My husband has the Bag Boy push speed cart and we compared my new Sun Mountain speed cart to his. There were pluses and minuses with both. First of all, my new Sun Mountain cart has a tighter, more reliable brake. Also, I have been told by others who own a Sun Mountain cart that this company will back up their product. For example, should you get a flat tire, you can send it to them for a free replacement for up to a year (not sure if it's good for longer). Moreover, if you buy their Sun Mountain cart bags, they supposedly fit perfect onto their push cart. I would have to agree only slightly with this opinion. It's an okay fit; the bags do not meld perfectly into the clips that hold the bag in place (which I had expected from all the opinions about Sun Mt.). The older models of this cart are underwhelming. They had designed those carts with bungee cords to hold your bag in place. However, the brackets on my 2008 cart were ridiculously designed because you have to dial these teeny-tiny knobs to tighten down the brackets (Heaven help men with their big thumbs). In this respect, my husband's push cart is better because it includes a wide velcro strap to hold your bag in the cart. Another option for golfers is the push cart by ClicGear, but I discovered it was too difficult to fold up.

A good cart if you can keep the tires inflated. A completely useless and frustrating cart if the tires go flat (which they do all the time). They acknowledge the problem but offer only a solution which involves buying a $50 set of foam filled tires. Why don't they put reliable run flats on the cart in the first place if they can't find a supplier for reliable inner tubes. I resent sun mountain for all the grief they have heaped on otherwise pleasant golf outings. They will send you some free inner tubes that go flat within a short while. Also the valves for putting air in the tires are almost impossible to connect the pump to. A simple right angle converter would solve this problem but apparently the engineers at SM don't play golf or use their own carts. Do not buy this item until they solve the flat tire issue. It will drive you nuts.

I have had 2 sun mountain carts for several years and have had extreme dificulty inflating the tires every time that I needed to. I wrote to the company and they replied that I would have to buy a 2 kits(1 for each cart) to fix this problem and it would cost me $104 total to fix it. I would not recommend buying this cart until they get the problem with the inflatable wheels fixed or it will cost you $52 per cart for you to fix their design problem.

I own this cart and have also fought with the flat tires. I love the cart but they would not stay inflated.... very annoying, Well, I finally bought a small can of fix a flat for bikes and treated the culprit tires and voila!... my tires stay inflated. I did not get the stellar customer assistance from sun mountain and I did not want to spend the cash on foam replacements.... good for a year so far. Hope this helps

I've owned the Sun Mountain Speed Cart for three years now. It's seen major use all three years and like others have said, the tires going flat is the most irritating thing about it. However, pulling out the pump and inflating the tires isn't that big of a deal but it shouldn't have to be done every couple weeks. The other minor bug is that my cart pulls to the right quite a bit and the hand brake needs adjusting often. I probably would go with a Clic-Gear next time, but I've gotten my money's worth on the Sun Mountain cart so don't feel too bad.
