A new 58V battery mower range has been introduced for consumers and contractors.

Honda powers ahead

Honda Australia has officially launched its highly anticipated 58V DC battery-powered mower range, marking a bold step forward in electric lawn-care technology.

Designed to meet the needs of both homeowners and professional contractors, the new lineup includes the HRN216-BV, HRN216-BE, and HRX217-BE for consumers, and the HRC216-BE for commercial use.

With a focus on powerful performance, cut quality, reliability, and value, Honda's latest offering is set to reshape expectations in the battery-powered mower market. All models are self-propelled and feature full-size steel or Nexite 21” cutting decks for efficient coverage. They also come equipped with headlights and operate at low noise levels, allowing users to maintain harmony in residential areas.

Power that performs

At the heart of the new 58V DC range are Honda's 1.5kW and 2.0kW electric motors, engineered to deliver robust torque and consistent cutting power. Whether tackling thick grass or large lawns, these motors provide the kind of performance traditionally associated with petrol-powered machines, but with less noise, no exhaust emissions, and lower maintenance requirements.
