I started with Greenworks when they pretty much only offered corded tools. We bought the 18" corded chainsaw, corded weedeater, corded pressure washer, corded polesaw, and push mower. We owned and used them worry free on our 2 acre home for 6 years. We moved to our 20 acre place and realized it was a pain to run 3500' of heavy extension cords so we bought the 60v chainsaw, 60v polesaw , 640v mower, 60v weadeater, 60v vacuum, 60v leaf blower but kept our corded pressure washer. We scored a great deal at TS. For $169.99 for the chainsaw with charger and 2 batteries. In fact all the tools we watched for sales. Missed the BF sale when then mini bike was $999.99 at TS but will keep an eye out. Anyway I will never go back to gas powered tools for most things. These batteries last, I have the dual quick charger so I can have more battery power than my self power to do the work.
Thank you for sharing that! We have been slow to the battery transition but I am sold. The new battery operated tools are fantastic and even the 60v blower has had my backpack blower on the shelf for a while. I absolutely recommend the mini bike!!! It is one of my favorite things on our farm!!! Take care brother!
I used to think electric powered bikes were lame. However after having a Burromax 750R (mostly to get my step son on two wheels) I realized that they can be capable low maintainance machines. The torque almost threw me off that thing... and that right away put a big fat smile on my face. Top end speed lacks, but that torque is what you need in the trails. This greenworks mini bike is definitely on my watchlist. Best part is you can pretty much ride it anywhere and anytime (especially at night) without pissing people off.
The electric sold me too man. Not as a gas replacement; just a different machine. That torque wants to fishtail in the gravel! So much fun to ride. Thanks for sharing that and for being an awesome Dad to your step son. You are a good one. 👊🏼
I bought one and have had it a couple of months. I wish the throttle was a little less responsive at the beginning of the throttle. It is pretty rough ridding. I lowered the air in the tires to 8 psi and that helped a bit. The mileage figures are very optimistic unless you only ride on flat ground. 6 miles is more realistic.
It’s got a lot of torque for sure. Haven’t really watched the mileage but I would agree 25 miles is optimistic. I really enjoy riding it. Its a blast for sure!
Thank you for the very good reality review ! Im on my 2nd week of ownership of this bike ...thanks in part to your review. Im absolutely loving the bike. Thank you !
Just ordered the mini bike today. I already have four other Greenworks 60V tools including the 18" chainsaw, 10" pole saw, string trimmer and leaf blower. Not one of them has ever failed me and I expect the mini bike will be the same. Great stuff Joe!
Joe, great review I’m sold I think the mini bike is perfect for getting you back and forth to the hunting blind! Super quiet and powerful, I also love the battery inverter. You could use that in the hunting blind to power a small heater.. Man I have to get that.
Thanks for watching buddy! It really is a cool machine. Was awesome to share it with everyone. Been a lot of fun. And really the only way to go to a hunting blind!
After 2 full seasons, I absolutely love the mower. I use it on turbo almost full-time, together with the high lift blade. It's a game changer compared to the standard thinner blade that is installed when you buy it.
I work on a cattle property in Australia. Im really thinking about buying one 😅👌🏾, would be perfect to move around cattle. With the quietness of it, great for Low stress cattle handling
An 60V 8AH battery costs $300. I would have bought one or two but if use an 8AH in my 60V walk-behind mower, I can't close the lid. A removabe battery gives an electric bike "infinite" range. Carry a pair of spares and you can ride far without getting range anxiety.
Had the same issue on the backpack sprayer. The 8ah battery will work but wont let the lid close. And you are right! As long as they are charging you can ride for days! We keep a set on the charger and while using the other. How do you like the mower?!? I may order one to try out!
@@JoeTheFarmer Man I seriously like that thing!! Hoping they come out with a bigger one! Since I'm over the recommended weight by like 30+ lbs and 6'5" Even still I love riding it!
Ok, so I have the GreenWorks snowblower from Costco that came with the same batteries and charger. The scooter is great but you just blew my mind because I didn't know I could buy the plug in and usb charger doohickey. That is now on my Christmas list
It is a game changer for making those batteries go even further. The inverter is an awesome thing to have for sure. And the power is stable so I’ll use it to plug my computer in while editing! Thanks for watching and take care!
If you bought it at Costco I’m guessing it was a 80 volt? If so wait till the 80 volt models come out this year. That way all your batteries will work in your other 80 volt tools.
Awesome review and seems like a fun product and with the other tools you can use the batteries on its a good investment it seems thanks for another good video Joe
First off I want to say I love all of your videos, me and my wife are normally watching from our big screen TV so i don't make comments from the remote . Started watching your channel because of the UTV videos you have... But today I am sitting at my PC trying to figure out the battery i am suppose to have for this machine, I picked one up 2 days ago from a Tractor supply around 45 minutes from me cause they showed to have one in stock. I just now today realized everyone seems to have the Pro edition of these 8.0 ah battery's, I ended up with regular non blue tooth ones, not sure what the Bluetooth does for it? And or if there really is a difference in the Pro/blue tooth and the regular 60V 8.0ah that i got. I called and they said they don't have any battery's with Bluetooth, suppose to be calling the company and letting me know. So far i like the Minibike, it doesn't go any 20 miles, maybe on perfect level ground. more like 4-7 for me depending on the terrain. but its nice being able to switch battery's and keep riding. I am pretty much just using 1 at a time. up to 20MPH is plenty fast enough for me, i am 5"10 216. Keep making your videos.. Love your Place it looks so peaceful. We have 5 acres in West Georgia.
Hey man! Thanks so much for reaching out! I watch UA-cam from my TV too and usually "like" but can't comment on videos so I know what you mean. The minibike should go farther than that with two batteries, are you only using one at a time? The bluetooth thing was discontinued. Mine say bluetooth; but the batteries don't do anything through bt so they may have just repackaged it. I still use the bike all the time. I absolutely love it. We were sent one as a promotional tool but would absolutely buy one. Take care brother!
@@JoeTheFarmer Thanks for the reply, The store is reaching out to the company to find out.. I am using 1 battery at a time. I was doing some riding away from the house and wanted to have a fully charged one in case it ran out on me so I could make it back.. Does using both battery's at the same time even in Eco mode work better? if so I might just pick up a 3rd pack to keep as a spare when I ride far away.
@@JoeTheFarmer I over bolted my 48vl battery with a 56v battery and it took my top speed from 28 to 32mph the motors and controllers are usually rated to resist a little more voltage, as per amps it wouldn’t draw more than w.e the controller allows it to
Joe.....great review, I have to wait until I'm more mobil to consider it. I do have both a gas and a EV Polaris, and I use the EV all the time hunting and around the farm. I tend to use the 1000cc gas more for food plot tasks etc. Bob
Thanks Bob; appreciate that! The EV stuff really seems to have come on. I will have a video out soon swapping the lead acid batteries in our 6 year old ev side by side to lithium. Should be a fun one if I can figure it out!
I have been buying battery powered tools lately for home use. I like them but seem to run out of power before I get done. I can see where having that bigger battery would be a game changer. Great video I like that power station cheap if you have the batteries.
You need to get one Dale! Lol. They are a blast to ride. Was $999 on black friday but back to 1,500 now. Not cheap, but not cheap. If ya know what I mean. 😁👍🏼👊🏼
@JoeTheFarmer 1/3 off I thought 1,500 was a good deal. I'd probably kill myself. I bought my first motorcycle when I was 18 road into a fence around a corner. I think I'll stick with 4 wheels. I might not be as much of a kid as you but still a little crazy.
The only advantage I can see over a gas machine is the sound, or lack of it, and yes this is huge, but it’s like a Tesla, and as you know teslas are nice and useful in town, but let’s go wheeling for an extended ride, or few days you’ll see the disadvantage it has too…
It's whisper quiet man. Have rolled up on a group of doe a few times. Won't go far, but for quick trips and fun around the house it's a blast. And I have ridden the gas machines; they rattle your bones and are not comfortable to ride. This machine (frame) is VERY comfortable. With a gas engine would be fun to see.
@JoeTheFarmer 16ah battery is about as small as they come. Although the 60 volts is really good the lack of amp hours would drastically limit what could be done with the bike. If using on a farm it could leave you with a long walk home pushing your bike.
@@paulcoinc thanks for elaborating. I guess with a higher amp battery it would dramatically increase cost and weight? I know video doesn’t always tell a real life story but we are yet to get stranded. They have been excellent and the charge indicator is spot on. I appreciate your input.

Thats so awsome. Strap your saw to your back, jump on your bike n go out to the woods!😂 Dont forget lunch!

Both are absolutely legit. The gokart is too small for grown kids (like us!), but I love the mini bike and chainsaw. Excellent tools.

Thanks for watching! I am trying to be impartial but man I love the thing! Lol. Appreciate you!
Great video. I really like the mini bike, I'd love to have one for zipping around the property
Thanks for watching! Crazy how you gravitate to one mode of transportation. I walk to the mini bike every time. It’s just so easy and fun to ride!
I got one now love it so far
Heck yeah!!! Tell the truth, is it not the coolest thing to rip around on??? I love it.

How many Watts on the Brushless Motor ? The bike does not seem to have a lot of ground clearance.
Hey Frank, not sure on the motor. Ground clearance has never been an issue. Thanks!
Gotta know..is the lamp still on 😂??
🤣🤣🤣. Lasted 36 hours. Not bad for one battery! But with that said; you would have 3 days of continuous light. Pretty awesome.
Awesome! I want one! Love it! Where’s the brother hookup code?😂😅🚜🇺🇸
It will be under your tree my friend. 😁👍🏼
is there a way to pull a small trailer to move tools to a property far side or do you have to transport on yor back?
Not sure; but I wouldn’t. Not safe imo
Can we get a race and comparison to the new EGO mini bike (MB1005-2)?
If I had one absolutely!
Have you seen the 60v 1500w Mototec Mini Bile ?
No sir, but sounds awesome!
Joe, how is this Eco Power Bike off road with mud, rocks and stumps...on a typical ATV Trail ?
Can you use 80v on this?
Haven't tried them; but I doubt it. But the amps are more important than the volts. 8 amps is a strong battery.
Price?
$1,499. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Still not enough power
The tech is there. Only going to get better!!!
Lost me at the poor amp hrs on the battery.
I honestly don’t know much about electricity so can you elaborate? They have tons of stored power. I may be missing something.

China made…such a hard pass.
We don’t make anything here anymore.
