Abstract
A three-wheel golf bag cart is shown which includes power means centrally slung thereunder for maximum stability of the cart, and wherein the power means does not impede cart folding for transport and storage. A flexible elongated control cable to a hand-held control permits the golfer to effect off-on or multiple forward speed control while still retaining the ability to manually guide the cart, both by the cart handle and by tension on the control cable.
