The latest innovation for the golf course
Transportation options for the golf club have historically, been limited – the choice was simply which golf buggy to get. Now, there’s another option and it’s an exciting prospect for your golf club.
The KAASPEED electric golf scooter is a unique mode of transport, designed to be a sure-fire hit with members. It’s different and fun, but entirely practical – and gives golf courses a chance to stand out, for all the right reasons.
Value
There’s no doubt about it, you have to provide a reliable transportation option for guests to traverse the course. Up until now the choice has been limited to a golf buggy and price was generally much of a muchness.
With the arrival of the KAASPEED electric golf scooter however, Reesink e-Vehicles has a contemporary alternative which, at the third of the price of a standard buggy, offers clubs the chance to make the more economical, budget-friendly choice.
With the average UK golf course having a fleet of between 10 and 20 buggies, a saving of a third on those numbers frees up considerable budget to allocate elsewhere. So, if you need a selling point to lead with when next discussing course transportation options with the board and/or greens committee, this is probably the one to go with.
We’re guessing that when it comes to finding such a simple change to make such immediate and effective financial savings and provide significant value for the budget, this one will be hard to beat.
Kind to your course
Studies show that golf buggies potentially cause damage to grass with their weight and tyre wear. They can cause surface scarring and soil compaction which affects root growth. Symptoms of tyre wear include leaf tissue matting and a subsequent exposure of underlying thatch as leaf blades are bruised. This reduces the shoot growth rate and the recuperative potential of grass.
Rather than limit or reduce fleet numbers and therefore transportation options, why not make the lightweight choice?
With a light buggy weighing in at 770kg and the average buggy weighing around 1000kg, we’re thinking you might be surprised to learn the weight of a KAASPEED scooter… it’s just 45kg! Thus meaning an entire fleet of scooters could weigh in total less than one buggy!
Goodbye scuffing
KAASPEED scooters can be used on all types of terrain thanks to having the choice of two types of tyres.
The Scorpion tyre offers excellent traction for woodland and sandy surfaces, while the standard plain tread tyres are perfect for flat ground with turf protection.
This level of personalisation to your course means minimal scuffing and risk of grass damage.
Reading the greens
It goes without saying these scooters are battery powered and allow you to put a valuable tick in the sustainability box.
It boasts a car-grade 48V LG cell lithium-ion battery, which is cleverly stowed in the footrest, is low-profile and high-density for the optimal mix of strength and endurance.
It is long-lasting with a long range – a maximum of 36 miles – and can be charged on board or easily removed to be charged away from the vehicle.
It charges to full on a single charge of six hours and has a lifecycle span of 1000 charges, plus a smart battery management system that is temperature resistant.
The motor is highly efficient with more torque for maximum hill climbing capacity – tackling sloping terrain of up to 22 percent!
Speed control
It’s probably about time we covered off the elephant in the room… What about speed control and making sure e-scooter use around your course is sensible?
Well, KAASPEED has that little problem neatly covered off. A swipe card allows you to decide and set a maximum speed for safety. You can make changes at your discretion and, as we’re about to come on to, you can adjust the speed to the top speed of 26mph when the scooter is taken out on the road.
Hit the road
Yes, that’s right the KAASPEED has yet another USP up its sleeve – it can be made entirely road legal for very little cost and distributor Reesink can handle this on the customers’ behalf.
For golf clubs with split sites and roads to cross this is an invaluable benefit.
It’s oh so quiet
As you’d expect e-scooters reduce operational noise to the point of being virtually silent. This creates a far more pleasant ride for the user but also addresses a real concern for clubs that are a Site of Special Scientific Interest who have to consider wildlife disruption.
Easy to use
A radius front tyre and a solid tyre wall on the rear create the self-balancing profile of the KAASPEED.
Add to that, the fat tyres and a low centre of gravity means riding, manoeuvring, stopping, starting and parking the KAASPEED is easy.
The flat rear tyre combination means it stands up on its own without a kickstand, just can just get off and walk away.
While it is easy to use, it is also incredibly good fun with some comparing it to the feeling and sensation of surfing!
Travel in style
While we’ve covered the value of the KAASPEED, we haven’t yet covered the quality or in fact its appearance.
Clever ergonomics and multiple colourways combine to bring a stylish transport option to your course.
The frame is the only one of its kind on the market and is made from aircraft-grade strong aluminium. Not only is it stronger, lighter and more durable, but it is also highly resistant to corrosion, stress and cracking.
It encases all the cables neatly for clean lines.
All the extras
The KAASPEED electric scooter is a cost-effective transport solution that requires next to no maintenance. That in itself is a win. Add in all the accessories and users it becomes almost too good to be true!
Every ride can be tailor-made should you wish: bluetooth speakers, rearview mirrors, throttle locks and front fitting carry cases are just the start. But its bread and butter is a supremely comfortable seat, easy steer and a simple interchangeable ‘quick attach’ system enabling a golf bag to be attached.
