The Quick Verdict
Get the Motocaddy M-Tech Remote. At $2,399 list it undercuts the Stewart Q Follow by $650 on the base configuration — and that gap widens to as much as $1,200 once other colours and the larger battery come into it. You get remote control, a built-in GPS touchscreen, automatic downhill control, and a three-year warranty. The Q Follow is worth it if follow mode is a feature you'll actually use every round, not just one you like the idea of.
What They Have in Common
Both are twin-motor remote-control electric caddies with downhill braking. Both fold, and both makers publish the folded dimensions. Neither has a hole-range figure you can rely on, so you're working from battery specs rather than a mileage claim from either maker.
Where They Differ
Price and what you're getting for it
The M-Tech Remote lists at $2,399. The Q Follow lists at $3,049 — and that's the base battery, in black. Stewart's own page notes that other colours and the 307 Wh battery push the list price as high as $3,599. That's a gap of $650 at the floor and $1,200 at the ceiling, which is real money at any price point.
What the M-Tech Remote puts on the table for that lower price: two 230 W motors, a 3.5-inch GPS touchscreen with 40,000 courses loaded, a USB-C rechargeable remote with 100-metre-plus range, adaptive terrain stability, automatic downhill control, and a storage console, umbrella holder and cup holder — with the wrinkle that Motocaddy's page lists the umbrella and drink holders as sold separately while its standing accessory-pack offer says they're included with every purchase. Bag retention uses Motocaddy's Easilock system. The three-year warranty on the trolley and charger — five years on the lithium battery — is longer than what the rest of the Motocaddy range gets.
What the Q Follow adds over that: follow mode. Stewart lists a Bluetooth Class 1 handset alongside it. If you walk ahead and want the bag to come to you rather than you steering it, that's the feature. It also has a smartphone app. The motors are 190 W each versus the M-Tech Remote's 230 W — there's no usable hole range for either cart, so the practical difference there is unclear. The Q Follow's battery is a LiFePO4 chemistry (SmartPower), which Stewart prices at 230 Wh base or 307 Wh for the upgrade. Stewart's page has also printed a 384 Wh figure and a 36-hole claim that match neither battery currently sold, so no range is recorded here.
Folded size
The Q Follow folds smaller by volume — 3.7 cu ft against the M-Tech Remote's 4.9 cu ft, a difference of 1.2 cu ft. In dimensions: the Q Follow folds to 21.3 × 23.6 × 12.6 in; the M-Tech Remote to 25.5 × 20.3 × 16.5 in. The longest single dimension is 25.5 in on the Motocaddy versus 23.6 in on the Stewart, so if trunk depth is the constraint, the Q Follow has the edge there. The Q Follow's smallest side is 12.6 in against the M-Tech Remote's 16.5 in, while the Motocaddy is the narrower of the two on the middle figure — 20.3 in against 21.3 in.
Weight
The M-Tech Remote's published weight is 34 lbs, and Motocaddy doesn't say whether that figure includes the battery. The Q Follow weighs 31 lbs without the battery, and Stewart notes the battery adds 6.6 lbs — call it roughly 37.6 lbs with power. Because these figures aren't measuring the same thing, neither cart can be called lighter here.
GPS, accessories, and what's in the box
The M-Tech Remote has GPS built in: 3.5-inch touchscreen, 40,000 courses. That alone is a meaningful included accessory — a standalone GPS unit would be a separate purchase. Stewart doesn't publish a GPS for the Q Follow. Stewart doesn't publish whether the Q Follow includes an umbrella holder, cup holder, or storage console, so those can't be compared.
Stewart lists the Q Follow's downhill braking against Follow mode. Motocaddy lists automatic downhill control for the M-Tech Remote with no mode attached.
Who Should Buy Which
Get the Motocaddy M-Tech Remote if:
- You want remote control, GPS, and downhill control without spending $3,000+
- Built-in GPS on a 3.5-inch screen means one less device to carry — no watch, no handheld
- Your course is hilly and you want the automatic downhill control Motocaddy lists with no mode attached
- A three-year trolley warranty and five-year battery warranty matters to you
- Trunk space is a factor but not the deciding one — it folds to 25.5 in at its longest
Get the Stewart Q Follow if:
- Follow mode is something you'll use every round — the cart tracks you rather than waiting for a remote command
- Your trunk has a tighter length constraint and 23.6 in works where 25.5 in doesn't
- You're already budgeted at the $3,000+ level and the LiFePO4 battery chemistry is a draw
- You want a cart hand-built in Great Britain and that matters to you
The Bottom Line
The Q Follow is the higher-priced cart, and follow mode is a genuine differentiator — not a spec you can replicate on the M-Tech Remote. If that's the feature you're buying, the extra $650 (or more) makes sense. For everyone else, the M-Tech Remote covers the same electric caddy ground — remote control, downhill braking, built-in GPS — at a lower list price, with an umbrella holder, cup holder and storage console on its published list and a longer warranty. The weight comparison can't be made cleanly, the Q Follow folds a bit smaller, and the motors are different on paper. None of that closes the price gap on its own.
