- a battery compartment door located on a side of the handle midway between the first distal end and the second distal end;
- a first motor in mechanical communication to drive both the first side and the second side simultaneously;
- a second motor in mechanical communication to drive the center brush;
- a power switch located on the side of the handle and selectively provides or ceases power from at least one battery to the motors;
- an indicator light provided also on the side of the handle to provide illumination that indicates power of the at least one battery, and/or activation of the first and second motors;
- the first motor driving a reciprocating wheel with a pivot bushing;
- a first lock block providing attachment for a first Bowden cable and a second Bowden cable, the Bowden cables pass through an interior of the neck and the head and the first side and the second side are operably attached to the first and second Bowden cables within the head;
