New technology is always emerging in landscaping equipment. We are always looking for new ways to improve efficiency and reduce the cost of lawn maintenance. One of the newest pieces of technology to emerge recently, is the Recharge electric riding lawn mower. This article will introduce you to the Recharge and how it can change the way you take care of your lawn.
The make of an electric powered riding mower will be similar in outside appearance, but internally very different from gas powered riding mowers. This type of mower is powered by 3 batteries placed inside the center of the mower. The location of these batteries is ideal, because it reduces the chance or accidental contact, and keeps the mower balanced. Another difference you will find is the size of the mower. Gasoline powered riding mowers are typically have a 34 inch or greater cutting path. The Recharge electric riding mower has a 27 inch cutting path that makes it easier to maneuver and store.
You may be wondering how you will charge the batteries used to power the Recharge. This product can simply be plugged into an electrical outlet overnight, and will be ready to go the next morning. The Recharge can run for 3 hours on a fully charged set of batteries, and takes about 10-12 to recharge. Some nice features that you may like on the Recharge are its cut settings and safety features. There are 5 settings that allow you to select a specific cutting height for your grass. It’s safety features require the user to be sitting on the mower and engaging a switch to operate the blades. The unit also has a speed cap and will not rotate the blades during reverse driving.
Some may be concerned about using an electric riding mower outdoors because of changes in weather. It’s true that you would not want to use this type of riding mower in the rain, but any riding mower would have some trouble with a wet environment. For most people, the benefits of being eco-friendly and producing little noise, outweighs this issue. Another benefit of the Recharge riding mower is the reduction in maintenance. You will only need to check the quality of the blades after long periods of non use, and replace batteries occasionally over the years. The easiest way to purchase the Recharge riding mower is online as few local stores will carry this type of item.
