Introducing RYOBI's first lithium-ion battery powered zero turn riding mower, the RYOBI 80V HP Brushless 30" Lithium Electric ZTR.* HP Technology and 80V batteries combine to deliver the power equivalent of a 28 horsepower gas engine*, while eliminating the hassle and maintenance of a gas mower. This rider cuts up to 1 acre per charge with the help of 4 brushless motors and (2) 80V 10Ah batteries, with a Super Charger that fully recharges in 1.5 hours so you're ready for your next job. The revolutionary iDrive system uses an intuitive one-handed joystick steering to maneuver around objects more easily than a traditional ZTR. The innovative LCD screen displays runtime, battery life, and more, while the Riding Mower app allows you to monitor charge time and battery life remotely. The 12-point height adjustment allows you to select the perfect cutting height between 1.5" and 4.5". This mower continues to lead innovation with the compatible Bagger Boost accessory, which quickly clears the chute with the press of a button. The 30" deck and rubber side discharge chute allow this rider to fit through a standard 36" gate, and makes it easy to maneuver around landscaping. Designed with comfort and convenience in mind, this mower features a premium seat, a USB port to charge phones, a storage compartment, and LED headlights. Lawn maintenance will never be the same thanks to the RYOBI 80V HP Brushless 30" Lithium Electric Zero Turn Riding Mower.

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.

Isn't 30" kinda small for a ZTR?

!!Warning!! Unless they switched to Lithium the batteries on these only last a couple seasons and are expensive to replace.
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

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.
