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.

You are probably referring to the old 480e which used lead-acid batteries. It is true that those dont last long, but it is generally not anywhere as bad you made it out. My friend in Chicago just replaced his after 5 years of midwest winter - it doesnt get much worse than that for lead-acid batteries charging outside in the garage.
Says they are lithium. Looks like it uses 2x 40 volt batteries also uses 2x 80 volt batteries
And yes, the early models were lead-acid, but they have ALL become Li now. They have also completely done away with the traditional zero turn sticks.

With that said, I have a question. I mean this with all due respect and hope this isn't offensive or anything like that. Do you play video games much? If not, would you be able to pick up a controller, like an Xbox or PlayStation or Nintendo controller, and play a basic video game without too much trouble?
It's not worth my time or money.
