Still have not received Sidekick yet. Suggest sending status update email once a week with estimated shipping date. Only way for me to find out is call or go online and pretend to order a Sidekick.
Have not used Booster V2 yet. Conversion on Rovic RV1S was easy.

It doesn't follow behind well at all. It does pretty good L or R (following on the left or right sides. Steering with the remote works pretty good (I thing any deficiency here is more with my cart--4 wheels all fixed direction). My scores have increased a stroke or two with the ease of walking without pushing the cart.

Like this a lot more than I thought. Works really well

I have had my Alphard V2 with sidekick for about a mount now and have put it through its paces.
Play 9 everyday after work, and 18 on Sat and Sun.
Setup,
First, shipping and arrival was fast with no damage. Second, removal of old tires and installation of mounting hardware was simple, I believe there are videos out there but a couple of screws and can all be accomplished with in reasonable time. Lastly, if you don't have the sidekick you are done there. With the sidekick a couple of seconds to first time pair then your done. After a charge.
On Course,
So putting the motor down and attaching it is the only real time added to my normal process, attach cart, clubs and sidekick. turn on remotes off you go. On the three different modes, I found because I walk a little but faster either on my right or left was the best. I prefer my right so there is no adjustments or repositioning need for my next shot. I did find when it was behind me it would have trouble keeping pace might relay it as an according effect, come up stop/slow doing would cause it to lose track of the remote then it would send an alert to the remote for me to back up some and reaquire signal. But this is not a issue just a preference. Now walking my course is something that I love to do, but because of how hilly it is, it became more of a dread then just enjoying the play, this has giving me back my enjoyment. I have more energy during my play. Having it follow me around or just moving it to the next tee box while I'm waiting to putt or chip is great. This is the best golf purchase I have done since picking up the game. Everyone ask me on the course where I got it, how much. So I spend a little time every round talking and showing it off, make my day a little better.
Downsides,
My only downside is my battery life. On a normal round it does fine but if I want to do another 9 or 18 it won't hold up, like I said earlier I have a pretty hilly course so I can only get about 22-23 holes if it slow or normal 4hour round. I have gotten out in front of the crowds and finished 18 around half battery life, but it had been on that light for a few holes. This is the only downside I have, everything else about this product is outstanding.

Works like a charm

Thanks for the fast shipping

Love the freedom to walk with the V2. Used to toggle between push cart and carrying and found both not so comfortable. The cart seat with the V2 is a hands down unbeatable combination for its stability (wide base), versatility and from what I have seen of my friends’ V2s its durability as well. Don’t feel tired anymore! Have not tried sidekick yet but see it useful only on courses that have few curbs. Highly recommended with or without Sidekick. Only issue I have is sometimes remote buttons get activated in pocket inadvertently while not in use. This can sometimes be problematic causing the V2 in hitting others or nearby carts etc. So leave it on the cart when not in use!

This product has really helped improve my back pain and my game. It is a game changer. This device is easy to use and highly recommended. Only suggestion is to order two batteries, especially golf quite a bit like do. Best gift I’ve ever received!!

Awesome product so far! Wish i got it sooner. Makes walking so much more enjoyable and using my own push cart which has all the amenities i want is much better than other motorized cart models.

I tried this for the first time in mid December in Massachusetts. I walked a rather hilly course and the sidekick had my cart right next to me. I had no fatigue after 18 holes and the cart followed me wherever I went. It was such a great day on the course and can’t wait to use it again.

It took a little while to learn how to properly operate once set up (in back yard). Haven't had a chance to use on the golf course yet but it should be quite helpful (and fun).

I have used it 4 times, so far so good. Thumbs up.

First time out I had problems that were my fault, I mounted the sidekick on the handle of my sun mountain micro cart.
The clubs interfered with the operation and I had left the bag clip at home.
The next time out with the sidekick mounted in front it worked perfectly, switching from behind to right or left depending on terrain. It even followed me over a bridge on a water hole.
I just keep the remote in my back pocket.
I was able to enjoy a cigar and a beer while walking.
The following mode is great.

I always walk when I play golf (4to 5 times a week ) and some of the courses in the northeast are quite hilly so I bought the V2 with the follow feature and couldn’t be happier it works great easy to set up and I have a lot of energy throughout the round. I’m not pushing hunched over to get up hills and not running down hills with the old push cart. So far I have not had any problems with the V2 so I am very happy with the purchase and do recommend buying this.
Pete T.
Love it! Easy to add the brackets. Easy to setup out of my car. Simple to steer and stop and set a direction and go. Was a joy to walk without carrying or pushing the cart. Like golf when I was a kid, and the way golf is meant to be played, walking. Highly recommend!

Really enjoy the Alphard. I have been watching this for over a year. I bought with the sidekick. I tried 2 rounds with the sidekick and really don’t like it. A little finicky. I don’t trust it with it running either to the right or left and certainly do not like it behind. Every time I looked back I turned and then the cart turned. It must be a learned skill I may return the sidekick. For the main remote and motor- this is awesome. I have walked 5-7 rounds already with it and I finish the round not tired at all. Makes the hills a non-issue and the fatigue on my back pushing the cart all disappear. Best part is being able to walk upright and not hunched over pushing a cart. Also steering the bag to the ball up to 35-50 yards ahead and parking is awesome. Keeps you occupied on the walk to your ball.
I have the Costco Caddytek and the brackets sent with it worked perfectly.

I have now used my Alphard V2 + Sidekick for five rounds. I am still amazed at how great this thing is. It is as close to having a caddie as possible. The Sidekick sometimes gets disoriented when you walk too far away, but you start to learn when you need to stop and let it find you again close by. I already have others in my group looking into ordering them after seeing mine. It makes walking a breeze, whether using the Sidekick or the remote.

The club booster is really awesome and I’ve found myself using it without the sidekick. The sidekick is cool, but I tend to walk fast and I feel like it had a hard time keeping up with me when I tried it around my yard. For me, it’s super easy to just use the remote, and for that it’s amazing. Easy installation as well. I highly recommend.

Getting my "walk" on while golfing has neer been easier since using my Alphard V2 Booster!! Great way to exercise!
Tiffany L.
I love this! Purchased it to help with Golfer's Vasculitis, and guess what? No more vasculitis when I golf! A+.
A Godsend and at half the price of buying a whole new motorized cart when I already have my own push cart.
Also, Excellent customer service with Dave!
I highly recommend Alphard of any golf needs.

I know it’s been said many times by other reviewers but…single best golf related purchase I’ve ever made! V2 plus sidekick bundle with my existing bagboy tri-swivel cart has given me a premium performing electric pushcart at half the price or less! I will never rent a buggy again! Walking 18 has gone from too much for me to handle to an absolute breeze. Thank you Alphard!!!
