I have high hopes to build an electric push mower in the next few weeks so I can get rid of the gas mower along with the gas cans in my garage.
Now I have a 36v 1/3hp motor, I have no idea what it's from but I was wondering if anyone else has found low HP 24v or 36v motors from things like electric forklifts that would work for push mowers.
I thought about coping the 12v electric mower that my parents have, but with a higher voltage it seems like you can then use smaller gauge wire and either have more lead acid batteries so you get more mow time, or like in my case use some of the 36v DeWalt lithium cordless tool batteries that I already have, along with the mounting plate for said batteries so they can clip on to the mower just like they clip on to the cordless tool.
So anyone else up to the challenge of trying to build an electric push mower and getting rid of their gas mower?
