The Benefits Of An Electric Lawn Mower

Taking care of your lawn is very important because it is the first thing people see when they drive by your home. The equipment you use will determine the quality of the cut you get for your lawn. It can be expensive to maintain it with gas prices continually increasing. It is also hard to do when the weather gets warm as it is difficult to find the motivation when the sun is beating down on you. Investing in an electric lawn mower can be a very good investment.

What can an electric lawn mower offer? They are not as noisy as traditional lawn mowers, about 75% less, and they are easy to clean. It is nice not to have to hear the loud noise as you push it around your yard and your neighbors will appreciate it too. They also operate with the use of a rechargeable battery instead of gas. All you have to do is push a button to start it so no more fighting to get it going.

Most people who try an electric lawn mower find they prefer it over a gas powered model because it is so easy to use and take care of. It also cuts the grace very well. They are less expensive to purchase and cost less to maintain as you don't need to pay for oil, grease, or gas to operate it. Teenagers can easily push the lawn mower around with supervision so they can assist you with keeping your yard looking the very best possible. An electric lawn mower is easy for teens ages 17 and up to use, thus you will not be caught in the midst of doing the job alone. As with most mowers, please pay attention to your teen as they cut the lawn with the electric mower.

What to do with old electric lawn mower engine?

I have an electric lawn mower engine that I would like to use as an engine for a gokart. Is this possible? Can I connect to batteries?

You don't say whether this engine is from a corded or cordless lawn mower.

Obviously, corded mowers run off of 120VAC (in the US). These cannot easily be converted for battery operation. The cost of the inverter you would need would scuttle the whole project. It would have to have VVVF (variable voltage, variable frequency) characteristics.

If you have an engine from a cordless mower, then yes, you can probably use this for a go-kart. These engines are typically on the order of a few horsepower, and will run well with a heavy-duty battery. You need to find the voltage of the engine, as they are not all the same. Some of the premium ones today run off 24VDC. The controller, while not rudimentary, is realizable for a project as yours.
