Wonder how annoying it would be for that to run out of juice in the middle of a mow and either run a really long extension cord or push it back to charge area. lol otherwise sounds pretty cool

Er, it weighs about 800 lbs.

However, it has a fuel gauge for the battery, so there's no excuse for that to happen.

Your thinking like its a gasser..out of fuel an BAM, everything stops. Dude, electrics don't work like that. They start to slow down and you know they are low on charge. By switching off the blade motors, you have plenty of juice to get back to charge central.

Happy Trails...

About as annoying as some posters.

The concept is pretty cool, but IMO it really doesn't serve any real purpose.

It serves the same purpose as any electric alternative to the internal combustion engine. Perhaps you should have said that it is not cost-effective atm.

Yea your right I should have said that it is not cost-effective. It's to expensive for the average homeowner and doesn't do a thing for the commercial operator.
