Toronto wants to ban two-stroke engine small equipment (lawnmowers, leaf blowers, chainsaws) but the City will let you rent electric equipment via a lending library. (archive.is)

I know, downvoting underway, yadda, yadda, but 2-stroke yard equipment can go fuck itself. Loud as fuck, stinks, pain to maintain.

I bought a Toro e-Super Recycler mower during covid. I have a 3/4 acre lot, easily does that on one charge. Dewalt electric string trimmer more than enough charge for what I need. Green something heavy duty leaf blower--powerful as shit, plenty of charge.

They're only getting better. Next up on my list is electric pressure washer.

The electric options are so superior for my usage, I'll never go back to gas.

My F150 has power plugs all over the place, so I can charge up my equipment while I drive too.

+1 on the noise. The lawn services around here don't understand the concept of replacing mufflers and the racket their blowers and trimmers make is obscene.

I still think there's a power difference that hasn't been addressed yet. And for big yards, I'd rather have a gas powered tractor (but that's not a 2 stroke)

Some trees, however, are going to require proper, professional, gas engine chainsaws with big blades.

Absolutely, I would never dispute that gas powered tools, equipment, and vehicles have many uses where electrcs just CAN'T work (right now at least).

BUT, for the average suburban yard of less than an acre, electric tools can easily handle every task (mow, trim, blow, wash, etc).

Yeah, residential use electric tools are basically good enough for any suburban yard, effectively.

Except the mower. Gasoline is more efficient than a battery operated lawnmower.
