I have an old simple ICE push mower, that might be worth converting. Can anyone recommend the sort of motor I should look for?
Re-purposing a motor would be nice. I would use LFP batteries. What about the shock of the blade hitting something nearly immobile? That is a lot of shock that small engines are able to handle - special consideration in the regard with electric motors? Mounting the blade seem non-trivial? Hints? Thanks! I just saw a Li ion powered mower on line for $500. supposed to run for 45 minutes and charge back in 30. That sounds like a practical target. 48V pack. Weighs 62lb. Any thought on this side of the equation? 36V? 60V? Capacity needed to go 45 minutes? -- Don't believe everything you read on the Internet - Abraham Lincoln A public-opinion poll is no substitute for thought. *Warren Buffet* Michael E.
