EGO's electric motorcycle powered by cordless tool batteries

EGO POWER is well-known for its electric lawn care tools, such as mowers, string trimmers, and chain saws. However, the company has now introduced something more exciting - an electric mini bike. The EGO POWER+ Mini Bike utilizes the same lithium-ion battery packs that power their leaf blowers, allowing riders to experience a thrilling ride.

Although the mini bike is not street legal, it can provide a top speed of 28 mph (45 km/h), making it ideal for off-road adventures. Instead of commuting, riders are more likely to enjoy slinging dirt around with the mini bike's cute little off-road tires.

The mini bike is equipped with two 56V 7.5Ah ARC Lithium batteries from EGO, providing a maximum range of up to 18 miles (29 km) with 840 Wh of battery capacity. It offers three riding modes - Eco, Normal, and Sport - with the 18-mile range most likely measured in Eco mode. Additionally, it features a reverse mode, which is a useful feature given its size.

Although the mini bike may appear toy-like, it is well-equipped with full suspension and hydraulic brakes, ensuring a decent ride experience. While the power of the rear hub motor is not specified, reaching 28 mph (45 km/h) on a mini bike of this size is sure to feel exhilarating.

Pricing and availability details for the mini bike are currently unknown. However, it is expected to be available for purchase soon. Other electric mini bikes exist in the market, but the EGO mini bike stands out for its use of lawn mower batteries. This off-road offering is perfect for those with land to explore, and the swappable batteries allow for extended riding range.

Just make sure not to use up all your battery packs on the same day you need to mow your lawn, or you'll have to postpone that task on your Honey-Do list.
