We all know EGO for their battery-powered outdoor equipment, and with good reason. They’ve been a leader in cordless technology across the vast spectrum of landscaping and lawn maintenance tools for quite some time. However, as the old saying goes: “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” Clearly, this is a mantra the folks at EGO embrace, which explains the introduction of their 56V Mini Bike (MB1505-2).
To be sure, this vehicle was quite the spectacle at their unveiling event, which we attended while at this year’s Equip Expo in Louisville, KY. Here’s a peek at the performance and design features that will make the fun possible.
EGO 56V Mini Bike Performance Features
Although EGO faces stiff competition from manufacturers like Razor, the MB1505-2 is an impressive debut. At the heart of this hog is a brushless hub motor and two 56V (7.5Ah) ARC Lithium batteries. Together, they provide plenty of torque. The result is fast, quiet acceleration without the stink of a 2-cycle fuel mixture.

A few design features bear mentioning.
