Fairway Bikes offers a 3-wheeled e-bike designed specifically for golfers and golf courses, claiming to enhance the game experience by allowing players to move faster, more freely, and actively on the course. The company emphasizes the bike’s benefits in reducing turf impact and increasing profits due to its no-cost maintenance compared to traditional golf carts.
The company was founded in the Pacific Northwest by a group of passionate golfers looking for a better way to navigate the course. The Fairway Bike features a stable reverse trike configuration with dual front wheels, rugged suspension components for a smooth ride, and a platform for a golf bag at the front. It is powered by a Bafang mid-drive electric motor and offers both throttle and pedal assist options.
Fairway Bikes aims to offer a high-margin alternative to traditional golf carts for golf course managers, reducing overhead costs and turf impact. While the purchase price is not disclosed on their website, they offer a revenue share model for golf courses looking to incorporate the e-bikes. The company’s focus on sustainability, profitability, and innovation in the golf industry is highlighted through its unique product offerings.
