The QUIET RIPPER! EGO 56V Mini Bike [MB1000]

Last October we first saw this EGO 56V Mini Bike at the Equip Expo in Kentucky. We couldn't wait until they were finally released, and here we are. The EGO Brushless hub motor delivers up to 28mph top speed, and two active 56V batteries provide runtime up to 20 miles. A full suspension makes the ride very nice, especially for a minibike. #egopowerplus #powerbeyondbelief #tools #review

I like that it's labeled as bare tool without the batteries and charger, "Honey what did you get at Lowe's?" "Oh just some tools"

We would never recommend that...but not a bad idea.🤔. Thanks for watching.

[@spmartin]

Beautifully created video!! Thanks

[@extendedp1]

Great review. I would have liked to hear what the bike sounded like from the camera position as you were driving around, what was the rattle? Also, some more driving tests, maybe up an incline, a braking test, wide shots of the bike driving and maneuvering. I wish the bike was a bit taller. I am tempted but a bike with a $900 gas tank is hard to swallow when it will probably only last 2-5 years.

[@stereothrilla8374]

This looks like an absolute blast. Definitely going to pick one up. I’m already deep into Ego’s ecosystem and have had them honor a warranty replacement on a blower and a weed eater one of which was almost 5 years old with zero headache. It should be mentioned that I live on a mountain on a large piece of property and I’m really rough on landscape equipment, so it’s probably my fault. They’ve proven to have great customer service though and I’d have no problem dropping the money on a toy like this if it carries the same great warranty as the rest of their products.

Wow, the Chevette I was embarrassed to drive in high school only had 13" rims. Also this thing looks very cool - but please, Ego, give me a golf chart. I love the idea of cruising around my gated community using the battery from my leaf blower.

Probably won’t be long.

[@heinous70]

Saw one of these pop up on Reddit a couple of weeks ago, and immediately sent it to a former co-worker, who is a lifetime rider, and has recently invested in an array of ego equipment. Neither of us knew it existed. Pretty sure he's going to add one to his collection. I inherited a house in the woods, and a low-powered sweeper wouldn't cut the mustard. I got their blower, and I'm absolutely tickled with it. Until you drop one of those batteries on your foot. By far the heaviest modular battery pack I've ever owned. Putting three of those on that bike, has got to add like 80 lb LOL

[@Shoptoolreviews]

OUCH!! Yes, they are definitely heavy. EGO does a great job with their lawn and landscape tools. In fact, they're probably the reason that battery power is an option in OPE now. Their blowers, string trimmers, and mowers paved the way for the rest of the industry. This minibike is a great little ride and it's so quiet. Thanks for watching.

[@cujoedaman]

This is why things like the Tesla Semi and the Roadster are complete failures. The size of the batteries needed to do what they're claiming weigh more than the vehicles they're put in. This seems like a decent tradeoff, you get 20 miles on two batteries with a third battery "just in case".

[@A6tl996]

Can u give more info ?

[@Hazdazos]

For such a high quality looking piece of equipment, I really was expecting for it to be more money. I have a 750W ebike that costs as much as this does without its batteries, but it isn't nearly as well engineered as this Ego mini bike seems to be. I'd have so much fun with this thing.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

It is a blast to ride. I'm sure some good tuning could turn up the wick on the power. Thanks for watching.

Great review!

[@jhippl]

if its got decent range in eco mode that would make for a nice hunting/scouting bike being so quiet. I could see myself getting out to the duck pond or the food plot really nicely.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

20 miles is probably the max, and that’s probably Eco mode. That should cover most hunting properties. Thanks for watching

[@antilagboostaddiction8322]

With your rifle and gear how much does weight affect the range? How about water is it water proof? How much does driving through mud drain the battery over a normal dirt path? To meany questions would love to see it put to the test

Great review. Unfortunately these bikes did not come out to the show last year in Western Australia. I was looking forward to it.

[@Patiboke]

0:20 Funny laugh. There's a storage compartment for a 3rd battery. Seems to me like for a few dollars they could have put wires and a connector there, so you'd run 3 batteries in parallel. Very cute bike!

[@HA05GER]

It's actually a good idea to leave it that way. Your kid goes out on it kills the batteries then sticks in the 3rd and has to ride it back. all 3 hooked up you'd just run it out and be stuck. My dirt bikes as a kid I've run them out loads would flick the reserve on and go home to fill up.

[@Pro1er]

Judging just from what I see on the video it looks like a very high-quality, well thought out product. If I were in the Ego platform I'd definitely consider getting one. What I've really been wanting for a long time is something that more resembles a go-cart. I am constantly cleaning up yard debris so I have to bend over dozens of times every time I clean the yard. I've been wanting something that I can sit on that is low to the ground with a basket(s) that can be mounted on the front, or the back, or either side of the cart, that way I can sit down and not have to bend to reach things on the ground. I don't need speed so probably any 40V or higher system would work - even two 18/20V batteries would work. Seems like something that Makita or Ryobi would come out with since they are known for their eclectic tool lines.

[@cahg3871]

You have the best job going-you get to test all the new toys,I mean tools.😎

[@jamesplymire5342]

The puppy loves it!!! ❤

[@owenweikert4588]

It only uses the a single battery. The batteries are in parallel. Voltage does not change when more batteries are added but amperage raises. Hence needing batteries that add up to 10 AH for sport mode.

[@rapidcars1]

Oh my gosh, it is so eerie how quiet that is

[@afpitbull60]

Very cool!

[@Bmr4life]

It definitely looks like a cute toy. I paid about the same for my RoadRunner Pro which does 50 mph. That said I'd still get this Ego with no battery if it was maybe $700 since I already have Ego batteries. Put around with kids.

[@TheDwightMamba]

I have 9 of their batteries and weigh 165 lbs. The bike was made for me! That said, the $2K price with the 2 7.5 Amp batteries and the dual charger is the better deal than the $1,300 bare bike. This came just in time to blow a chunk of my tax return.

[@Madman9mm]

😂

[@user-gt7ji9of9z]

[@philmcmorris2468]

[@TheDwightMamba]

I work at race track festivals getting spectators out of the way of paddock traffic. I've been doing it with an electric longboard and rode my BMX during it's 4 hour charge, but now with 11 batteries, I can escort those race cars, tweeting a whistle for the entire time the track is hot. And if you haven't caught the genius of this on your own, the way I'm doing it is a sound financial decision. Spending $2K of tax return on a $2K tax write off.

[@unclegeorge7845]

Does it qualify for for the green power tax credit? And yes; it was made for you - lucky dog.

[@Ozzypup1]

Pretty cool. Kinda odd that the 3rd battery storage place wasnt used as an active port though.

Do you know if this mini bike will accommodate Ego’s larger batteries? I know they have them up to 12 amp hours.

[@barnyard27]

Yes it will take all Ego batteries.

[@coreygreer9069]

do you think the ego mini would pull a light weight trailer and a quartered out deer maybe 110 # 's total . The trailer would be like the ones they sell for the hunting e bikes that cost 4 to 6 grand, just a thought. i would be using 10 or 12amp batteries.

The price isn't horrible, but seems a little silly when you consider I can get one of their own riding lawnmowers that actually performs a job for pretty much the same price. But if you're in the EGO environment and already have all their useful tools that you need... this probably is a fun little toy.

Whoops hit it too early meant to also ask can you upgrade to 12ah batteries on this bike ? I do see it on ego store for $599

[@sbukosky]

I have the two stage snowblower and the big leaf blower. If I run out of power in the snowblower, the single small leaf blower battery will handle some snow so I’d think it could run the bike for a ways in eco mode. I think it’s 5Ah versus the two 7.5Ah.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Sure, you could get some runtime out of the 5Ah. At least it would get you home. Thanks for watching.

[@Obliticus]

Interesting, but I would really be concerned about how exposed that orange power line is. Even on gravel roads, rocks are going to be flying up chipping away, not to mention actual dirt. How does it handle water, mud, snow and the moisture?

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

Actually two grand is not that bad for a quality product AND two new batteries included (and I assume the charger as well, though not shown in the video).
