The Golf Skate Caddy GSC™ Tourer is an innovative, electric, single-player golf transport vehicle designed to enhance the golf experience, improve game pace, and potentially reduce handicaps. It offers a unique alternative to traditional golf carts and other ride-on units, combining elements of electric board, motor, battery, and dynamic technology.
Function Description:
The GSC™ Tourer allows golfers to stand on a stable platform while holding custom-designed handlebars with integrated thumb controllers. These controllers enable safe and precise control over speed and braking. The vehicle is designed for single-rider use, allowing golfers to travel directly to their own ball, saving time by eliminating the need to zigzag across fairways for two balls. This can shorten a game by up to 20%. The ergonomic handlebars provide stability, while the thumb controllers manage acceleration and braking. The GSC™ Tourer is equipped with electromagnetic brakes, which are applied via the left-hand thumb controller, and an electronic park brake that engages when the trigger controller is released, preventing the unit from rolling away. It also features forward and reverse modes, controlled by a two-position switch on the right handlebar. A "soft start" feature ensures a smooth, gradual acceleration, which is gentle on the grass and prevents wheel spin.

- Handlebar Controls: Two hard-wired, proportionally controlled thumb controllers for throttle (right-hand) and emergency park brake (left-hand).
- Weight Distribution for Turning: Shifting weight to the rear foot momentarily and positioning the ball of the foot or heel to the left or right edge of the board maximizes turning ability.
- Safety Features: Controlled drag brake when the throttle is released, electromagnetic park brake, and soft start for smooth acceleration. Riders are advised to always park adjacent to hills, never directly up or down.
- Golf Bag Integration: Designed to work best with a golf bag secured into the front caddy section, which provides counterweight for turning and helps loosen the suspension.
