Weibang ION 106 ZT Battery-Powered Zero-Turn Ride-On Mower

The iON 106 ZT is a commercial-grade zero-turn ride-on mower from Weibang powered battery technology and offering a clean, quiet and comfortable mowing experience with the agility to turn 360 degrees on its own footprint.

Easy to operate, all the controls including starter key, blade engagement and hour meter are close at hand to the driver’s seat. The LCD screen provides information about remaining battery capacity, accumulated working time, wheel speed and the status of safety switches.

The mower features two motion-control lap bar levers to more precisely control the steering and forward and reverse drive. The more you push the steering levers forward, the faster the mower will go. With a cutting speed of 8km per hour, this nippy zero-turn mower can reach about twice the speed of traditional lawn tractors and ride-on mowers, with the added benefit of excellent manoeuvrability around obstacles and in difficult to reach areas.

The Weibang iON 106 ZT employs four powerful brushless motors – one motor on each of the two blades to give plenty of power and torque to handle the conditions of the British lawn, and one on each of the left and right rear wheels to drive the machine.

The charging unit connects into the rear of the machine and plugs into a standard UK 3-pin plug. Due to the size of the 72V 75Ah battery, it does take around 18 hours to fully charge which, considering the mower will cut up to 6,000 square metres, will cover two acres on a single battery charge.

The 106cm (42″) cutter deck gives you the option to side discharge the grass clippings or, for more formal areas, simply insert the mulch plug to finely chop and recycle them back down into the lawn. The large range of the height of cut can be adjusted from the comfort of the driver’s seat through ten stages from as low as 15mm right up to 115mm.

Highly manoeuvrable, the iON 106 ZT has two heavy duty front caster wheels to help achieve that 0cm inner turning radius. Standard turf tyres at the rear of this agile mower provide plenty of grip without damaging the lawn when performing those 360 degree turns.

Comfort is all part of the ride thanks to the wide adjustable seat which incorporates a seat belt to hold you securely in place when going over rougher, uneven ground. Two integral cup holders will accommodate a drink or two to keep you hydrated while mowing.

With zero carbon emissions and low maintenance, the Weibang iON 106 ZT is an excellent choice for those wanting to use more environmentally-friendly equipment and, with battery technology marching on, it will literally run rings around its petrol-powered equivalents.
