The speed of this model is adjustable across 5 levels, allowing you to tailor operation to the task at hand. The so-called Flex-to-go system is designed to perform maneuvers in fewer passes by reducing speed in tight spaces and to cover long distances faster by accelerating on straightaways.
At each level, the machine’s speed increases by 20% according to the following curve:
Level 1: 20% speed;
Level 2: 40% speed;
Level 3: 60% speed;
Level 4: 80% speed;
Level 5: maximum speed;
Note: The machine’s maximum speed is listed in the Technical Data section.
The right speed for every task
The Zallys battery charger provides reliable, high-quality charging. Thanks to PFC technology (Power Factor Correction), it improves battery performance during charging and prevents potentially harmful current spikes.
It’s also multi-voltage, adapting to 110V or 220V power supplies, and features a “float” mode—essential for maintaining battery performance during long periods of inactivity.
External high-frequency battery charger
The Zallys tiller head has been designed and built to make operation more ergonomic for the operator, ensuring the right level of comfort for extended use throughout the work shift. Its ergonomic design keeps everything within easy reach:
ignition key;
display showing the remaining battery charge and the selected speed;
button for selecting the 5 speed levels;
horn button;
hold-to-run drive controls;
anti-crush safety button;
two slots for extra buttons for additional accessories.
The structure is made of durable materials to withstand accidental impacts.
Ergonomic steering
This model comes standard with two 130 Ah batteries, providing the machine with 8 hours of continuous runtime.
The batteries are sealed AGM batteries and therefore require no maintenance.

High efficiency, low maintenance
Zallys motor gears run in an oil bath, which means virtually no maintenance and a significantly longer motor life—delivering consistently high efficiency over time.
Modular ballast system
The Zallys M5 modular ballast system makes it easy to boost performance when needed: each weight is 20 lb, so a single operator can add or remove ballast without any external lifting equipment.
