Abstract: An electric lawn apparatus is provided including a frame having an upper body and a lower support body, two drive motors, a mow deck supporting multiple deck motors, and a battery. The apparatus further includes a motor control panel having one or more control modules that control the drive motors and the deck motors and a regenerative energy control module; and a regenerative energy absorbing module that is physically decoupled from the motor control panel and is activated by the regenerative energy control module when the voltage from the battery exceeds a voltage threshold.

Abstract: An electric lawn apparatus is provided including a frame, an operator seat mounted on an upper body, two drive motors secured two side plates for driving two rear tires, a mow deck secured below a lower support body of the frame that supports at least one deck motor driving a mow blade, a footrest platform secured to the lower support body of the frame, and a motor control panel located between the mow deck and the footrest platform. The motor control panel includes a plate that supports multiple control modules and controls a supply of electric power to the drive motors and the deck motor.
