PowaKaddy was a little late to the remote electric trolley market when it launched the RX1 and RX1 GPS in 2024. Competitors like Motocaddy and Stewart Golf had remote-controlled trolleys in production for several years before, but the RX1 put itself straight in line with them, such was its quality. PowaKaddy has given its RX series a complete revamp in 2025, and the RX12 GPS leads the line. Both the GPS screen and remote functionality have been given an overhaul, so how did it perform out on the course?
The first thing I noticed before even revving it up was the new screen in the handle. Much like the CT12 GPS I also recently tested, the trolley benefits from PowaKaddy's new 5-inch portrait touchscreen. As I said in my CT12 GPS review, I simply love the new orientation and size of the touchscreen. It just makes so much sense to have it in a portrait orientation as it allows you to see so much more of the full hole mapping on the GPS in so much more detail. That it's 5 inches is another benefit, and the 720p HD display offers crystal clear maps that are a joy to use. It's a powerful machine too, rocking a 1.1GHz processor that means the responsiveness to commands is akin to that of a premium smartphone.
