Just read through this thread to compare it against my Powakaddy electric trolley
Despite not having a remote and working in the equivalent of manual mode for the Motocaddy, uphill slopes are easy enough to negotiate as I just keep a hand on the handle to guide it and maybe adjust the speed up a bit until I reach the top of the slope - the only thing I sometimes wish I had gone for was the model with the electronic brake assist for steep downhill slopes, but in those instances I just turn off the motor until I hit the bottom of the slope
I seem to remember seeing a post saying that the display doesn't turn off on the Motocaddy? I don't know if it is the same as the Powakaddy, but that display does turn off after a period of inactivity (I don't know how long as never timed it, but if the trolley is left whilst I am warming up by the practice green, the display will often have turned off when I am ready to head to the 1st tee and it just needs a click of the control button on the handle to switch it back on)
My trolley does have a function called ADF (Automatic Distance Function) which allows you to send the trolley off in a specific direction for either 15/30/45 yards, which I often use near to the green to send the trolley off in the direction of the next tee when the terrain allows it
As for your second question, I don't think there is anything that can help you after a few beers
When you make it down this way, I will make sure I have the Powakaddy with me so you can see how easy it is to use

We have a Powakaddy trolley and the standard wheels seem fine when it is wet, but the winter wheels you can get are wider and have a completely different tread pattern to them and, other than getting the gaps filled with mud, they handle the winter conditions fine, so I would imagine you would be fine north of the borderThat looks really really good. Have been considering a battery cart for a while, but never even had in my mind one that drove remotely. I think two questions off the bat.
How does it cope when things get a little muddy, as things have a tendency to be over here after a few days rain.
Would it take me home if I decided to have a few beers in the clubhouse post round?
