Congratulations on becoming the owner of a Superbug Electric golf trolley.
The lightweight, powerful Superbug has controllability and ease of use that is second to 

none.
Please take some time to read this manual carefully so that you will get the most from 

your Superbug.  If you have any problems or queries, please call your retailer.

•  Do not drop or damage the fully sealed batteries as they contain acid which will 

burn the skin and could cause blindness.  Never attempt to open the battery case or 

incinerate the battery.

•  Always charge the batteries in a well ventilated area.  During normal use the battery 

is effectively sealed and practically no gases or acid escape from the case making 

it very safe.  In the event of a charger or battery malfunction however explosive gas 

may be released. 

•  Keep the battery away from sparks, flames and dangerous chemicals.
•  Always switch off the power at the mains before connecting or disconnecting the 

charger.

•  Do not put anything metalic near the battery terminals as this risks short circuiting 

the battery with the risk of fire or explosion.

•  In operation, ensure that the trolley is under control at all times.  If it allowed to 

collide with other people or property then injury or damage may occur.

•  Superbug is designed to carry a golf bag of upto 15Kg - overloading the trolley 

may cause damage and will invalidate the warranty.

Superbug is designed for the player to walk behind and steer by moving the D-Handle 

in the desired direction of travel.
The controls are on the D-Handle and are arranged for either a left or right handed 

operator.  All of the weight is taken on the three wheels at all times so the player only 

has to operate the controls and steer.  The two, large diameter front wheels roll freely 

whilst drive is from the single steering wheel at the back.
The motor is contained within the rear wheel and drives magnetically with no gears, 

brushes or gears to wear out or create noise.

Welcome to the world of low stress golf
