Now that I've been happily driving a LEAF for a couple of years, I've been thinking about replacing my gas lawn tractor and my boat's gas outboard motor. Has anyone else pursued these items?
I can only find one electric riding mower currently in production, the Cub Cadet RZT-S Zero. It looks interesting, but I can find no local dealer who has one, and no reviews regarding its performance.
There are a number of electric outboard motors, beyond the common little electric fishing trolling motors. Briggs and Stratton used to make one, but apparently no longer. The highest-tech (and highest cost) ones seem to come from a German company, Torqeedo/. Very interesting design and they appear to be very efficient. Reviews are uneven though, with some stating that longevity is a problem. There are American manufacturers as well, including Ray Electric Outboards, Elco Motor Yachts.
