48V Brushless 54 in. 115 Ah Battery Electric Riding Zero Turn Mower

Terrific product so far. I now have the nicest field in the area. And it is fun to ride- no more mowing chores, gas fumes and mess

I got this mower last fall in Peterborough Ont. I love it and I have converted it to solar . It is completely charged by the sun. The solar panel also provides great shade. The major problem so far is you cannot buy replacement blades in Home Depot Canada. You can see my youtube video ( save the world go green)

Simple assembly and smooth operation!

I love this mower! I can't say enough about it, we live on a farm and we do get tall grass and it handles it. The fabricated deck is first rate, solid and reinforced on the leading edge. It has a nice large chute that almost never gets plugged and welded and reinforced deck baffles. The controls are easy to use and precise. My only complaint is the charger, when they say it must charge overnight, they mean it. it charges extremely slow. Also, we have had it only a month and now the charger has gone bad on it so we're waiting a couple weeks for a replacement. It's on backorder, so I hope it isn't going to continue to be a problem.

First off, pick it up at the store. Don’t ship to your home. The last mile carrier they use was a disaster. After more than a month and countless phone calls, I had to cancel my order and reorder for pick up at the store. Anyway, I’ve mowed my lawn 3 times with it now. I estimate it’s about 1.5 acres if I do it all. First time I did the whole lawn and put it away with 45% left. The second time I didn’t do the back part, so maybe just 1 acre and again it had 45% left. The third time I did the whole lawn and glanced down at the gage near the end and it said 15%. I finished up and parked it outside the garage to open the door. When I sat down and turned it back on, it was at 40%. So, I don’t know if the batteries were getting overheated or maybe the gage just isn’t accurate or what. Anyway, maybe it can do 3.5 acres, but I’m a little doubtful and I’d be afraid to push that. I have no previous experience with zero turn mowers, but everyone wanted to see it when I got it and I got the feeling from others that it handled similarly to any other zero turn. I think the biggest perk is the reduced noise, which I think is considerable although I still use hearing protection. I also like the simplicity and lack of maintenance required. I can’t say it’s stood the test of time yet, but it seems well made and to be good quality. We’ll see how long the batteries last and how bad they are to replace when the time comes, but hopefully that won’t be for years to come. Bottom line, I think the future is bright for electric lawn mowers and I’m enjoying mine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Ryobi 54" mower is so smooth and does not require user to wear hearing protection. The seat is the most comfortable I have experienced allowing me to cut large areas for hours at a time. The noise is minimal & when the mower is not engaged there is a little hum of the battery as you glide along. Battery charge lasts up to 3+ hours depending on height and thickness of cutting surface. The controls are well suited for easy reach during operation. There are two compartments to hold cell phone, etc. and easy to reach drink holders. The design was very well planned for ease of operation. Environmentally friendly using no gas & oil and little noise.

3.5 acres is a stretch, unless you have a very flat, smooth lawn and can go near top speed. My backyard is a challenge and I can still get about 1.8 acres done in under an hour and a half (compared to 3.5 hours on my lawn tractor) with 25% battery left.

Far exceeded my expectations. My property was overtaken by mustard weeds. I was able to mow down weeds more than 4 feet high. Amazing. I highly recommend this machine. I mow over 5 acres.
