My son-in-law has an Ego self propelled push mower and just purchased a $1600
self propelled snow blower. I'm an electrical engineer and have tinkered with
electrics for 32 years and I'll have to say the Ego products above are very
well designed and durable. He has only used the snowblower once, but it cut
right through a 2 foot snow drift with no problems, throwing the snow about 15
to 20'. I haven't seen the Ego riding mower, but based on the units above I
would think they are also well built.

Thank you, Paul.
I can only imagine how hard it is to tap out a message while a chihauhau
is jumping on you :)
That said, Ego is a relative new comer and much smaller than Deere, Cat,
Toro, to name a few (I have no idea if the others are making EVs). Maybe
it isn't significant, but I'm hoping that when buyers see a very
familiar brand promoting an electric riding mower, they will have
confidence. People like you and me seek out companies like Ego. I'm just
guessing, but I suspect most people have never heard of Ego.
