With cordless power becoming increasingly popular amongst environmentally-conscious gardeners, Weibang has hit the mark with the introduction of its first battery-powered ride-on lawn mower.
Employing the latest lithium-ion technology and manufacturing processes, the iON 81 RC mini rider is a genuinely viable alternative to petrol for mowing large lawns efficiently and comfortably, with the added benefits of no fuel or oil to store, minimal maintenance, zero emissions and quieter operation. Powered by the heavy duty 72V / 31Ah battery and started simply by the turn of a key, the mower can run for up to 2.5 hours on a single charge, depending on the working conditions.
The Weibang iON 81 RC has been designed to deliver high performance, maximum reliability and a long working life. Featuring a powder-coated steel body and front bumper for protection, a robust gearbox delivering the efficient transfer of power to the wide 13" rear wheels and a specially designed mower deck system to deliver optimum cutting and collection performance, the iON 81 RC will live up to expectations. Its tight 140cm turning radius ensures great manoeuvrability, which is particularly useful in gardens with obstacles to navigate around. The narrow overall width of 85cm will fit through narrow entrances and gates, perfect for gardens where access may be an issue.
The machine is equipped with a twin-bladed mower deck which provides an 81cm cutting width, combined with a spacious 190 litre grass collector which minimises the time spent emptying. Should you prefer not to collect the grass, a mulch kit is included to provide the option of mulching - simply insert the mulch plug into the rear discharge chute to activate the mulching function which will chop the clippings into finer particles and deposit them evenly on the ground to be recycled back into the soil. The cutting height is easily adjustable using the single spring-assisted lever adjacent to the driver's seat to provide ten preset heights of cut between 2.5cm and 13cm.
Many of the features of the iON 81 RC, such as the cruise control system, mowing in reverse, blade engagement and LED headlights, are controlled from a clear control panel located next to the driver's seat. An LCD screen also allows you to monitor such things as the battery charge status and the speed of each mower blade, whilst an audible alert and indicator on the display screen advises when the grass collector has reached capacity and needs emptying.
Variable e-drive delivers a maximum forward speed of 6.5km/h and a nippy 5km/h in reverse, with simple pedal operation and the ability to engage cruise control. Driver comfort is catered for in the form of a high back seat which is fully adjustable and in a raised position for maximum view.
