A good friend has a Ryobi electric riding mower and his wife has been using it
for over 3 years. Battery capacity is noticeably less than when new (but she
mows until the machine slows down considerably). They don't like the "cruise
control" on their hilly yard as there is no regenerative braking so it speeds
up going downhill. The ride is very rough on their rough yard, too, and he
found features like the charging for I-phone to be frivolous. But he seems
fairly happy with the machine otherwise, especially since his wife likes to use
it.Personally, I like my E-15 GE tractor. I replaced the controls with newer
solid state parts but still spend a lot of time on maintenance and repairs,
mostly mower motor bearings, leaky tires, and other things that aren't
surprising on a machine approaching 50 years old. I can mow a couple of acres
of rough lawn and orchard on my 5 year old golf cart batteries, and tow pretty
good sized loads on trailers when I need to.
