Litheli is making waves at CES 2026 with a double dose of lawn care innovation: their Cyber Mower M21 has earned recognition as a CES Innovation Awards 2026 Honoree, while the company simultaneously unveils two new AI-powered robotic mowers that promise to automate outdoor maintenance like never before.
World’s First Dual-Mode Electric Mower Takes Home Hardware
The award-winning Cyber Mower M21 breaks new ground as the world’s first walk-behind electric lawn mower that seamlessly switches between traditional operation and smartphone-controlled remote functionality. Users can operate the 21-inch mower in standard walk-behind mode or fold the handle and control it remotely via app from up to 55 yards away—a game-changer for tackling dense grass, navigating tight spaces, or staying cool during those sweltering summer sessions.
At the heart of the M21 lies Litheli’s proprietary EASYSURGE technology, which combines a 1600W high-efficiency brushless motor with an advanced electronic control unit and modular 16Ah expandable battery system. The setup delivers 3200 RPM cutting speed—exceeding the 2800 RPM industry standard for 21-inch mowers—while providing up to 100 minutes of runtime on a half-acre lawn.
The mower’s design goes beyond raw power with thoughtful user-centric features. The All-in-One SurgePanel centralizes drive speed, cutting height, and mode switching controls, while pressure-sensing assisted steering technology reduces arm strain during extended use. Storage gets a significant upgrade with what Litheli calls the world’s first T-shaped wireless folding handle, which folds in three seconds and reduces storage volume by 76%.
Robotic Revolution Joins the Lineup
While the M21 handles the manual work, Litheli’s new robotic offerings aim to eliminate it entirely. The company is debuting two AI-powered robotic mowers designed for different user segments: the Eyeon 500 AI-VISION serves as an entry-level, wire-free option for first-time users, while the flagship Skope 800 AI-VISION brings advanced autonomous capabilities to the table.
The Skope 800 stands out with its RTK-independent operation, relying instead on a multi-camera AI-VISION system paired with NEO-FSD intelligent navigation logic. Rather than following predetermined patterns, this approach allows the mower to actively understand terrain, boundaries, and real-world environments—bringing a touch of Tesla-like intelligence to lawn care.
Battery Sharing Gets an Ecosystem Upgrade
Powering this expanded product lineup is Litheli’s evolved Infinity Power Share (IPS) technology, which has grown from a simple cross-tool battery standard into what the company describes as a “system-level energy architecture.” The enhanced IPS system now supports both manual tools and autonomous machines, creating a unified power network that spans multiple device categories.
This approach offers three key advantages: cross-device energy sharing across tools and intelligent machines, improved battery utilization that turns lawn care equipment into portable power banks for charging phones and other electronics, and scalable intelligent power that supports everything from handheld tools to autonomous platforms within one unified system.
Behind the scenes, Litheli’s LERA Power System 2.0 serves as the modular technology platform integrating motors, batteries, control systems, and software into a scalable foundation designed to support multiple brands and markets while maintaining a shared core technology stack.
Growing Global Ambitions
“The Cyber Mower M21 represents how Litheli applies system-level innovation to real-world outdoor scenarios,” said Kenny Yao, Vice President at Litheli. “Being named a CES Innovation Awards 2026 Honoree affirms our long-term vision to build a HOME-TO-WORLD energy ecosystem that empowers people to work more efficiently, safely, and sustainably.”
Founded in Ningbo, China, Litheli now operates branches in the United States, Germany, and Japan, positioning itself as a pioneer in next-generation power tools with a mission of “freeing power, simplifying tools.” The CES 2026 showcase marks a pivotal transition for the company as it evolves from a power tool manufacturer into a broader outdoor automation company.
