Step‑by‑Step Assembly / Installation
Here’s how to assemble and install the bracket kit:
| Step | What to Do |
|---|---|
| 1. Prepare cart | Fully unfold your Clicgear 3.5+ cart. Make sure the lower strut tubes (legs) where the brackets attach are accessible. Clean off any dirt or debris in those areas. |
| 2. Remove existing bolts/hardware | If there are bolts already in the spots where the bracket needs to go—usually where the bracket holes match the existing holes in the strut—remove those. Some users report removing a black bolt part‑way, inserting a new one, etc. |
| 3. Position lower brackets | Place the left and right brackets on the lower strut/tube: align holes in the bracket to holes in cart frame. Use the provided bolts, washers, and nuts to attach. Use washers to distribute the load, and lock nuts so things stay tight. Tighten securely, but do not overtighten plastic parts (if any) so you don’t damage them. |
| 4. Install upper tether / Velcro strap bracket (if included) | There will be a Velcro strap or tether that connects the top of the motor unit up to the handle or upper part of the cart. Mount or place the clip/hook for it over the stays or frame near the handle. In user reports, there is a clip over the top that stays under a lever (e.g., green release lever) that holds the strap/hook. |
| 5. Mount the Caddie Wheel motor/wheel unit | Once the brackets are firmly in place, drop the motor‑wheel module into the bracket slots. The module should align and “snap” or lock into place; check both sides are seated. There might be rubber or plastic clips/arms that clip on the module. |
| 6. Secure with strap/tether | Use the Velcro strap/tether to connect the top of the motor unit to the cart handle or upper frame. The purpose: to allow the motor wheel to follow ground contours and maintain stability. Do not pull too tight; leave some slack so the wheel can move a bit over uneven terrain. |
| 7. Check alignment, clearance, locking | Make sure the wheel can spin freely; nothing obstructs it. The locking mechanism (clips or arms) must be fully engaged. The module should be centered. |
| 8. Test the function carefully | First, try pushing the cart manually (no motor) to ensure no binding or misalignment. Then, power on the Caddie Wheel, check the remote controls and speed settings. Test on flat ground initially. |
| 9. Remove the motor module before folding the cart | Important: You cannot fold the Clicgear cart while the motor unit is installed. Remove the motor (unclip) first. Brackets stay on. |
Tips from Users / Common Gotchas
- Some users used zipties temporarily or in addition to secure bracket parts/straps. They help reduce play or vibration but be sure they don’t rub or damage anything.
- When inserting bolts, align holes properly—sometimes one bolt has to be half‑way in, then adjust bracket, then insert fully, then tighten. Helps with aligning without forcing pieces.
- After first few rounds of use, it’s good to re‑check bolts and strap tightness. Things may shift or settle.
- Leave the Velcro strap loose enough (but secure) so the wheel can move over bumps; too tight can cause the wheel to “drag” or interfere when going downhill.
FAQs
Is the bracket kit compatible with all push carts?
No. The bracket is only compatible with specific models. For example, the one you mentioned is made for the Clicgear 3.5+. It won’t work with all carts.
How long does it take to install the bracket kit?
It takes less than 5 minutes. Just mount the brackets and then snap the motor unit into place.
Can I fold the cart with the motor installed?
No. You need to remove the motor (Caddie Wheel) before folding the cart. The brackets can stay on the cart.
