A two-wheeled golf bag cart has a support for a battery powered electric motor and it includes a gear box to the input shaft of which the motor is connected and which has axially aligned oppositely disposed output shafts. The wheels of the holder have hubs through which stub shafts extend. An intermediate shaft for each wheel has universal joints, one connecting it to the stub shaft and the other to the appropriate output shaft. The support includes an upright having a handle and a golf bag holder is connected to the support and the upright. Two links are connected to each hub with one link connected to the support and the other a slide slidable lengthwise of the upright. The slide has a lock connecting it to the upright when the linkage is positioned to space the wheels apart but releasable to enable the slide to be moved towards the handle to collapse the cart for storage with the linkage folding to bring the wheels close together and towards the handle.
A golf bag cart including a support, an upright attached to said support and including a handle, a bag holder attached to said support and said upright, a drive mounted on said support and including a battery powered electric motor, a pair of coaxial shaft portions at least one of which is part of said drive, a pair of wheels, each including a hub and a stub shaft extending therethrough, an intermediate shaft for each wheel and including universal joints, one connected to the appropriate shaft portion and one connected to the appropriate stub shaft, first and second links for each wheel and pivotally connected thereto with their pivot axes coaxial, the first links pivotally connected to the support, a slide on said upright, the second links pivotally connected to said slide, and means releasably locking said slide to said upright in a first position in which said wheels are spaced apart with said stub and shaft portions substantially coaxial, said locking means, when released, permitting said slide to be moved towards said handle into a second position in which said links are folded upwardly close to the upright and substantially parallel and with said wheels spaced substantially closer together.
