On episode 2 of Power Moves, Ryan and Stirling visit Foreshore Equipment and Supply in North Vancouver, British Columbia, to sit down with owner, Desmond Early. With nearly 20 years as a STIHL dealer – and a background in landscaping before that – Desmond has seen the outdoor power equipment industry change from gas-first to a growing demand for battery-powered tools.
Desmond breaks down what customers are really asking today, why power is no longer the main concern, and why battery management, charging routines, and dealer support are now the biggest parts of the conversation.
From homeowners looking for easier lawn care to commercial crews managing full workdays, this episode gives a grounded look at what the battery transition actually looks like from the dealer side.
