stefcl100 Posted July 3, 2021 Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 German manufacturer AS Motor has announced a whole new range of landscaping machines based on the EGO 56v battery platform. https://www.as-motor.com/products/?electric=1&_ga=2.15768502.1851110912.1625292688-942542610.1625292688 Some of their equipment will be compatible with the 28ah backpack battery and feature the EGO Peak-power technology (2x56v). AS may not be that famous in the US but it's a highly regarded professional brand in Europe. They build indestructible mowers designed to perform in rough conditions (tall grass, uneven terrain, steep hills). This new system is expected to be available in 2022. AS previously released a couple of models featuring the Briggs and Stratton 82li motor (similar to Snapper) before switching to EGO batteries. Also one has to note that unlike Kobalt, Greenworks, Greenworks Commercial, Stiga, Powerworks, Menard and Snapper, there is no artificial trick to make the battery incompatible across brands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jronman Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 This is using Egos new "crate style" motor. Ego provides the motor and the customer outfits it to their products kinda like what Briggs and Honda do with their engines. The Ego motor will have an approximate output equivalent to a 200cc engine. The engine will accept the regular batteries and the commercial backpack battery. Looks like a pretty slick system and well timed too considering the recent California ban of combustion engines in small equipment within the next few years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
