Today I tried out my new Ego battery powered riding lawnmower and it was... well...
Complicated.

There are at least 3 complications in play: 1. I've never driven a zero-turn machine before. It's simple in principle but not as easy as it seems in the heat of the moment. (aka trying not to hit a tree) 2. My yard is apparently more sloped than is ideal for these sorts of mowers. I was worried about that, but I had no idea where the line was. I think my yard is over the line. 3. The battery life was rated for 1.5 acres. I have 1 acre. That seemed like it'd be good enough margin. It is not.
