Regarding sharp turns. With my Zip Navigator you can't tip it over on level ground by turning. If you have it at full speed and make a sharp turn it slows down before turning....as soon as you let go of the turn button it regains the previous speed.

That's awesome. My regular group would lose their collective $#!@ if I rolled up with one of these.

Can’t wait to hear your thoughts after using it for the first time.

Not sure if different for Moto, but I leave MGI Zip Navigator AT battery on the charger all the time when not being used.
Mother Nature is jealous that my battery is fully charged and ready to go. 41º and heavy rain all day 
41 I can handle but not with it raining. Nope.Mother Nature is jealous that my battery is fully charged and ready to go. 41º and heavy rain all day
Any jealous ribbing from playing partners, yet? I play with mostly walkers and I know I'd get some jabs early on in the round if I rolled up with one of these, but they'd all be a bunch of haters.
I had plans on taking it out on the course tomorrow but work has another idea for me. But quick update, I did get it out yesterday and today with a full bag of clubs on it. I am impressed with the quality and performance of it so far. I will be working on an initial thoughts and first impressions this weekend.

How's the battery holding out?
Seems really stable on the sharp turns, and I’m impressed with how quiet it seems.

It is by far the most quiet I have tested.

In a post of mine yesterday I mentioned how I wasn't sure what some buttons under the top bag support did. It really did all make sense today when I threw a bag on the M7.
My main bag is an older Nike bag. I think this is the Nike Slingshot, but I'm not 100% sure on the name. It is a stand bag. With the top bag support bar of the M7 in down position (the mysterious grey buttons pushed in so the hoop lowers slightly) the M7's bar hit the bag in a bad spot.
So, I pulled the bag away and raised the bag support until the grey buttons popped out, which raises the bag support bar. This was enough to allow the bag is sit much better.
With the ends of the support bar pushed against the bag the fit was quite good. I attached the cord around the front of the bag and smiled. I was very happy with the bag fit.
I have two more posts coming later tonight if the videos ever upload

As promised, more posts...
There are three settings for the rear wheels on the M7. There is transport setting (wheels flipped for space-saving storage), powered electric setting (using the cart or remote and letting the cart provide the moving power), and manual/push setting (for when your battery dies, or you don't want to make your friends with push carts jealous). Best way to demonstrate this is a video. This video was sort of an impromptu shoot so yes, I stumble on some words and for some reason I call powered mode "go kart mode" haha.
Here are some better views of what I'm talking about with the settings. Photo on left is the wheel in powered mode. Photo on right is in push mode (notice the two notches on the axle).
In the video I kinda fumbled with the wheels a little bit. They are even easier to change when you don't have to worry about making sure you aren't blocking the camera shot

It was cold with heavy rain all day long today so I didn't want to take the M7 outside. But, @ddec's videos made me jealous so I had to do something. I setup an "obstacle course" in the garage. It's at the slowest speed (2), except I think from :46-:50 I might have had it in speed setting 3.
I first fired the M7 up without a bag on it but the front wheels were skidding on the cement a bit. The added weight of the bag made it work much better. This is the same Nike bag seen in my earlier post above. Note how quiet the M7 is. To move forward just quickly press the button (don't hold it down). To turn hold the left or right button down and when you release the button it will go straight. Short presses of the left/right buttons got me around the golf bags. Holding the turn button down did the spin. One thing to note is the somewhat violent stop after going in reverse...hooray for the wheelie bar. Not sure if that's how it is or if I'm doing something wrong (yes, I realize you won't normally cruise around in reverse). You have to hold the button down when going in reverse, but the longer you hold it the faster is seems to go. Letting up on the reverse button stops the M7.
Another thing I forgot to post earlier...storage. Here's a photo of how small the M7 can get. Wheels are flipped into storage setting and I'm using the kickstand. You do have to remove the wheelie bar to store it like this.

@ddec and @rumstove Great stuff last night. Seeing this in action it mirrors what I have been seeing in the M5 and just how quiet and stable this is. I enjoyed the MGI previously but the rattles drove me nuts and based on limited usage this one is a bit more stable for me. I am going to try to get them side by side this weekend to try out.
