The Quick Verdict
Get the Motocaddy M7 Remote. It lists at $1,699 — $196 less than the MGI — and brings 360° rotating twin front wheels, a retractable anti-tip wheel, EASILOCK bag retention, a storage console, and a five-year battery warranty. The MGI Ai Navigator GPS+ is worth the extra $196 if you want built-in GPS on a 4-inch touchscreen and you'd rather not carry a separate device or watch. That's a real tradeoff. For most golfers, the M7 Remote's lower list price and five-year battery warranty are the more useful things to have, since both carts run twin 230W motors with downhill control.

What They Have in Common
Both are remote-control electric caddies with a stated range north of 100 metres. The MGI includes an umbrella holder and a cup holder; Motocaddy's page lists both as sold separately for the M7 Remote, while its standing accessory-pack offer says they come with every purchase. Both fold. Both carry a multi-year warranty. Either one handles the "I don't want to push" brief.
Where They Differ
GPS and display
The MGI has a 4-inch touchscreen with GPS for 40,000 courses built in. That's the headline feature. If you currently use a handheld GPS or pay a subscription for a watch app, the MGI consolidates that onto the cart itself — you glance down instead of reaching into your pocket. The Motocaddy M7 Remote has an LCD display but no built-in GPS.
Motors, downhill control, and wheels
Both run two 230W motors, and both have downhill control — the M7's automatic downhill control manages its own speed on descents, and the MGI's twin 230W motors, park brake and downhill speed control appear on MGI's 2024 comparison chart rather than the product page. That electronic park brake is one thing the MGI lists and Motocaddy doesn't publish for the M7 Remote. The M7's wheel setup is worth noting too: 360° rotating twin front wheels and a retractable anti-tip rear wheel. The MGI uses a five-wheel design with a swivelling front wheel.
Battery and range
The MGI's battery is rated for up to 36 holes — the figure is in the battery's name and on MGI's comparison chart, dependent on conditions; the product page itself states only the battery's name. It's a 24V lithium pack. Motocaddy doesn't publish a hole-range figure for the M7 Remote on the US page, so there's no gap to quote. The M7's battery connects cable-free via a Click 'N' Connect system and carries a 60-month warranty. MGI lists a three-year manufacturer's warranty.
Bag retention and storage
The Motocaddy uses EASILOCK bag retention and includes a storage console. The MGI has an adjustable upper bag support with straps and a lower bag strap; MGI doesn't publish a storage console for it.
Folded size
The MGI folds to 24.4 × 18.11 × 15.35 inches — 3.9 cubic feet by volume. The M7 Remote folds to 25.5 × 20.3 × 16.5 inches — 4.9 cubic feet. The MGI is smaller by about a cubic foot, and its longest dimension (24.4 inches) is about an inch shorter than the M7's (25.5 inches). If boot space is tight, both numbers go the MGI's way.
Weight
The MGI weighs 33.29 lbs without the battery, or 38.99 lbs with it. Motocaddy prints 31 lbs but doesn't say whether that figure includes the battery. Because they don't measure the same thing, neither can be called lighter.
Who Should Buy Which
Get the Motocaddy M7 Remote if:
- You want 360° rotating twin front wheels and a retractable anti-tip rear wheel
- You use a GPS watch or phone app and don't need another GPS screen
- You want the lower list price and a five-year battery warranty
- EASILOCK bag retention and a built-in storage console are things you'd actually use
- You want the motor spec on the product page itself — MGI's twin 230W figure sits on its comparison chart
Get the MGI Ai Navigator GPS+ if:
- Built-in GPS with a 4-inch touchscreen is the feature you're buying around — you want course maps on the cart, not on a separate device
- An electronic park brake on the spec sheet matters to you — MGI's comparison chart lists one
- Folded size is a deciding factor and that extra cubic foot matters in your boot
- A single three-year manufacturer's warranty suits you better than the split trolley/battery structure
The Bottom Line
The Motocaddy M7 Remote is the default here. 360° rotating front wheels, a retractable anti-tip wheel, EASILOCK bag retention, a storage console, and a five-year battery warranty — all at $196 less than the MGI at list. The MGI Ai Navigator GPS+ makes a strong case if the built-in GPS screen is genuinely useful to you, and it does fold smaller. But GPS is a feature you can get other ways, and on motors and downhill control these two match: twin 230W motors with downhill control on both.
