Superbug folds in just a few seconds to a tiny package to fit in very small cars and for 

easy storage.
All controls are located on the D-Handle (Fig 2).  There are two on/off switches, 

variable speed control and the auxillary function button.

Power Switches:

There are two power switches to make the Superbug user friendly to left and right 

handed golfers.  The switches are marked “O” for off and “I” for on.  The Superbug 

will drive when both switches are in the on “I” position.

Speed Control:

The Speed is set by a roller in the centre of the D-Handle 

(Fig 3).  This can be set to adjust the speed of the trolley 

from about 2kph to 7kph. The actual speed of the trolley 

will depend on the speed setting and the terrain.

Auxilliary Functions:

The function of the auxilliary function button differs with each model in the Superbug 

Range as follows:
