COLORADO SPRINGS, CO – World Golf and Sand Creek Golf Course started with 4 ebikes that paid for themselves quickly, then added 6 more to keep up with the demand. Mike Fontana, PGA Professional and President of World Golf reports, “They paid off fast and became all profit. But we had a problem. Our golfers wanted to rent them but they were already out, so we added 6 more for a total of 10 GolfEbikes and expect they will continue to grow in popularity as the word spreads throughout our part of Colorado.”
Step-through GolfEbikes have become the leading single-rider golf device in the world in a very short time. They are more fun and far less expensive than the scooters and boards that have entered the market in the past few years. They are easy to ride, safe with dual hydraulic disk brakes, and are less than half the pounds per square inch impact on the turf as a golf cart. They speed up the game because you can ride straight to your own shot rather than sitting and waiting half the time watching your cart mate play golf.
The proprietary golf bag carrier hooks on the side of the rear rack and carriers a full bag of clubs in the upright position while riding. You don’t feel the weight on the side because balance is automatic on a bicycle. When you get to your shot, the bag carrier tilts out and becomes a stable kick stand, even on uneven ground. It was developed by Steve Divnick of DivnickGolf who invented the popular “Whole-In-One Adjustable and Telescopic Golf Club” that lets you play the whole game with just one club. Divnick has several patents in a variety of product lines, so developing a bag carrier system for ebikes was right up his alley.
While the majority of current sales have been to individuals who ride or transport their ebike to the golf course, more and more golf courses are realizing there is easy money to be made by renting golf ebikes. As indicated by the experience of World Golf and Sand Creek Golf Course, ebikes pay for themselves very quickly, in addition to attracting new golfers to the course.
Fontana adds, “Based on our experience, I would recommend GolfEbikes to any golf course wanting to attract golfers and offer a new and fun experience.
GolfEbikes will be exhibiting at the PGA Show in January, booth 3152. If you would like to test ride a bike on Tuesday’s Demo Day, please contact us to set up an appointment.

He has added several other telescopic shafts over the years, including the 5-Foot long BIG STIK which is the “World Longest Production Driver” and is completely illegal. It is most-often used as an exhibition club for fund raising at charity golf outings. He just recently built a custom 7-Foot driver for LIV Golf that has been featured in social media being swing by Bryson DeChambeau.
