  • Publication number: 20240147884
    Abstract: A working machine may work by moving frontward on a ground. The working machine may include: a battery; an electric motor comprising a stator and a rotor and configured to be driven by electric power supplied from the battery; a working unit configured to work on the ground by being rotated about a rotary axis by the electric motor, the rotary axis being substantially parallel to a virtual ground perpendicular to an up-down direction; and a transmitting unit configured to transmit rotation of the electric motor to the working unit. When the working machine is viewed from a front side with the working machine being in a working posture, the battery, the electric motor, and the working unit may be separate from each other in the up-down direction and the working unit may be disposed below the battery and the electric motor.
