It’s not that mowing your lawn could be hazardous to the environment but mowing your lawns with petrol riding mowers isn’t really right when you’re conserving energy and during times when gas prices are high. So, thanks to Husqvarna, in five years time, we would be seeing electric riding mowers. The Panthera Leo is a concept riding mower powered by Lithium phosphate battery which can give you two hours of cutting time. The Panthera Leo has three cutting decks so that it can mow your lawn evenly even on bumpy terrain. There’s even a mounted LCD which informs the user of the mower’s speed, sensors, and cutting height. And to further the fact that the Panthera Leo is a green machine, this baby is made from recycled materials!

But of course, until we can see this baby in production, tree huggers can still use hand-pushed electric lawn mowers.
