A mower including a handle assembly and a grip coupled to the handle assembly. The handle assembly includes a cross member. The grip is moveable longitudinally relative to the cross member. The mower also includes a sensor operable to generate an output signal based on a position of the grip relative to the cross member, and a drive assembly configured to operate based on the output signal.

An electric riding lawn mower includes a seat for a user to ride, a main frame to support the seat, a power output assembly including a mowing element to output power to realize mowing function and a first motor to drive the mowing element, a walking assembly to at least drive the electric riding lawn mower to travel in the direction of a first straight line on the ground and a second motor to drive the walking assembly, and a power supply device to power the electric riding lawn mower with a first battery pack, which includes a first battery pack housing and a plurality of battery cells disposed therein. The power supply device is mounted to the main frame. At least one of the first battery packs of the power supply device forms a pluggable connection with the main frame. The battery cells are lithium batteries.

An electric work machine, such as a lawn mower includes a motor case (22) fixed inside a main-body housing (10). A brushless motor (21) is housed inside the motor case (22) and includes a stator (23) having a stator core (40), coils (45), and upper and lower insulators (42, 43), and a rotor (24) disposed inward of the stator (23) and having a rotary shaft (25). A spindle (17) is driven by the rotary shaft (25). The motor case (22) holds the stator (23) and axially supports the rotary shaft (25) via bearings (68, 76). One or more insulating members, such as an insulating cap (67) and/or a resin layer (78), provide electrical insulation between the stator core (40) and the rotary shaft (25).

A mower includes: driving devices respectively provided on a right side and a left side of the mower and configured to be driven independently; and one or more processors configured to: estimate a gradient of a slope on a travel path; and drive the driving devices with different driving forces on the right side and the left side based on the estimated gradient such that the mower does not slip down the slope when the mower travels in a direction crossing the slope.

A walk power mower has a deck with an upwardly and rearwardly extending handle behind which a use walks when operating the mower. The mower is self-propelled by a variable speed traction drive. The handle includes a slidable handle grip for engaging and selecting a speed of the traction drive to control the ground speed of the mower. Forward ground speed is set by pushing the handle grip forwardly on the handle from a neutral position. Reverse ground speed if available is by pulling the handle grip rearwardly from its neutral position. The handle grip follows a curved path as it moves forwardly or rearwardly to flatten the path of travel of the handle grip from the travel that would have occurred absent the curved path.

A lawn mower includes a chassis, a cutting deck, a chore motor, and a blade. The chassis supports several wheels. The cutting deck is supported by the chassis and defines a cutting chamber. The chore motor is electrically coupled to the battery. The chore motor includes a housing containing a coil assembly, a rotor, and a drive shaft extending out of the housing. The chore motor is attached to the cutting deck so that at least a portion of the housing and the drive shaft are positioned within the cutting chamber. The blade is coupled to the drive shaft and is configured to rotate within the cutting chamber when the chore motor rotates the rotor and drive shaft.
