  • Publication number: 20230117891
    Abstract: A zero-turn radius lawnmower includes a chassis having a rear frame, a crossbeam, and a subframe, and a battery receptacle for receiving a battery pack. A first rear suspension cradle is rotatable coupled to the crossbeam on a first end, and is movably coupled to the first side panel on a second end. The first rear suspension cradle supports a first electric motor configured to rotate a first drive wheel supported by the first rear suspension cradle. A second rear suspension cradle is rotatably coupled to the crossbeam on a first end and movably coupled to the second side panel on a second end. The second suspension cradle supports a second electric motor configured to rotate a second drive wheel supported by the second rear suspension cradle. The first rear suspension cradle and the second rear suspension cradle are independently rotatable relative to the rear frame.
