Hi,
what is your opinion on electric/battery-powered (reel) mowers in US? Does anybody use them? Do you prefer good old engine powered mower or would you rather try more quiet electric/battery-powered mower?

 

[SwardmanGuy]

Just to let you know...we invented brand new battery-powered reel mower - Electra. The basic information can be found at: https://www.swardman.com/us/news/silent-mowing-revolution-is-here-swardman-electra/ ...as one of my friends said Its Super Badass!!!

Is it based on your 45cm cutting unit?

Is it quiet enough to cut early morning?

Reminds me of this classic...

Hi, yes. Its compatible with our gas powered mower - Edwin. The same two sizes. 18in and 22in. Even replaceable cartridges are similar (you can-with small modification (=changing belt pulley) - switch reel/scarifier/verticutter/rotary brush between Electra and Edwin).

... yes. Its quiet enough. You hear only the rotating reel.. so the only thing that can deter you from mowing grass is bad weather (and not angry neighbour)

The price has not been specified yet. But could start about 2.500USD. Depends on the battery pack. There are 3 possibilities.
Battery sufficient to mow 700, 1300 or 1800yd2. So the price will depend on the used battery and size of the mower...
