What happens here
This video provides a showcase and overview of EGO's new commercial line of battery-powered lawn and garden equipment, focusing on the features, durability, and battery technology of their commercial riding mower, a minibike, and snow blowers. The discussion highlights battery capacities, run-time solutions, and the interchangeability of batteries across the EGO platform, rather than providing step-by-step battery maintenance or charging instructions.

(11,509 characters)all right guys there's a lot new at ego a lot and this is one of the masterminds and the brains behind it this is a new ego commercial commercial y why do you say commercial well I think it's important I mean this was designed clean sheet from the ground up to be a commercial mower and set aside power source that means there's a durability standard there's a ruggedness standard there's living on the back of an open trailer and the pouring rain standard that this thing has to live through and you know even something unique about commercial Riders is like the guy who's operating it isn't the guy who paid for it so they don't always treat it the best so we know that this thing's going to get abused it has to be built to that standard to really take that that abuse that will be dish out do it day in day out okay so all You' talked about is abuse abuse and abuse what what makes this what makes you say that this can hold up to that abuse Conrad the overall build quality everything we've done from like the quality of the steel the ibeam construction how thick of tubing we've used here like it's built strong big steel I beams it's it's built differently doesn't share a single part with our current Z6 so no no nothing rolls over this is brand new from the ground up correct 48 in what's the size is 48 54 and 60 48 54 and 60 and power as with battery has never really been a problem cuz battery in my opinion it's it's I've been convinced that battery the torque of battery has all the power that gas has the problem is runtime correct what did you guys do to solve that uh so what we did is we developed a new battery so here you see our new 2.2 KW lfp batteries it's a large format battery um so this will take four there's three here and then there's another Bay just on the other side of this um so what these are is ability to like hey give you the right amount of run time so what we noticed in talking to users over the years and trying to understand their businesses CU guys who bought these sort of big GTRs that have built-in batteries we're sometimes only using 20 30% of that charge during the day to like get through a day of Mo and blow that kind of thing so we wanted to make it possible for them to have the flexibility to right siiz their choice when you are only using 30% of a battery on a $40,000 mower you're paying an extra50 , that's $440,000 more no this is sub20 sub20 all right so let's not let's not put this into that $40,000 category how far will this go how much can this mode uh this mode in this configuration will do 6 to 8 and then with another battery that'll get us up to the 12 to 14 so Acres so this so this will do 12 to 14 anchors yeah by the time we launch and the average guy that's out there mowing it really covers around 8 Acres 8 Acres 68 Acres sometimes 10 during the day yeah that's what we found so 8 to 10 acres so a guy should not have to recharge this but if he wanted to recharge this he could just bring an extra battery along with yep and pop these out and keep going what if he's got the regular Eagle batteries that you guys have and all of your other that's the cool thing so where these slots are we have an adapter that'll launch with the vehicle that will take two Power Plus batteries so if we have some of those users that bought like 52-in resi Motors we have landscapers that bought 52 resi to use and they have all these 12 a hour batteries we got you man you can buy the tool get the adapter use those 12s in the machine it's our brand promise all batteries all tools all batteries all tools so you're not stuck with just using this battery you're not stuck this one gives you the optimum run time correct okay all right but you didn't stop there you've got more stuff that you guys have built right all right we're going to check out some more stuff so let's go there next all right guys this is mini bike ego mini bike ego mini conr what do you do for ego by the way so I'm a senior product manager for everything you ride and then I also have uh control over like walk behinds as well so you develop this y this has been in development for 2 years correct yeah okay so tell me a little bit about this so the spirit of it was like honestly sort of some of that old school like you know fat tired mini bikes from back in the day like love those grew up on one of those they're awesome they're fun they're so we sort of we saw them and we're like you know this is really neat but we could you know so we bought a couple we're like ah we could do this a little bit better we saw there was like a Resurgence there has been a Resurgence in that but you immediately we started to see things that we like we loved about them but there was stuff like oh we want to change that you know like they a lot of times have a straight frame and they don't have any like they have a couple Springs under the seat so we wanted to give it like real suspension um they all have chains which adds complexity well this is something that's fun fun shouldn't take a lot of Maintenance so we went Hub motor Hub motor the motor to this is right there it's just it's just the Hub so there's no drivetrain there's no chain to lubricate there's no direct drive power is got to give you instant torque and instant oop you put it in the back wheel so this thing has got I've never ridden it but I'm going to guess this is a Wheeling the monster if the with the right yeah you probably can you have time on ATVs yeah yeah yeah yeah I used I used to run them and race them back in the day it's a younger man's port at least that's what my back tells that's what your back tells me uh so dual Port so it fits two batteries we'll get it with two batteries okay um 275s two it comes with it could come with 27.5 and that will give you how many uh how how many miles up to 20 mil up to 20 mil you can put a third battery in here it's got a storage St it's lockable storage but you can put a third battery in there if you want you can put a rain coat in there you can put a battery in there and then you could go 30 miles yep exactly okay with three but if you do you have space to put a bigger battery so yeah so like again all batteries all tools so like if you have a ZTR and that ZTR has like 612s yes we're going to sell it as a bear tool go buy two bear tools and just boom boom boom and you're going like 40 50 mil or something 50 m with 32 with 3 12 and it goes what's the top speed on 28 mph 28 M an hour it's got a nice seat you've got actual real suspension in the front yep dual hydraulic disc brakes um that was something else we wanted to solve for in those uh old mini bikes a lot of times they were like drum brakes like a rear single drum brake and but if you want to go fast you need to be able to slow down you have an odometer on it yep so so uh there'll be a really nice screen very clear screen that lets you customize between normal mode there's actually parental controls so if you take the seat off and you got like younger kids and you want to slow them down a little bit um you can take the seat off flip a switch it puts it in a parental mode what's the price tag on this bad boy 2 Grand kitted kitted means charger and Battery y un kitted $12.99 be tool $12.99 barar tool so if you've already got batteries just go buy your that's the best Christmas present and it's tax deductible yep go drive it out on the farm go check the cows and it's tax deductible take it from there that's all you got to do let's learn something to go bring it out to one job site cuz you had to go check that thing out and now youve just saved 30% on the price of that thing but you didn't hear it from me okay I'm back with Conrad and he's one of the main designers for everything that you ride on and have fun on you guys created a lawn track yeah so this was something where you know obviously we launched the ZTR in 2021 and we've come out with other ztrs along the way but we've had demand like I follow the groups we follow Reddit we follow Facebook we have a lot of users that wanted a tractor and you want a tractor one because you hit a different price point it's a little bit lower the other thing is people that have tractors tend to be a little bit more utility driven right they tow trailers they have yards they maintain all this kind of stuff it's more than just about cutting grass right um so some of this stuff is pretty familiar um six Port Bay so take six batteries we kit it with 6 sixs part of the 6 sixs is it's a little bit smaller battery than the four than the than the 410s that come in like the other Z's so um when you put that 10 into a string trimmer you can do it but it's a little bit heavy the six in a string trimmer a brush cutter a chainsaw is actually still a really nice feel so we wanted to keep even how we kid it sort of driven by utility um Storage storage here you got your nice Dash laid out your dash laid out here charging boort so charges think of you know if you guys have an electric car and you just plug that son of a duck in boom that's the same thing that's the same way you charge all of these things and you guys I mean the lawn tractor the ZTR yeah okay here's your de heite adjustment here right what else do we want to know about it um you know the the aim here was to again sort of hit a price so be at $39.99 kid it and when is this coming out Congress i''ll be ready q1 ready yeah it'll it'll be shipping later this year and and ready and available to buy um January I mean it's the same deck as the ZTR there's a lot of familiar here we're just trying to hit like a price point in utility driven product all right that's it let's go check out the next one and Mia you are going to show us this this is a brand new snowblower coming out by ego right completely brand new 28 in 6 ft of throwing distance it's pretty sick check this out this is the coolest part watch that look how fast that thing goes who side to sidewalk total ease I'm barely even moving my hand super comfortable super easy get the job done this is self-propelled now I'm hoping it's self self-propelled um powered by two ego batteries right here we got two 10 amps in here you want to open that up but this isn't Rel you can use any need Eagle Battery any battery have one battery one platform so any of your tools you can swap it out with your ebike your pressure washer a mower anything when is it coming out this is coming out 2024 2024 so how big is this is there size um so this is 28 in minimum biggest one what's the biggest snowblower you guys make y biggest one today 60 ft of throwing distance yep yeah amazing all right guys I think I'll have a a chance to test that one out this one but you've also used the same technology in another one that's coming out this year so if you don't feel like heing around the big dos this one gives you the same kind of throwing distance 50 ft 60 ft exactly 24 in versus 28 in so you've got different options right but it also has the same heated handle yes okay and then if you really don't need something this bake s propelled here right you can come down the line over here and we have two other as well then the 2 so these are great I love these we we pick these up throw these in the back of the truck yeah we pick them up throw them on decks we can clear off decks so they got steel augers so that's an important thing to note so steel construction all the way through so it's pretty heavy duty those are the new snow blowers by eagle thank you thank you as we break everything
