holder and phone holder already in the box. The Motocaddy M-Tech Remote is worth the extra $504 if EASILOCK bag retention or a storage console matters to your setup, or if you want its 60-month battery warranty. Check price at Amazon →
What They Have in Common
Both are powered electric caddies with remote control and built-in GPS on a touchscreen. Both carry 40,000 courses. Both include an umbrella holder and cup holder — though Motocaddy's page lists the M-Tech's as sold separately, while its standing accessory-pack offer says they're included with every purchase. Both offer a 3-year warranty on the cart itself. MGI lists an electronic park brake for the GPS+ on its comparison chart, though not the product page; Motocaddy mentions no parking brake for the M-Tech on its page or in its manual.
Where They Differ
Price and what you get for it
The MGI lists at $1,895. The Motocaddy lists at $2,399. That's a $504 gap at list, which is real money on a cart purchase. The question is what the extra $504 buys you.
The M-Tech Remote adds a storage console — the MGI's page doesn't mention one — and EASILOCK bag retention (compatible with EASILOCK-equipped bags). Both run two 230W motors and both have downhill control, though MGI lists the Navigator's motor power and downhill control only on its 2024 comparison chart, not the product page. The console and EASILOCK are tangible differences. Whether they're worth $504 depends on your course and your bag.
GPS screens
The MGI's touchscreen is 4 inches. The M-Tech's is 3.5 inches. Both carry 40,000 courses. Half an inch of diagonal is the whole difference on paper.
Folded size and trunk math
The MGI folds to 24.4 × 18.11 × 15.35 inches, for a volume of 3.9 cubic feet. The M-Tech folds to 25.5 × 20.3 × 16.5 inches, for a volume of 4.9 cubic feet. That's a 1 cubic foot difference — the MGI is the smaller fold by volume, and its longest single dimension is 24.4 inches versus 25.5 inches for the M-Tech. If trunk space is tight, the MGI has the smaller published fold.
Weight
The MGI's published 33.29 lbs is explicitly without the battery; with the battery it's 38.99 lbs. The M-Tech's page prints 34 lbs as a single figure, and Motocaddy doesn't say whether that includes the battery. Those two figures don't measure the same thing, so neither cart can be called lighter.
Battery range and downhill control
The MGI's battery is named "24V 380Wh 36 Hole Lithium" — MGI's comparison chart rates it at up to 36 holes, dependent on conditions, while the Navigator's own page states only the battery's name. The M-Tech's US page publishes no battery range in holes at all. So there's no range comparison to make.
Downhill control is on the M-Tech's product page; MGI lists it for the GPS+ too, but only on its comparison chart. On a course with a long descent, both have it on paper.
Who Should Buy Which
Get the MGI Ai Navigator GPS+ if:
- You want a full-featured remote GPS caddy and $504 matters to where you land.
- You want downhill control and a park brake at $504 less — MGI's comparison chart lists both for the GPS+.
- Trunk space is a constraint — the MGI folds a full cubic foot smaller.
- You want the larger GPS screen: 4 inches versus 3.5.
- You want everything in the box: drink holder, umbrella holder and phone holder ship with it.
Get the Motocaddy M-Tech Remote if:
- You want automatic downhill control stated on the product page you're buying from, not a comparison chart.
- You carry a bag with EASILOCK and want the retention system working as designed.
- A storage console matters to how you organize a round.
- You want the longer battery warranty: 60 months on the Motocaddy's lithium pack versus the MGI's 3-year overall warranty.
The Bottom Line
The M-Tech Remote brings EASILOCK bag retention, a storage console and a longer battery warranty; its dual 230W motors and downhill control are matched by the GPS+, if only on MGI's comparison chart. If your course earns those features, the $504 premium is a reasonable trade. For most rounds on most courses, the MGI Ai Navigator GPS+ gets you remote control, built-in GPS on a bigger screen, a smaller fold, and a stated battery rating — at $504 less. It's the default pick here.
