I’m assuming that lead acid is cheaper than comparable lithium. In a riding mower, weight is of little concern, so lead is much more cost effective. If the mower has any accessories such as a blade, then the added weight is an advantage - my ElecTrak is very heavy and so has lots of traction.
You will enjoy the quiet mowing and not fooling with another ICE. I tell my friends : The complexity of your life is directly proportional to how many gas engines you own, 2 strokes count double.
