Don't buy this hunk of junk. I just returned one at $4k and it wasn't the price that turned me off, $3k is a great deal if it was a regular lever style ZTR. That's the issue the joystick is extremely overly sensitive and this mower has a ton of power/speed so you end up all over the place, forget about driving in a straight line as you are pretty much fighting the joystick the entire time. Intuitively when you let go of the joystick it should snap to the middle and go straight, but it doesn't, there is no snap at all which defaults to straight to the point of being dangerous. You can't even easily find neutral, I found myself trying to avoid hitting something while trying to find neutral and avoid hitting the parking brake which abruptly stops the mower hard enough to throw you forward pretty badly. So basically you can't really do a straight line, can't go around smaller objects or perimeters without risk of hitting things.

It's a shame because it's very very well built and Ryobi ditched the AWFUL Leoch lead acid batteries which only lasted a year. I wouldn't be surprised that they were clearing these out due to poor sales and returns. Maybe after a few iterations they will work out the joystick issues, but this is pretty much a first generation product and functions like an experiment.

EDIT: FYI I forgot to add, for anyone considering a riding mower be aware of the crappy nature of most of these warranties. If you need service it's on YOUR dime to transport these to a service center, and I've researched it's very difficult to find a service center near you, it's typical to not have one for 50-100+ miles because most dealers just deal with gas powered and not electric. Ryobi, Greenworks, and Hart all function this way, although Hart's customer service swears they will send a technician to do repairs on-site, it's still not actually in their warranty. So if you have no way to transport one of these you should definitely think twice, at the very minimum check on their website for the nearest service center, call them and make sure they do service the electric mowers, and ask if they do transportation. In the north NJ area all the dealers said they don't do transportation, but when they used to do it they would charge $300 round trip and only did local pickups.

I want one of these so much but it's hard to justify with a third of an acre minus the large portion my house and driveway take up.

Isn't 30" kinda small for a ZTR?

Says they are lithium. Looks like it uses 2x 40 volt batteries also uses 2x 80 volt batteries

Powered by 4 brushless motors with (2) 80V 10Ah lithium-ion batteries and (2) 40V 12Ah lithium-ion batteries, giving users the power they need with the convenience of cordless. There is also (1) additional 80V port and (2) additional 40V ports allow users to extend runtime with batteries from their collection

Yeah. You can probably cut that lot with scissors in 20 minutes.
I have 1/3 and mow in 20 minutes with my Milwaukee Fuel Mower.
Though a rider electric would be nice for my parents 2 acre...

I thought they've (Ryobi) always been lithium?

Well, what I meant to say is that anything they've made/sold (re: battery powered/cordless tools, etc) in at least the past 10-15 years... has all been lithium powered, right?

Furthermore, I thought Ni-Cad battery technology was phased out of a lot of tool maker's lineups the past 10-15 years.

Can anyone confirm? Not a big deal. Just trying to get some clarity. : )

They made some lead acid riding mowers not long ago. Went on clearance for $500 in the end.
