“We’ve seen a high level of interest in the product line from PGA professionals around the country, especially those looking to set up rental fleets of the electric walking carts to mirror the revenue streams enjoyed by leading European courses,” said Roger, a former Sales Operations Director at Cobra-Puma. “The opportunity to grow the electric walking cart market in the U.S. is one that Motocaddy is determined to seize and we now have the stock and support system in place to do so,” he added.
