Ariens ZENITH E 52 Ride On Zero-Turn Mower

The battery system of the ZENITH E consists of four interchangeable battery packs, each weighing 22.5 kg. The capacity of each individual Fusion Li-ion battery pack is 4 kWh. Total capacity: 4 x 4 kWh = 16 kWh. The ZENITH E can mow with just two battery packs and drive with just one.

With four battery packs, you can mow for a maximum of 5 hours. After that, they can be replaced with full batteries in a matter of seconds. The charging time for four battery packs in the optional FUSIONCORE charging station is just 5 hours 20 minutes!

This patent-pending system ensures that the ZENITH E equalises different battery capacities. It only draws energy from the fully charged batteries until they reach the same charge level as the batteries with less charge. Power is drawn from the fully charged batteries first, before being drawn evenly from all four batteries, ensuring even power and cutting.

Two independently operating, brushless electric motors with extra strong magnets, increased number of windings and recuperation function when braking. Objective: Low heat generation and long service life.

Coupling the electric motors with a planetary gearbox with double reduction.
Objective: The same smooth, jerk-free ride as a professional zero-turn mower with a petrol engine and hydrostat. Result: Drive the ZENITH E once and compare for yourself!

The mowing deck is the most heavily loaded component of a mower. Stability is particularly important here. The ZENITH E has a 14 cm deep, fully welded mowing deck made of 3.2 mm thick sheet steel, 20 mm steel edge, enclosed anti-scalp wheels and a welded 4-point suspension. The FUSIONCORE electric blade motors deliver a maximum of 3 x 3,500 watts when required. To protect the motor in the event of collisions, the blades are mounted on a slip clutch. This significantly reduces hard impacts on the motor. The air flow of the new X-Factor III mower deck with side discharge is optimised for the cleanest cut and lowest noise level.

Maximising operator comfort is essential to work productively and safely for hours on end. Keeping hard shocks and vibrations away from the driver is particularly important for his well-being and health. The hydro-pneumatic suspension can be precisely adjusted to the operator’s body weight. Adjustable, padded armrests, high backrest and lumbar support allow the rider to find their ideal sitting position. In combination with the ZENITH’s standard wheel fork suspension, the result is a soft, comfortable ride.

The standard rollover protection system with safety belt (ROPS) offers additional protection for the driver. It is foldable and ergonomically tilted backwards to prevent painful bumping of the elbow while driving.
