(ET) DIY ET's

["Robert" <euclid delhitel net>]

I have several ET motors of different sizes. I was thinking of moding a 
conventional mower using AGM batteries. My friend has a relatively small 
yard and I can contour the battery size to her application. Does anyone have 
one of the small ET mower only riders? I was wondering how they worked, not 
everyone needs an E20 in fact I wasn't thinking of restoring my E15's first 
using AGM batteries too. While I have  over an acre to mow I'm retired and 
can do the lawn over two days or half in the morning and the rest later in 
the day.

Anyone familiar with this Cub Cadet electric ZTR mower?  I just noticed it 
for the first time in the new issue of Pop Mech.

Similarly, is there a site that tracks all manufactured electric mowers?
There are a lot of no-name electric riders popping up- here's one.

None near the quality and durability of an ET, but I'd like to see some 
impartial reviews.  Personally, I'm working on a Simplicty Sovereign 48V 
conversion, as I couldn't afford an Electric Ox (even if they do enter 
production someday), and Elec Traks are pretty rare in the Pacific NW!
