Ouch. I did see the S7 remote on the UK Motocaddy site for £79.99 ($110) but that quoted link is the only place I've seen a spare M7 remote listed. Even though it's not listed on their website I'd contact US Motocaddy first but wow, best to not lose the remote!Looks like replacement remote control is not cheap ...

That makes me want to put a tracking system on mine. I keep it on the cart in the holder, but now I think I’ll keep it in the bag.Looks like replacement remote control is not cheap ...

To be fair, I had to try and tip mine over. I wanted to test the limits turning it on a relatively steep side slope. It is WAY more stable than my regular three wheel push cart.Little concerned about all the tipping over stories. I’m in the market and play regularly with a friend that has a different brand. Never seen it tip or even come close to tipping over. I like some of the things about the Navigator, but tipping over is a deal breaker at that price.
It was mentioned by @JB as well. So another question is about the battery, is it proprietary or universal? Quite honestly 5 year pro rated is on the terrible side for lithium.To be fair, I had to try and tip mine over. I wanted to test the limits turning it on a relatively steep side slope.

Can @Motocaddy confirm the M7 Remote does not have a gyroscope in it for sidehill tracking?
One minor gripe I have is I wish this had a gyroscope to help it hold its line going across slopes. We have a few holes with undulating fairways, and keeping the cart on line with the remote makes the going a little slower.
I was the poster of both the posts you quoted. The idea behind asking @Motocaddy for confirmation is if there is a gyroscope, I don't know how to use it, and I definitely wouldn't say it works that well.Here's a comment from one of the reviewers...
For me this is the M7's biggest design flaw because I would have expected this feature at this price point.
For hundreds of dollars less the MGI Navigator AT includes a gyroscope in the base price.
Sounds like you guys need some Velcro for that remote on the unit haha. For the price you would think there would be a gyroscope of some sort in the unit. Would be nothing worse than seeing your cart tip over while driving up ahead. Can one of the testers get some video of driving on a side hill?
It's not really about tipping over or not, as I managed to tip the M7 over on a very slick steep hill, but tracking in a straighish line on undulating fairways.The irony being that as @Canadan mentioned above, we had both MGI and Motocaddy side by side on the same hill, going hte same speed and only one of them tipped over. It was the MGI unit.

It really is a nit-picky thing. For the price I paid, I have no complaints but for anyone shelling out full retail, they might consider that to be an essential feature.True. Haven't seen that issue, but then again, I am using the M5 and not the remote.
I know there are users of carts viewing this as some sort of brand rival, which is odd, but I truly hope they get to test units side by side as we are.

Probably wont be until next week, but I will definitely get a video on a side hill run.Sounds like you guys need some Velcro for that remote on the unit haha.

I'll try and get it done today depending on what side I play. If not it will have to wait until next week (vacation this weekend).Sounds like you guys need some Velcro for that remote on the unit haha.

Gonna have to wait until next week. I'm stuck at work late tonight.I'll try and get it done today depending on what side I play. If not it will have to wait until next week (vacation this weekend).
Placed an M7 into the shopping cart at Budget Golf a few days ago. Now I’m getting the early-morning email reminders that it’s sitting there, waiting for me to pull the trigger. As if I needed any more temptation …

Must have missed the latest laser from MGI that got rave reviews from THP. Yet yeah, we are biased against the brand. Not even close to reality. It’s okay to think both companies make solid devices which we have said repeatedly and favor one of the two when trying them side by side.An odd statement as you clearly have a bias against MGI.
not even close to reality…but fairly expected at this point.
