What They Have in Common
Both are dual-motor electrics with remote control and downhill braking. Both fold into a compact footprint. Both carry a two-year trolley warranty. And on battery range, neither maker publishes a holes figure you can actually trust — more on that below.
Where They Differ
Price and what you get for it
The M7 lists at $2,099. The Q Follow starts at $3,049 in base black with the smaller battery, and climbs to $3,599 in other configurations. That's a $950 gap at the low end, wider if you want another colour or the larger battery. The M7 counters with built-in GPS — 40,000 courses on a 3.5-inch touchscreen — which Stewart doesn't publish for the Q Follow. The Q Follow counters with follow mode. The question is whether follow mode is worth the difference to you, because that's essentially what the extra money is buying.
Follow mode vs GPS: what each does
The M7 is a remote-control caddy with a map on it. You point it where you want it, and the screen shows you distances. The Q Follow does both — remote mode and follow mode, via a Bluetooth handset and a smartphone app — but no onboard GPS screen is published for it. If you play courses you know well and want the cart to trail you hands-free, the Q Follow has a mode Motocaddy doesn't publish for the M7. If you play unfamiliar tracks or want yardages without pulling out a phone, the M7 has the screen and Stewart doesn't list one for the Q Follow.
Size, weight, and what Motocaddy doesn't say
Folded, the Q Follow comes to 21.3 × 23.6 × 12.6 inches — 3.7 cubic feet. The M7 folds to 25.5 × 20.3 × 16.5 inches — 4.9 cubic feet. The Q Follow folds smaller by 1.2 cubic feet, and its longest single dimension is 23.6 inches against the M7's 25.5. If trunk space is tight, that matters.
On weight: the Q Follow's 31 lbs is without the battery — Stewart says so, and also notes the battery itself adds 6.6 lbs. Motocaddy prints 33 lbs and doesn't say whether the battery is in that number. Because those two figures may not measure the same thing, it would be wrong to call one heavier or lighter than the other.
On battery range: Motocaddy publishes nothing for the M7's US spec. Stewart's page still references a 384 Wh battery and 36-hole range that match neither battery the Q Follow actually ships with — so no range is recorded for it either. Both carts are in the same position: you'd be charging based on habit rather than a number you can rely on.
Motors and what the specs say
The M7 runs two 230W motors. The Q Follow runs two 190W motors, which Stewart brands EcoDrive. The M7 has more stated wattage; what that means on a hilly course isn't something either maker quantifies in terms you can compare directly.
Accessories and warranty fine print
The M7 includes an umbrella holder, cup holder, and storage console, and ships with a free accessory pack. The Q Follow's page doesn't say what's in the box on any of those — cup holder, umbrella holder, storage console are all unpublished. Motocaddy also offers a five-year warranty on the lithium battery, with the two-year trolley and charger warranty alongside. Stewart's two-year warranty applies on registration. Small things, but if you're spending this much on a cart, the battery warranty difference is worth noting.
Who Should Buy Which
Get the Motocaddy M7 GPS Remote if:
- You want onboard GPS with a dedicated touchscreen and don't want to rely on your phone for yardages
- The $950 list-price gap is meaningful — that's real money, not a rounding error
- You want a complete accessories package out of the box
- You play a mix of familiar and unfamiliar courses and distance information matters to you
Get the Stewart Q Follow if:
- Follow mode is genuinely something you'd use — you want the cart to trail you rather than you steering it
- You play courses you know, so having no published onboard GPS doesn't cost you anything
- You've budgeted for the full configuration rather than the base price
- You want a smaller folded footprint, and the Q Follow's 12.6-inch folded depth fits your trunk where the M7's 16.5 doesn't
The Bottom Line
The M7 is the lower-priced cart, and its page publishes a GPS screen, included accessories, and a five-year battery warranty. The Q Follow lists at $950 more, publishes no onboard GPS, and has follow mode instead. Follow mode is a real feature that Motocaddy doesn't publish for the M7. It's worth the gap if that's what you're after. It isn't worth it for everyone, and for most buyers it isn't worth it.
