Has anyone out there in Elec-trak land attempted or at least
thought through the idea of converting an electric golf cart to an
electric riding lawn mower?
At first blush it would appear (at least to the uninformed) to be as
simple as adding the necessary support structure to the front end to
guide/push an Elec-trak mower deck and to modify the available
electronics with the necessary PTO switch/contactor, etc. wired
directly to the battery pack.
I've seen some golf carts out there with all terrain tires, lift kits
etc. which suggest there is sufficient power available for navigating
off road terrain which shouldn't be much more demanding that the
average gentrified, residential lawn.
Am I missing some electrical/mechanical obstacle or incompatibility
here in thinking this may be a practical thing (in the face of an aging
but still plugging along 1973 E-15)?
