A walk-behind lawnmower includes a mower deck, a plurality of wheels coupled to the mower deck, a drive motor configured to operate at a drive speed to drive at least one of the plurality of wheels, and a handle coupled to the mower deck. The handle includes a user interface having a variable speed control configured to be actuated an actuation percentage, and a maximum speed control including a setting corresponding to a maximum mower speed. The drive speed of the drive motor is determined using the actuation percentage of the variable speed control scaled by the setting of the maximum speed control.

A battery powered lawnmower having a blade motor coupled to at least one blade, a user input device configured to receive a blade motor control signal and a bail control bar. The bail control bar is coupled to a position sensor configured to determine a position of the bail control bar. The battery powered lawnmower further includes a controller coupled to the position sensor and configured to control an operation of the blade motor. The controller is configured to receive a blade motor control command and determine a position of the bail control bar based on data provided by the position sensor. The controller is further configured to, in response to determining that the bail control bar is in a closed position, control the blade motor based on the received blade motor control command.

A rear-moving, self-propelled working machine includes a main machine and a handle device. The main machine includes a moving assembly and a motor for driving the moving assembly. The handle device is connected to the main machine and includes an operation member, a connecting rod assembly, a housing, a sensing device, and a trigger assembly. The operation member includes a grip for a user to hold. The connecting rod assembly includes a first connecting rod connected to the main machine. The sensing device is used for sensing a thrust applied to the handle device to drive the rear-moving, self-propelled working machine. The trigger assembly is capable of applying a force to the sensing device when the grip receives the thrust. The trigger assembly is connected to the connecting rod assembly, and the sensing device is connected to the operation member.

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.
