i considered both the cordless electric as well as the Reel mowers.

Issues i have read about the REEL mowers is you have to cut the grass often - the Reel does not tolerate grass that is to long - so cutting every week ( or more often in spring)

Which would not be all that bad - get my Butt out exersizing more often.

When my lower dies - I am going to look into an electric conversion - get a small 1 HP - 12 V electric engine. probably can covert for much less the cost than a new one.

Besides this will help he deside if i think i can really convert a CAR to electric....
