I have almost the full set of Ego lawn / power products (no snow blower,
and using the self propelled mower instead of the riding one...) and
have been happy with them with one exception...
The self propel unit on their early mowers would go out. (I had the
mower replaced 2-3 times, and the self propel until repaired twice under
their 5 year warranty....so the warranty coverage was fine....but I had
to use it WAY too much......my yard is large enough that I probably
should be using the riding mower....so perhaps I was just using it a lot
more than their engineers had planned...nothing else would die, just the
self propel units...)
Now I'm out of warranty, but the latest repair is still going strong
(plus I've purchased a few extra mowers when they would come up on the
used market to get a few extra 7.5 AH batteries....so I should have
enough mowers for a while....)

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.

I apologize! Sincerely was not trying to be rude.
Originally I was going to post a link. Seems when I do that it includes
a bunch of graphics and the forum rejects those. In addition, my
chihuahua was jumping on me while typing in my phone and I didn’t give
much thought to how it sounded. I merely intended to let people know
others were making them. I will try to do better.

Paul, you needn't be so rude. I think highly of ego, but wasn't aware
of their product. If you don't like my posts, don't read them.

There are several companies making them. I guess ego is not a major
manufacturer in your mind.

Well, not something you would take on the road, but I'm glad to see
a
major manufacturer, John Deere, producing an electric riding lawn
mower.
The small gas engines are the worst polluters and the noise in the
neighborhoods has got to go, too.
https://electrek.co/2023/02/08/john-deere-launches-first-electric-zero-turn-mower/
...
The electric mower features a 3.2 kWh (3.56 kWh maximum) sealed
lithium-ion battery capable of mowing up to two acres per charge.
With a 42-inch Accel Deep Deck and two adjustable mowers, the
zero-emission EV delivers the same productivity and cut quality as
its
gas-powered counterparts, with added benefits. The electric
transaxle
has a seven mph maximum forward speed, three different modes which
can
be controlled from a large LCD screen, and zero turn capabilities
for
the perfect lines each time.
