The mower I have is an old commercial 72 inch Toro with a 3cyl Mitsubishi diesel. It still runs, but needs a major overhaul of the motor and drive system. I havent looked into the feasibilities at all, but was thinking of a couple of drive motors similar to that used in small car conversions and a battery pack with about a 1 hour operation range.
The current engine is rated at 15HP/11Kw, so a 10KWh battery or thereabouts.
I didnt know that there were any electric rideon mowers, but I looked at the Ryobi videos on youtube and it looks like a pretty poor excuse for a mower.
I have a few other higher priority tasks ATM so we'll see what the future holds :).
