I agree they are exceptional follow carts but I wouldn't discount just how well they also perform as remote carts. Different courses and who I'm partnered with play a role in how my usage breaks down but I've yet to play a round where I didn't use 'remote cruise' and 'remote' most. Saves me significant steps and time (I'm often with 3 in carts) and provides the safest passage. I send mine toward the next tee on many holes too. Sometimes from the green but also right after playing my approach when the next hole runs parallel(ish). Even on the holes I use 'follow' most, it's not expressly 'follow'. I typically send my cart slowly down the rough in 'remote cruise' as we all tee off and then intercept it 100 yards or so down the hole. Put my driver away, grab my rangefinder, drink etc... while walking beside it and then switch to 'follow'.Had my E5 out for 18 the other day, worked flawlessly. While using it, I was thinking about some of the criticism in these comments with regards to remotely controlling the unit. This cart is not meant to be a remote control cart, it is a follow me cart. Anyone who thinks this is something you are going to 'send to the next hole' while on the putting green, is likely to be disappointed. If you expect a great follow me caddy, then this is going to exceed your expectations. You can look at my previous posts to understand how I think the cart is best used and enjoyed.
