I was one of those, more than eager; purchasers of the G1 and G2 Recharge sit down mowers. It was my (`my includes wife)who, concerned about the environment and realizing that gas mowers are mighty contributors to air pollution bought into the concept of Re Charge mowers as environmentally acceptable and far less noisy. From the moment we received the first of the two machines the G1 there were problems. The steering left a lot to be desired, but worse a series of defects started to emerge many as reported by others who posted on your web site. The safety features were safe alright to the extent that unless been disconnected the G1 remained safely motionless. The issues mounted up, blade jammed on side of beck cover leading to a relay in black box `burning out??? Had to replace both silver box and black control box twice. Had lengthy dealings with Jim Brody and Allan Hechtman and ended up shelling out another chunk of devalued Canadian dollars for the G2. First thing that had to be done after one mowing of our cottage lawn was remove the break/safety/ mechanism from (front wheel assembly??l) Then electrics went slightly mad. Fortunately a family chum was also a highly trained industrial electrician who was able to deal with the wiring. G2 rocked and rolled, for one cutting, then died. Discovered charger is wonky, that is not charging. So after an expenditure of over 4000 (Cdn devalued they might be but still hurts) we are at the Rubicon of sit down mowers-go for gas or have one more `electing for electric. But I have not been able to find a charger for the G2 or a black box for the G2. Can anyone help?? Perhaps there is an equally frustrated G1/2 owner who is willing to sell me the parts.
