The Motocaddy M1 has always been designed around one key idea: making electric golf trolley technology simple, compact and easy to use. For 2026, Motocaddy has taken that proven formula and added a number of useful upgrades, particularly around the display, distance tracking, security and overall design.
If you're considering upgrading from the 2024 M1 to the new 2026 M1, here are the key differences.
🆕 1. A Bigger, More Informative Display
The 2024 M1 features a widescreen LCD display with nine speed settings and a battery meter.
The 2026 M1 introduces a larger 2.8-inch LCD widescreen display, giving the trolley a more modern interface and providing additional information at a glance.
The new display includes:
Nine speed settings
Clock
Round timer
Battery information
Drive distance
Round distance
Lifetime distance
This makes the 2026 M1 much more informative while you're playing.
🔐 2. New CartLock Security PIN
One of the biggest functional additions for 2026 is CartLock.
The new M1 allows you to set a four-digit security PIN, helping protect the trolley from unauthorised use or theft. This feature wasn't part of the 2024 M1's feature set.
⚙️ 3. Updated Styling & Handle Design
The 2024 M1 already introduced automotive-inspired styling, ergonomic handle grips and sporty tyres.
For 2026, Motocaddy has taken the design further with a sleeker automotive-inspired appearance, redesigned ergonomic grips and new sporty 10-spoke wheels.
The result is a more premium and modern-looking M1 while retaining the compact M-Series design.
🔋 4. Proven Power & Battery Technology
Both generations use Motocaddy's CLICK 'N' CONNECT® cable-free lithium battery system, with automatic battery disconnect and a pop-up charging port.
The 2026 model continues with Motocaddy's 28V high-power system and 230W motor, so the upgrade isn't about dramatically increasing motor power — it's about improving the overall user experience and functionality.
⛳ 5. The Features Golfers Already Love Are Still There
The 2026 M1 retains many of the practical features that made the previous M1 popular:
Compact folding design
Nine-speed control
Adjustable Distance Control up to 45 yards
Pause & Resume
USB charging
Adjustable handle height
Space-saving inverting wheels
Auto-open stand
EASILOCK® bag connection
Optional M-Series Anti-Tip Wheel compatibility
Free Accessory Station
So, the 2026 M1 isn't a complete redesign of the concept — it's an evolution of an already proven electric trolley.

Is the 2026 M1 Worth the Upgrade?
For golfers who already own a 2024 M1, the 2026 model doesn't completely reinvent the trolley — the core performance and compact design remain familiar.
However, the larger display, distance tracking, round timer, lifetime tracking and CartLock security PIN make the 2026 M1 a considerably smarter and more informative trolley.
For someone buying their first M1, the 2026 model offers the most complete version yet.
The M1 has evolved. The simplicity remains. The technology has moved forward.
