RE: (ET) 0 turn radius electric mower...

Great link Tim.  Note Cushman (made scooters in the '50's) is 
one of the largest producers of electric 'plant trucks'.  The 
thing probably works real nice.  Let's see, 3.5 hp x 2 
(assuming 2 motors)= 7 hp.  

That's probably about the continuous rating of a GE....
100 amps (or so) x 36 v =3600 watts, divide by 760 watt/hp... 
hmm...
