Richmond, Virginia, March 7, 2007â?¦ On the heels of debuting "The Navigator," golf’s most advanced electric walking cart, The Bag Boy Company®, a Division of Richmond, Virginia-based Dynamic Brands, and a leading designer and manufacturer of walking carts, travel covers and golf bags, today introduced The Explorer and The Cruiser, two new models in the next generation of Bag Boy’s electric walking cart family.
With the introduction of The Cruiser & The Explorer models, Bag Boy now offers a family of electric walking carts, at distinct price points, all with unique benefits that cater to the needs and preferences of walkers. The Cruiser, with a suggested retail price of $1299 is an adaptive cruise control cart, equipped with handle mounted cruise and distance control functions for 10, 20 and 30 yards, which enables the cart to maintain its natural speed at all times on all terrains. The Explorer, with a suggested retail price of $1099 is designed with "free wheel" technology, making the cart easy to maneuver, even when the motor is disengaged.
One of the exciting features available on both new cart models is a 360 degree swivel front wheel that promotes easy turning, enabling the cart to maneuver in tight areas. The carts also feature easy rolling, maintenance free 12" tires in the rear, and hi-tech, rustproof aluminum wheels with steel ball bearings. The Cruiser also features a retractable 4th wheel stabilizer which prevents the cart from tipping over, even on steep inclines.
"With the Explorer and Cruiser joining The Navigator in our electric cart line, Bag Boy now offers a distinct electric cart that will cater to all golfers," said Craig Ramsbottom, President, The Bag Boy Company. "As popularity for walking the course continues to increase, we are excited to offer golfers a line of products that can enhance their golfing experience."
Made from high modulus, ultra-lightweight aluminum tubing, the Cruiser & Explorer boast a single piece fold down design that locks in place and provides easy handling and great vertical or horizontal storage in a car trunk, garage, etc. Additionally, an adjustable handle fits golfers of varying heights, while the high strength adjustable aluminum bag brackets — equipped with quick release Velcro straps — accommodate any style golf bag.
All Bag Boy electric carts are backed by a 2-year warranty on the cart frame, motor and gearbox as well as a 1-year warranty on all other parts including the battery. In addition to the warranty, Bag Boy offers an exclusive electric cart Service Center, where skilled technicians are available to assist with any customer questions. Those questions that cannot be solved by telephone will result in the cart being returned for warranty servicing at no cost to the consumer.
The Cruiser & Explorer are both powered by a whisper quiet 140 watt motor with a 24 AMP Dry Cell battery that is covered and mounted on a battery tray along with a battery level indicator. This is complemented by a fully automatic battery and charger system that comes in its own bag with a carry handle. Both models will be available for purchase starting in April, and will be sold at green grass and golf retail shops nationwide.
