No drive transmission, and no speed to select. | Push-propelled — at about 61 lb with packs it's the lightest machine in EGO's snow lineup, and the rubber-tipped auger tugs it forward as it grips pavement. The chute swings via a handle-mounted lever, dual LED headlights light the driveway, and the handle folds flat for wall storage. |
