AL-KO R85.1Li Battery Lawn Rider

The brand new AL-KO premium R85.1 li battery powered ride-on mower is worlds away from the traditional noisy, vibrating petrol driven lawn mowers. The AL-KO brand brings you up-to-date designs and state-of-the-art features all combined in a shiny, hard wearing exterior, making them worth every single penny of their more than reasonable price tag.

With a rear wheel drive and chunky rear wheels of 13″ in size, the AL-KO premium R85.1 li battery powered ride-on is raring to go and can cope with varying degrees of terrain. The sophisticated lithium-ion battery takes just 12 hours to charge and comes with its own unique two year warranty for your peace of mind. With a pre-delivery inspection, this lawn mower will be fully built and delivered to you straight from the manufacturer.

One look at the AL-KO premium R85.1 ride-on lawn mower tells you that this is something really special. It gleams in the sunlight but take note, its true beauty lies within. The designers in Germany have used the very latest lithium-ion technology to bring you a ride-on lawn mower that is both powerful and quiet to operate. Thanks to the innovative lithium-ion battery you can mow the lawn, free from smoke and fumes and noise. Your working environment will be all about the sweet smells of nature, rather than the smell of petrol.

The AL-KO premium R85.1 li has an overall width of just 85cm which means it can fit through narrower gates and entrances, where a traditional garden tractor could not. This makes it available to a wider range of gardeners who perhaps had been using a traditional lawn mower in the past, due to access issues. It also makes it easier to maneuver and with a cutting width of 81cm (32 inch) and twin blades you are assured of a neat and tidy finish.

Versatile and easy to operate the AL-KO premium R85.1 ride-on lawn mower features a sturdy steel cutter deck that can be set to a whopping 10 different positions. These range from 25mm which is low enough to achieve a super low cut right up to 130mm which means that even if your grass is longer or the ground rough you can still achieve a great finish. With the battery fully charged you should be able to work for around 150 minutes which should give you plenty of time for lawns of up to 6000 m2.

AL-KO have designed their premium R85.1 ride-on lawn mower to be comfortable to operate and therefore the seat is set to a raised position, not only to offer additional comfort but to give you a good view of your lawn as you mow, increasing the control and accuracy of the cut. It has a high back to add additional support and can be fully adjusted to suit your height.

The smooth and responsive variable e-drive has a top forward speed of 6.5km/h and reverse of 5km/h and this should ensure that you can work as quickly or as steadily as conditions allow. It also has a cruise control feature which allows you to set the speed and then you can relax and let the mower do the hard work. The pedal operation will make you feel like you are driving a small car – it certainly puts the fun back into mowing the lawn! The clear control panel is placed directly next to the driver’s seat for your convenience and gives you all the information you need.

The AL-KO premium R85.1 li can be used to collect the grass or mulch it. If you choose to collect the grass then the cavernous 190l capacity grass collector box will ensure there will be the minimum of trips to empty it, allowing you to get on with mowing the lawn with as few interruptions as possible. A mulch plug is included as an additional accessory – and if you choose to mulch your grass then you will be essentially fertilizing your grass as you do so, as the mulched grass is packed with the vital nutrients that your lawn needs to grow healthy and lush. This is a real time saver and you’ll be saving money too, as you’ll be unlikely to require additional lawn care products, if you mulch your grass on a regular basis.
