EcoRider In Action - Electric Riding Lawn Mower

Second mowing run with the mower. Works great and is pretty quiet. Most of the noise is from the mowing deck. At the end, I'm not shutting the mower off, I'm just disengaging the deck.

Looks like a Tank!

Or a Road Grader.

Why the Big Tires?

Won't They Kill" the grass?

@jor99912 The tires are standard size for a 1970s Simplicity lawn tractor.

This looks really good! How long can you mow on a charge?

I haven't actually gotten to use it since I finished it at the end of last fall. At that point, I didn't time it to see either.

It is a 1.6hp 24V dc baldor motor running at 36V. It will definitly go faster. In the video, I am only cutting in 1st gear. My pulleys need to be resized because 2nd gear is really fast right now.

Awesome!! I am about to convert my gas lawn mower to an Electric as well. I convert gas cars to electric so I am not worried about this one at all. What size motor did you use and will it go any fast? It looks like you are cutting very slowly in the video. I have 2 acres to cut so speed is important. Anything you could change on a second build?
