Electric Lawnmower made from scooter parts

This is my electric lawn mower made from electric scooter parts. The scooter didn't work any more and the reel mower was cheap on craigs list. Put those two together makes a great electric lawnmower. I am still using the batteries that came with the scooter. I recharge the batteries from the solar panel mounted on the roof.

how long does battery last for cutting normal size grass.....It's cool, I wish I had grass instead of concrete

The batteries I am using on it are the batteries that came with the scooter before I tore it apart. So I don't have a clue how old the batteries are. The batteries only last 20 minutes. Which is enough time to mow either the front or the back yard. I hook it up to my solar charger/battery bank and it is ready to go again the next day. Newer batteries or larger batteries would make it mow longer.

A reel mower doesn't cut tall grass very well. It isn't pulled into the blade because of the height. For regular lawns, it works great. I am looking at converter a regular mower with the spinning blade. I have the mower deck which has self propel on it that I will convert. I just need to find the time to actually finish it.

I like it. I used a gas powered reel mower along time ago and loved it. I been looking for a way to power a new one. I may have to go electric now. Nice mower.
