Looks like a great lawn mower.
If they come out with a comparable electric snow thrower, I will be all over it.
If they do make one, it should last you forever if you just keep the batteries at about 75%. That's because you'll probably use it about 10 times on Salt Spring in the next 20 years!
Actually it is more like 30-40 times in ten years, based on the last five. We typically get a few dumps of 20-30 cm or more at our house, which is at 350 m elevation, and frequently in the "snow belt." :wink:
Since we have a 180 m long driveway, it costs us over $250 to get it ploughed ONCE. So our current ICE snow thrower has already paid for it self several times over!
And its a steep driveway too...
My in-laws are also on SSI -- and also in the snow belt. They send some amazing and unexpected snow pics almost every winter. 20-30 cm is pretty common with elevation on SSI.
Case in point:
The view is worth it, though!
True, they still need to do a long term test but at least there is no belts to change since the electric motor is a direct drive.They said that series of lawn mower (gas version at least) has a bad repair record too.
How do you like the Ego, thinking about getting one but worried that it is not self-propelled. Is it easy to push, my wife does the mowing.My electric lawn mower is the Ego. It has a lithium battery so it's lightweight and runs about 30 min. on a charge.

I do miss the self propelled feature that my old Toro had. It is quite a workout mowing on a hill, harder than I thought it would be, but it's easy on a flat section of lawn.How do you like the Ego, thinking about getting one but worried that it is not self-propelled.
