I don't know if you are old enough to remember the Rock Group Queen? and there song ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST. Oh well I guess it can join the Hustler ZEON in the wannabe yard.:smile:
Ric
Cool! And it can run for 1 hour, which is pretty decent.

Yeah I know the group. And I agree electric ZTR's have a long way to go before they are worthwhile in my eyes, even if I am mowing just my own yard!

The problem they have or that the electric ztr has is its cost against its productivity. The Hustler ZEON was something like $6000 and there wasn't a whole lot of hustler dealers would even stock the things, you could look at some pictures and if you wanted the mower they would order the thing. Cub Cadet already tried the Electric mower thing before and it flopped.

and also;
old GE elec-trak, 70-s
Elec-Trak Owners Club
and cub-cadet's bs "new, revolutionary" "4-wheel steering": on old Ox
The Ultimate Non Polluting Series of Electric Tractors for Towing, Mowing and Moving from the Electric Tractor Corporation
"The power is applied to each wheel separately by the speed controller. In a turn, the speed controller will apply less power to the inner wheel. This provides a light steering feel and a smaller turning radius than is possible with a traditional differential. In addition, an electronic differential simulates a differential lock while front wheels are driving straight"

Yeah I know and that's my point. The Normal Homeowner is only looking at maybe half an acre of land and not even that if you remove the 3000 sq. ft. area of house and garage so to spend that amount of money on an electric ZTR when a good $400 self propelled will do what needs to be done is something they just aren't going to do.

$2,399.99 electric RER; 36-Volt, 85Ah = 3.060 kwh = 3kw [4.1 hp] for 1hour (at -1C and 100% efficiency) or 1kw[1.3hp] for 3h; 10-12h recharge; 450lbs[225kg]; 30'' blades
vs.
$1,499.99; 315.0 Lbs[142.88 kg]; 28"blades; 11.5hp [8.6kw] continuesly, for as much hours as you need
p.s. that's power to the ground, to the blades - mower is not an elevctric car or bike, there is no coasting, sitting in the trafic, gliding, etc - mower does hard work done continuesly, power take-off directly to the blades, 3600 rpm (or continuos, constant torque output at 18500 fpm blade tip speed); - this is all a continuouse work (load) - open cut, 20% for turns and overlaps as industry standard for performance mesurement
