Default new topic electric riding mowers

My next door neighbor got a battery powered Ryobi riding mower earlier this
year. Like you say, it starts every time. She loves it. She used to mow
every 3-4 weeks, but since getting the electric model she was out there
every weekend. I offered to make a drink holder for it.




For years I've been wondering when a decent battery-powered
lawn tractor would be available ! It seems the _perfect_
application for the technology - put a solar charger on the shed
roof - it sits all week on charge - if it can last about 2 - 3
hours on a full charge most homeowners would be A-OK.
my half-acre is easily done in an hour

Battery life and replacement cost would be a big factor.

Greenworks also offers 52" & 60" decks - $ 15 grand price range.

I'm on 7/8ths of an acre. I don't need a tractor, the Ego self
propelled does it all in 1 shot. I feel guilty enough not pushing,
I don't think I need to graduate to sitting the whole time.
