Interior Dimensions: 46" x 30" x 11.5"
I use this cart constantly! It's well built and just big enough for most of my yard needs without being too large. It's held up to a lot of abuse. I've carried 18 inch logs, dirt, mulch, plants, tools, ... Pretty much any time I need to move something around my yard I pull this thing out.
They advertise it as 15 cubic feet, but, like most of these carts, the volume is exaggerated. The interior dimensions without the rails are 46" x 30" x 11.5". That's about 9.2 cubic feet or 1/3 of a cubic yard.
Assembly was fairly easy, but I did tighten a few things only to find I had to undo some bolts to fit the next piece, so may avoid unnecessarily tighting the bolts until everything is in place.
They use hex head bolts for assembly. This makes assembly easier, but they do make the interior less smooth. I thought that might be an issue, but it hasn't been.
You can find it on Amazon or directly from Vevor.

This is a tow hitch receiver for a Lexus GX460. It just happens to be an almost bolt-on option for Ryobi 48V mowers. It utilizes the bolts that hold in the battery tray, so I'm not sure if it would work in the RM300e since it doesn't have a battery tray.
You'll need to drill some holes in the frame tube behind the battery and add a couple M8 or 5/16 bolts to complete the installation. For more pictures and details, see this Reddit post.

When changing tow-behind accessories, this hitch pin is a game changer (no pun intended). It has a strong magnet under the handle, so, in most cases, you can get away without installing the locking pin. Combine that with a large, easy to grab handle and connecting or disconnecting tow behind equipment is so easy.
Comes with a red, green, or yellow handle.

Thatch is the built up of dead grass and roots under your actively growing grass. When there's too much thatch, it prevents new grass from growing, resulting in a thinner lawn. Excess thatch can make your lawn appear yellow, particularly during the colder months. The tines on this thing will pull up the thatch as you tow it.
You'll want some weight on it to keep it from bouncing around. A 16 x 8 x 4 inch cinder block attached with a bungee cord to each side will do the trick. The blocks are about $2 at Home Depot or Lowe's.

Use your mower in the winter to clear your driveway. These plows work great, but if you get a lot of snow, you'll also probably want to look at snow tires or chains for the rear as well as adding weight over the rear tires.

Lawn sweepers are a fast way to pick up debris from your yard. They'll pick up sticks, leaves, pine cones, walnuts, and thatch as easily as driving over them. They have long brushes connected through gears to the wheels, so when you drive, the brush spins, throwing whatever is in front of it into the basket. Then back it up onto your dump pile, pull the rope to lift the basket up to dump the contents. You don't even need to get off the mower. Just dump it slowly or everything ends up on top of the sweeper.
It's a huge time saver. The main downside is these things are a bit bulky to store. However, the basket comes off easily and will fold down by removing the rear vertical supports.

If you have an RM480 and some Ryobi clamp on tools (fan, light, speaker, etc), our friends over at ACMC Studios have a bracket that attaches to your steering column and will hold 1 to 3 clamp-on tools. You can get it in black or green with attachment points for 1 to 3 tools.
Since the attachment points bolt on, this could be adapted for other uses. If you have something specific in mind, contact ACMC Studios to see if they can make it.
Available on their Etsy store.
When you're not mowing, you can think of your mower as a large mobile battery. An inverter lets you leverage that battery for emergencies, events, or working in remote sections of your property. Most small inverters on the market are for 12 Volt systems. While there are a few for 48V, the Zetawale GXTK-48V-2500 stands out for quality and performance at a good price. It's rated for 2500 Watts continuous and 5000 Watts peak. 2500W is roughly the equivalent of a 20A breaker. Fully loaded, you'd get about 2 hours of runtime from a 100Ah battery.
You can find it on Amazon.
In Summer 2025, they released a larger, 4000W version rated for 4000W continuous and 8000W peak. 4000W is roughly equivalent to 33A AC and is intended for large appliances. To be able to draw this much power from the inverter, you'd need to hook your load to the AC output terminal block rather than using the regular outlets. If you need this amount of power, you will also probably want a larger battery.
The 4000W version is also available on Amazon.
It doesn't get cold enough in my garage that I have used personally these, but others have reported success. These pads run off of 120V AC and turn on at 32 °F (0 °C). The pad heats up to 122 °F (55 °C), which is within the operating range of LifePo4 batteries, but they lose heat to the surrounding environment and less heat is actually transferred into the battery. These pads can keep your battery above freezing, which is required for charging. For operating they just need to be above -4 °F (-20 °C). Any good BMS will have multiple temperature sensors and will prevent charging and discharge outside of the acceptable range.
Of course it's better to keep your battery in a warmer space and if you're not using your mower in the winter, it's better to pull the battery and store it inside. But, if you are using your mower for plowing and don't have a warmer space to store it, this can be a good solution.
The pads are 8.5" x 7.875". You'll need two to fit under most 100Ah and 50Ah batteries.
You can find them on Amazon.
These will shut off when the temperature rises, but you can also add a thermally controlled outlet like the Thermo Cube TC-3 or HeatIt ET-21 if you want to ensure it has no power in warmer temperatures.
This is another one from our friends over at ACMC Studios. This rack allows you to attach Ryobi LINK system boxes and crates to create a trunk for your RM480. I have one and it's really nice to have a place to store a pair of gloves and small yard tools. I also throw trash in it that I find while mowing.
The rack sits high enough that you can still access the charge port. It's positioned so the weight is centered over the back frame tube and so you still have most of the seat adjustment range. The top half of the rack can be removed with 4 bolts with wing nuts and you can use a bagger without removing the lower brackets. The lower brackets are always black and the top of the rack comes in black or green.
Chris at ACMC Studios went through a lot of iterations and testing to get to the current design and it shows.
