The move to battery powered mowers
I’m adding this photo of a Kobalt battery powered riding motor sold at Lowe’s mainly because it was what got me interested in this. (This particular photo was taken from some one’s Facebook post). I’ve noticed that at least half of the push mowers being sold at Home Depot and Lowe’s are battery powered. I’m curious on thoughts about the shift. I can’t see larger units going by the wayside anytime soon due to the demands placed on them but for push mowers, are they being phased out and in a decade or two will be relics? Not sure what’s driving this demand, if it’s that yards on new homes appear to have all become tiny, consumer demand to not deal with gasoline and oil or some environment restrictions pushing the industry that way. Just curious on where you seeing the future of push mowers going.
