Light, silent and engine-free, the electric motorbiker is the ideal tool for a family garden. But between 1 050 and 1 500 W, 36 and 45 cm wide, not all models are worth it. Here are the criteria for choosing well.
Criteria that matter
Power
A 1-050 W motorbiker, like theELEM GARDEN, suitable for already worked soil and small surfaces. The models of 1 500 W keep their speed in a heavier earth and allow working faster.
Working width
It determines the number of passages. 36 cm suitable for plates-bandes and small vegetable gardens. 40 to 45 cm allow covering a garden from 100 to 200 m2 without spending the day.
Work depth
All the models presented here go down to 22 cm, which is enough to prepare the seedlings and incorporate compost.
Weight
A lightweight machine can be operated and transported easily. The models presented here weigh between 10 and 13 kg: POWERPLUS POWXG72010 (10.2 kg) and the CHESTER (10.3 kg) are among the lightest.
The guarantee
It varies greatly from brand to brand: 1 year for the HECHT 745, 3 years for the POWERPLUS and up to 5 years for the SCHEPPACH MTE460.

The right reflexes to use
- Use an externally suitable extension extension of sufficient section, and always keep the cable behind you.
- Work a soil neither too dry nor wet: it must crumble in the hand.
- Make several cross passages rather than one deep passage.
- Clean strawberries after use to avoid rust.
Electric or thermal?
Beyond 300 m2 or on a very heavy earth, a thermal machine is more suitable. Our guide Motorcycle or motoculturer: what difference? helps you make this choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
A peut-elle electric motorbiker working a lawn?
Not directly. On a lawn, grass roots block strawberries. First remove the grass in the spade or pass a thermal motoculturer.
What length of extension use?
Over 25 m, choose a strong section extension to avoid power loss. A retractor extension shall be fully unrolled.
Peut-on binner between vegetable rows?
Yes, with a narrow model or removing external strawberries when required by the manufacturer.
