ABSTRACT:
A powered golf bag cart (10) is shown which includes a frame assembly (20), a free wheel assembly (22), a drive wheel assembly (24), a power delivery assembly (26), a steering assembly (28), and a control assembly (30). For compact storage, the frame assembly (20) of the cart (10) further includes a base portion (32), central portion (34), and handle portion (36) which collapse into one another. The power delivery assembly (26) includes a drive motor (144), located in the drive wheel assembly (24). The cart (10) is steered by the steering assembly (28) changing orientation of the drive wheel assembly (24), under control of a user operating the control assembly (30). In this manner all control and motive force is applied via a single ground contacting surface in the drive wheel assembly (24). Possible options include a parallelogram positioner (90) which permits a left free wheel (92) and a right free wheel (94) within the free wheel assembly (22) to be selectably collapsed inward against the frame assembly (20), for even more compact storage.
