QOD
Winner of the prestigious Golf Europe
Product Award for Trolleys 2013, the
Australian owned and designed QOD is the
world’s smallest electronic golf trolley.
QOD takes only a few seconds to assemble,
and measures an amazing 27cm x 30cm x
42cm. Powered by the lightest lithium-ion
batteries of its kind, QOD is a single piece
of modular construction, which has been
designed with three key factors in mind –
simplicity, compactability and reliability.
The use of high-tech components including
telescopic designed wheels and body, a
whisper-quiet motor and continuous pace
control has also given it a unique edge over
other trolleys in the market.
This leading-edge electronic trolley
continues to capture the attention and
interests of golfers from around the world
since it was released into the market.
Currently, golfers in more than 10 countries
across Europe, the Americas, Asia and
Australia are enjoying the benefits of the
QOD innovation.

Established in 1979,
Parmaker have built
their buggies 100% from
the ground up in their
Melbourne factory. No
imported or inferior
foreign parts; no snaptogether or flimsy
components. Just longlasting, sturdy products
that are completely
“Australian made” and
built to last.
Parmaker are so
confident in the quality
and reliability of their
products that they offer
a five-year extended warranty on all their
buggies. For the average golf fanatic, a fiveyear warranty can mean almost 1,000 games
of trouble-free golf (well, trouble-free as far
as the buggy is concerned – that wicked
banana-slice of yours is another story!)
Parmaker offers a variety of motorised
buggies and walkers, from the powerful
Scout/SE walker models, to the ride-on Spirit/
Ghia (three-wheel) and Explorer (four-wheel)
vehicles. You can purchase a Parmaker either
from their factory or on the internet, and
the product range includes a large range of
optional extras to make your golf even more
enjoyable. A five-year warranty is as low as
$69 on a Scout SE, $99 on a Scout and $299
on a ride-on. The warranty covers all parts
and labour for units purchased directly from
the Parmaker factory (or from parmaker.com).
And the warranty itself is as reliable as the
buggy itself. Unlike some warranties that
are full of loopholes or escape clauses, if you
have an issue with your Parmaker you can
either ring the company (small technical
issues can often be identified and fixed over
the phone) or bring/send it to the factory.
If you bring it in person, most problems are
rectified ‘while you wait’. If you aren’t able
to visit in person, then simply send it to
Parmaker; they will fix it and return it to you
ASAP, often within 72 hours.
To ensure their products are constantly
scrutinised and that research and
development opportunities are grasped at
every turn, Parmaker has eployed a team
of industry experts for each step of the
manufacturing cycle. In recent years this level
of expertise has led to overall improvements
in electronics, lightweight materials and
mechanics as well as specific advancements
such as downhill brakes on walkers and
electronic brakes for ride-ons. They also
develop innovations as a result of customer
feedback, which has led to improvements
like custom-built handles for left or righthanders, electronic controllers that inform
you how your Parmaker is ‘feeling’, solid
rubber wheels that can’t be punctured and
front wheel suspension for rough terrain.
