The GolfGlide Is
the Answer Nobody
Is Looking For
Anyway, it’s a dedicated golfing
scooter. It was designed for
golf. So, sadly, it probably won’t
be street legal. Amongst the
other touted but non-ball-wash-
ing features are:
• Dual driving positions: [sit-
ting] and standing, like… every
other motorcycle ever?
• Unique E Brake, allows the
car to stand still in inclined po-
sitions, like most scooters you’ll
come across!
• Integrated scorecard holder,
tee holder, ball holder, drink
holder. Although, seriously, I
could use a drink holder on more
For those of you who have said to yourselves, “Self? I think my cur-
rent golf cart is too carty, and I need something less typical and way,
way goofier,” the GolfGlide CGV, or Compact Golf Vehicle may be for
you. I swear to you this is what it is actually called and I am not mak-
ing this up. It exists at that point between your traditional motorcycle
with a luggage rack to which you’ve managed to strap your golf bag
and that purpose-built golf cart that probably won’t get you kicked
off the course, but might, the way you drive it. Right. Ready?
The inventor of said Compact Golf Vehicle (I can’t get over that this is
a real acronym yet, give me a second) insists the first prototypes will
be released in March. That’s next month. For now, all we have are
some renderings, which purport to have a “beautiful modern de-
sign” but in fact remind me of the scooter Sarah Connor rode in The
Terminator. I think it was a mid-80s Honda (It is, in fact, a first-gen
Honda Elite - JM).
of my bikes.
• In seat Cooler that fits up to
7 cans of any drink. OK, you got
me here. We all need this.
• Sand/Seed dispenser. I’m not
a golfer, so I’m guessing this is
for when, absent the ball you just
sliced, you lob your divot into the
woods in anger.
• Umbrella stand. I mean, who
doesn’t need an umbrella stand?
• Uses traditional golf cart tires
for tight cornering and excellent
handling. I would absolutely not
track down some very knobby ATV
tires with the same wheel diame-
ter… and get kicked off the course
for tearing up the greens.
While I have so very many ques-
tions, the one that pops to mind
first and foremost is, doesn’t
Harley have the copyrights to
the name “Glide” when it comes
to forms of two-wheeled trans-
portation?
At any rate: Motorcyclists who
are also golfers, here’s yet
another dedicated golf scooter
that might be more fun than
a cart. We’ll certainly keep you
posted if it ever makes its way
out of the 3D renders.
