I actually purchased the silicone upgrade kit for the 3.5 which gave it the bag straps of the 4.0, so basically This meant I didn’t need to upgrade to the 4.0 as it made the other improvements not justifiable for the price.
Just bought a Clicgear 4. A quality bit of kit. When it’s unfolded it looks quite big, with sturdy wheels and a wide and long wheelbase. I’m amazed it folds up into a small cube. Small enough to fit into the trunk of a Miata or MX-5. I love the mesh netting, handy for quickly throwing things in while on the move and it’s is deep enough that they don’t accidentally fall out. Like your golf ball and tees while walking to the next hole. Bizarrely the cup holder is tiny, maybe it’s designed for a 330ml beer bottle rather than a gym / cycling sized water bottle. The umbrella holder is ok, as long as you make sure the rubber band stays over and behind the umbrella handle to hold it in place.
Just got a 3.5+ new $200. Pretty much just cosmetic upgrades and easy minor tinker fixes you could perform yourself bette,r to your own personal taste. For example I'd replace the magnets with much stronger ones. I can just buy the rubber umbrella attachment. I prefer the bungee style ropes, over the rubber/silicone straps. They wear out easily and lose their firm elasticity, especially outdoors in direct sunlight. I haven't had any brake issues yet. Maybe some had that issue. Overall, they make a nice looking and solid product. The design is good and I n understand the pressure to alway come up with something "new", but they should forget about that and keep doing what makes then good. The only thing more I'd like to see more of would be more color customization options for frames, wheels, tires, tire sidewalls, cooler bags and the list goes on. Because, this is the Golf life. If it isn't broke, don't fix it.
Always wondered the difference. I’ve had the 3.5+ since it came out and love it. I never had an issue with the top storage opening or the straps to hold the bag, and I’ve owned dozens of different bags since owning it. The rubber card holder on it is a nice improvement, but I keep my score digitally, so don’t really need it. The adjustable bag holder top is nice but I never had a problem with different bags from tour bags, to cart bags, to carry bags. I don’t see a reason to upgrade. Nothing is wrong with mine. Never had an issue with the brakes, and I bought the updated umbrella tube with the newer rubber holder…
Thank you for the comment Andrew. It seems like the demand has gone crazy and these are sold out everywhere. Don’t pay the ridiculous eBay prices. Best of luck on your hunt to find one soon!
I have the 4.0 and my daughter has the 3.5. Appreciate the comparison and learning about the differences. Also learned some things about them that I didn’t know. Thanks for the video.
Just so you know, the things you call strings it’s actually called shock cord. It is basically like a super strong rubber band with stretchy material over it. But great video by the way I just bought a 4.0 cause I’m just now getting into walk golf.. can’t wait for that bad boy to get here!
another significant difference is there's more clearance between the bottom of your bag and the front wheel on the 4.0. If you have a heavy bag then it's possible for the bag to scuff on the front wheel on the 3.0/3.5+
Great video. I've had the original 3.0 and it was great. I just sold it in favor of the Big Max Blade IP. Clic Gear have made small increment changes, as you've stated. But the folding mechanism has stayed the same and it's not very convenient, compared to the Big Max. I can fold/unfold my Big Max in less than 15 seconds. And it folds flat. I hope that Clic Gear can abandon their current model and design something that folds into a smaller and lighter footprint for future models and not make small changes like having a bigger net.
I’ve had the 3.5+ for 8 years now. I ride most of the time, but probably walk ~ 20x/yr. I’ve dealt with my bag rubbing on the front wheel for quite some time now, but today it was so bad I told myself I wasn’t using it again. I literally had to push down on the handle to keep the bag from rubbing so the cart could move forward. I just saw a video that I hope will fix the problem, but my reason for posting here is I’m surprised the 4.0 didn’t include a fix for this widespread problem?!?!
Great review. Recently bought 3.5 on special, supplier was out of stock so they sending me the 4.0 at no extra cost. Came here to see my free upgrade, looking forward to getting the 4.0!
Thanks for the comparisons! I have a 3.5 (not 3.5+) and I feel like I can apply some of the improvements from the 4.0 to mine. I found your comment on the pencil holder on the 3.5+ interesting, as I really like mine -- with lots of use, I think it's been stretched out a bit, but I don't find it hard to use at all.
No need to upgrade to the 4.0 from a 3.5+ as far as I can see. The bag straps are a bit naff I agree, but that’s not enough reason to upgrade from a perfectly functioning 3.5+
Just got a 3.0 for “free”; l can’t imagine upgrading for the minimal improvements. Now I AM looking into getting the Club Booster V2. That would be worth paying for even at $800!
Just upgraded to the Bag Boy Nitron from the 3.5. So much easier to fold and unfold and lighter and smaller. Well built IMO from a company that's been around for a while. My stand Sun Mountain bag kept hitting the wheel on the 3.5 and rubbed a lot. The snap loc system on the Bag Boy Nitron worked better and keeps the wheel away from the bag.
I have the 3.5+ and my buddy has the 4. He can't use his top straps with his golf bag. I like the bungee cord system on the 3.5+ a lot better. Upgraded with the V2 wheels and front swivel. Best cart ever
Thanks for the review...It seems, that you can order the new parts separately for your old modell as a service part, as the core base is the same I think...Even the 3.0 modell (used by my wife) is more than enough...
Great video. Very practically oriented. I was about to pull the trigger on a 3.5 but decided to pay 30 quid more for the 4.0 based on this. Courses aren't hiring trolleys atm due to hygiene reasons so figured it was time to invest.
It kind of looks like the part that the bottom of the bag ultimately sits on is a little higher and away from the front wheel... is that accurate? My biggest issue with my 3.5 is that even after multiple adjustments, the front wheel still rubs on my bag...
I own the 3.0 do not see a reason to move up, unless I can trade it for $150 or more. Just bought the V2 and four wheel setup. Waiting to install because I want the new cart😊
The 4.0 is my first cart since I’m a newbie, and I like it a lot, however I have a few tings I don’t like about it. Firstly the top silicone strap is a bit short if you use a big bag. Like a 14+ type from TaylorMade, it’s hard to attach. Secondly, the socket for the handle to the frame is a bit too small, so there’s a kind of a wiggle there, that is hard to tighten, as the bolts are threaded from the outside in, and the locknuts are “inside” the plastic. I fear it might crack eventually. Just hope not.
Thanks for the review. The adjustable top bracket makes a huge difference for mounting. A couple of questions. Did Clicgear ever resolve the clearance issue where the front wheel would rub against the cart bag eventually over time? There is a workaround for this, which is to pull up the bottom part and screw in tighter the pivot screw. Lastly, Where's the phone holder?! I was expecting one in the newer version. Thanks!
In terms of practicality, how do find folding the trolley after playing on a soggy ground? Do find a bit of a hassle folding the dirty front wheel with bare hand? Is there any alternative?
Yes, there is...Just push the button and pull or push the front sideways on the ground and the front wheel will fold without touch. I am doing this method and works well
The difference is the whack ass short straps on the 4.0. It's pretty fucked how the 4.0's top straps are too short for the Sun Mountain C130, only the #1 best selling bag, which I have and my bag falls off my fucking 4.0 fairly regularly. I'd like to know who the fucktard is that designed the 4.0 straps and allowed that to get thru R&D. Perhaps they don't do any R&D. I called Cliqgear about some parts and mentioned this just yesterday and the guy on the phone acted like it was the first time he'd heard about this fucked issue. Yeah right, I'm now seeing several threads online regarding this too short strap issue, just ridiculous they put this out man. I had the older model which had the longer straps which worked fine. Big fail from Cliqgear and I'd expect by now that they'd have an extension solution available or perhaps they just don't give a golly gosh darn, like most company's these days. I get pissed GD it, lol. Good day.

Impossible to find on retail market until suppliers can meet demand, but eBay selling for $500'-600+

Thanks, I’ll keep my 3.5+ - quite happy with it (not worth the upgrade IMHO)

I’m pretty much convinced on the 4.0. I’ve got a $50 cart so this should be a awesome upgrade.
another significant difference is there's more clearance between the bottom of your bag and the front wheel on the 4.0. If you have a heavy bag then it's possible for the bag to scuff on the front wheel on the 3.0/3.5+
Good review. I own the 3.5 and was on the fence for a new one. You’ve convinced me that the 4.0 is worth the investment. Thanks!
thank you for the review. I'm going from sun mountain to Clicgrar push cart

How do you feel about it today? Still good?
Clickgear is built to last and I just sold my 3.0 and currently upgrading to the 4.0
I still have a 3.0 and think it will outlive me lol.
Great info. Very useful for a prospective buyer.
good explanation for a first time buyer
Solid review - nice touches on the improvements. Probably won’t swap out my 3.5 for it, but good to know for the future! Thanks!
Great review the 4.0 definitely looks the better model... 😊👍
Great job, thank you, super helpful

The 4.0 has 4 accessory posts instead of 3 and it looks like there's more tire clearance on the 4.0 as well
Enjoyed the video. Very helpful.

I’m buying my 4.0 today and giving my dad my original

top class review- how often do they product releases? every 5 years?
Great review
Hello. I use a carry bag and it has a stand, the 2 legs that come down. Can this cart hold and carry the carry golf bags?
Still do not get how the rubber band of the umbrella holder is supposed to work.
Thanks for the review. The adjustable top bracket makes a huge difference for mounting. A couple of questions. Did Clicgear ever resolve the clearance issue where the front wheel would rub against the cart bag eventually over time?

Nice video. My 4.0 bottom strap has snapped. Any idea if the 3.5 replacement straps would work? I cannot find strap replacements for the 4.0 in the UK
Thank you for the review. Is there a weight difference between 3.5+ and 4.0? They seem about the same just looking at both side by side comparison.
I haven’t noticed any weight difference between the 2 of them
Wish I could find the 4.0 in stock somewhere these days! It seems very heavy compare to Caddytek models.
Keep checking the links I posted for amazon, some have been popping up for sale.
Can you swap out the strapping system on the 3.5 & upgrade the parts to the 4.0?
That would would be ideal
So, I guess you would recommend "thee" 4.0 over "thee" 3.5+?
Let’s get an updated review now that you’ve actually have used the 4.0. The wheels are shining on the 4.0 haha
So...do you still have the 3.5 and you want to sell it? Great video by the way!!!
So a junior bag can only be only be used on a 4.0 model?
Hey! Do you happen to know if I could replace my 3.5 straps with the model 4 straps? Mine ripped so thinking of alternative options. Thanks!
These ones?? WOW
Does the cooler bag you've linked in the description fit on the 4.0?
will the 4.0 take the tour bag kit? the bracket at the top looks different
Apparently the Trilite Golf Push Cart is a better model
good job
Is your 4.0 the silver model? The online photos make it seem like a much darker silver.
Can you upgrade the bag holder straps on the 3.5 to 4.0 style?
The compartment lid is crap...so many have torn off at the hinge area... this needs to be totally redesigned before I'd buy one again ...
are the accessories compatible with both models?
quick question, Im 6'5 is there a difference in how tall they are? can one be adjusted taller than the other? thanks
In terms of practicality, how do find folding the trolley after playing on a soggy ground? Do find a bit of a hassle folding the dirty front wheel with bare hand? Is there any alternative?
Not at all. It’s easy to fold and easy to avoid the dirt.
Yes, there is...Just push the button and pull or push the front sideways on the ground and the front wheel will fold without touch. I am doing this method and works well
Nice👍
What color is the 4.0? Nice vid.
The one shown in this video is Silver
I can confirm it’s a light shade if silver. And looks white in some of my photographs.
Does the seat attachment for the 3.5 work with the 4.0?
Yes it does. In my Clicgear accessory demo video it shows the seat attached to the 4.0
Do you know if the tour bag attachment fits on the new one?
Yes it will fit fine on the new one with the adjustable arm.
4:05 SPIDER?
“Let’s get into it…ramble, ramble, ramble … Let’s get into it …. ramble, ramble, ramble”
do the acccessories that fit my 3.5 fit the 4.0 ?
Yes
Does the 4.0 accept the 3.5 seat accessory?
yes
@@donaldtatar3322 What about the cooler bag?
