Nick Child, Managing Director of Powabyke who manufactures the Powaryder says, ‘We are thrilled to launch the innovative product in the UK, having had fantastic success and interest with the product in the US already, The Powaryder will make a huge difference to golfers, especially those who find that lugging a golf bag around an eighteen-hole course detracts somewhat from the game!’

David Jackson, the British designer and inventor of the Powaryder said ’ It’s great to see that British technology and design still has a relevant place on the global market’’.

The Powaryder, with powerful 500w brushed electric hub motor and easy-to-use twist grip throttle on the handlebars, neatly folds up making it simple to transport and easy to store in the boot of a hatchback car.

But why choose the Powaryder over a conventional electric golf buggy? The two main benefits are that you can actually stand on it and complete all 18 holes without feeling exhausted and it is very competitively priced.

As golf continues to enjoy a rise in players, particularly from younger enthusiasts, players are looking for new innovations to increase the ease and style of an already great game.

Local golf courses are also very encouraging of the new Powaryder as it will decrease wear and tear on many golf courses and will also allow people to fit in a quick game of golf when time is limited.

The Green Machine will be launched across the UK in April 2005.
