Heaterlol
Instrumentationon dash amp gauge I installed myself.... battery gauge
Top Speed11 MPH (17 KPH)
the motor is now breaking in so now it does 11 mph rather then 9 mph... so that's 2 mph more, so by the time the motor is completely broken in it may do 12...that's still too fast in the grass with no suspension, but still fun...
Accelerationalmost instant top speed but I start off slow, because there is so much torque i'm afraid it will detroy the tranny...
Rangeupdate on range: i have taken it for a 20 minute ride with my little girl on the side road... and the gauge barely moved... i had it on full throttle too.. so i think it will run for a full hour none stop before it runs out of juice.....

Curb Weight200 Pounds (90 Kilograms)

Additional Featuresupdate 3-18-2007
today i decided to put my tractor would do in a tug of war with my toro... my lovely wife ran the murray ele, and i ran the toro... the murray ele surprized me and held it's ground. neither won the tug of war.. but i a small way the electric tractor won because it did not get drug all over the grass by the toro...btw the toro has an 18hp ice and my tractor is only 1.5 but produces massive torque in 1st gear.

was a 2 year old Murray mover and the motor blew it's piston rod...... so I decided to convert it into electric...it is for the kids to have fun on and for hauling wood plants and such for the wife and I....it is over twice as fast now and is fun to ride....
