I've been using my Ego walk behind for a couple of years, and love it. I've started buying other ego products and am finally gas-less as well. Not only are they quieter (which the neighbors love), you also don't have to worry about oil changes, either.

I’m glad you did a review on the e-go mower since it’s obviously the direction things are heading. While it’s relatively new tech, and not something that reasonably reliable or affordable for my personal profession I’m still interested in the performance of the electric offerings for mowing and landscaping. I think for a person that’s doing their own lawn it’s a viable option, and it’s amazing the leaps and bounds the technology has come. It’s nice to have an owners real world experience from these new electric mowers. Thanks Dan

Love my ego stuff. Only battery powered stuff I would buy. The only tip I have for you is depending on how often you are moving if the batteries are sitting for a while leave them at 50% and charge the, right before you use. Makes the batteries last for way longer. My first set of batteries I left at 100% all the time and they lasted 3 ish years. New set has lasted 5 years still strong. Just depends if it’s worth it to you

@kevinm8715 2 жыл бұрын

Also keep in mind that they probably do not like being fully discharged. It might be worth buying the two extra batteries to make sure that you're not shortening their lifespan.

I don't know about the ZTR rider, but my electric push mower's battery life is GREATLY affected by deck height and sharpness of the blade(s). Mine has the thinnest wimpiest blade I have ever seen and I am thinking of sharpening like every third mow now. Two batteries can sometimes not even finish 2/3 of my yard, but after a blade sharpening and a deck height raising, two batteries did the whole yard with half the life in the second battery. They got me though, I just ordered the leaf blower and trimmer each with their own battery and charger so now I have enough battery no matter what and they have a more invested customer.

Great video. Love my new Z6, only has 2 hours on it so far. Do you guys have any idea why the drive wheels remain locked for like 5 mins once the unit is shut down after mowing? The little gears button on the panel remains lit for about 5 mins as well as the lights on all of the batteries after shutdown and the mower cannot be freely moved until the battery lights and the gears button go completely off. I need to push it into place in my garage but have to wait until it's happy to be moved. Need to know if this can be manually bypassed or why it happens.

Hi I have a question because I’m looking to purchase this mower. How long does it take you to cut the grass with this mower? I was wondering about run time of the battery, so if it took you one hour let’s say to cut your entire lawn where is the battery level at? Thank you so much for posting.

@normalguysupercar 2 жыл бұрын

The batteries seem to lay over an hour. I don't know the exact time to cut the lawn but it's probably about an hour. When I did simple back and forth it was down to probably 18% or so

@spode2917 2 жыл бұрын

I have 1.8 acres, about 1.2 of which is grass. If it's tall, the four batteries that come with it do not cut the entire yard in one go. I tend to do the front yard on one day and the back yard on another. When it works, anyways. It was in the shop for over 2 months, got it back, and it lasted about 10 minutes before it broke again. I've owned this thing for 9 months and I've only been able to mow my yard 2 times because of reliability problems.
