Pros of the Clicgear Model 8.0+ Push Cart
The Clicgear Model 8.0+ Push Cart excels in a few areas:
Advanced Braking System: The brakeing system on this push cart is truly unmatched. With a handle mounted braking system, you don’t have to worry about your foot brake pedal braking off or getting caught up in a stick. You only need to worry about your round and where you are going to hit next!
Sturdy design: This push cart looks like a beast and it really is. Everything on the cart looks and feels solid. Some push carts feel flimsy and feel like they may brake if they flip over. Not the Clicgear 8+, this push cart feels like you can throw it out of your car and it will be fine (please do not actually throw the cart out of your car, results may vary).
Accessory Options: Like most Clicgear push carts, the amount of accessories you can add onto this push cart is unmatched by any other brand. With accessories ranging from a cooler and a nice seat to a sand bottle, you really can have every luxury of a gas powered golf cart in this push cart.
Cons of the Clicgear Model 8.0+ Push Cart
While this push cart does excel in a few areas, the Clicgear Model 8.0+ Push Cart does have a few few drawbacks:
Price: The price on this push cart is high. Four wheel push carts do offer a lot of advantages compared to 3 wheel push carts, but is the price tag worth it?
Poor Stand Bag Design: While this isn’t true for every bag, some customers have reported that their stand bags struggled to fit correctly into the harness of the push cart.
Heavy – by push cart standards: Four wheel push carts are naturally going to be heavier than 3 wheeled push carts. While, the Clicgear 8.0+ is heavy, it is somewhat light by 4 wheeled standards.

Clicgear Model 8+ Features
Frame
The Clicgear Model 8 is a light 4 wheel push cart, but a heavier cart in general. At 22 pounds, this is a significant jump from the little brother model, the Clicgear 3.5+. This makes the Model 8+ one of the heaviest push carts we tested to date. The additional size relative to existing Clicgear carts is purely from the fourth wheel.
Brake
One of the best features of this push cart is the hand brake that is located on the handle. Most push carts have a foot brake – not the Clicgear 8+! This push cart’s hand brake is world class. It does not take a lot to stop the push cart and activate the brake. Even on hills, this push cart stays upright and the brake doesn’t cause the push cart to turn over due to a unbalanced load.
Wheels
This four wheel push cart is designed with two different sized wheels. All wheels are airless and maintenance-less wheels. These wheels are great on any terrain, from mud to the first cut. These wheels will help keep your cart moving effortlessly as you walk your round.
Folding Design
The Clicgear 8.0 push cart folds down with a few easy steps. Clicgear really knows how to design these push carts to fold down into the most compact version of the cart.
Weight And Dimensions
This push cart is light for a 4 wheel push cart, weighing in at 22 pounds and the dimensions are 27″ x 17″ x 15″.
