Electric lawnmower repairs

Here's a cobalt electric lawnmower that had its initiation wire chewed up by a puppy.
I added 3/4 conduit because that was the first piece I found. Make it slightly more puppy resistant. Repaired for less than $10, charged $50.

Edit: I tested it out, this thing sux. It's got no power. The blade was beaten blunt and I never ran it with a blunt blade. I can't imagine how terrible it was when it was using brut strength which it absolutely doesn't have to cut the grass.
My junk loaner mower with a no compression 140cc engine that's on its last leg is a huge improvement over this thing. My black and decker plug in mower that I had from 2006 to 2017 would be a huge improvement assuming it was still alive.
