RYOBI’s new 80V brushless riding mower sees one of its first discounts to $5,799 ($700 off) in New Green Deals

RYOBI was known for using older lead acid batteries in its riding mowers for years, but that’s no longer the case. With the introduction of its 80V brushless mower line, we now have lithium-ion powered riding mowers from the well-known brand, delivering user-swappable power options here. You’ll find the power equivalent of around a 28HP gas engine here as well as a unique bagging system all for $5,799.

We also have a wide selection of Tesla and e-bike discounts in today’s New Green Deals, so you won’t want to miss that either.
