Assessment of the Operational Performance of Self-Propelled Lawnmowers Equipped with Different Engine Types

This paper presents an evaluation of the performance characteristics of lawnmowers powered by gasoline engines and electric motors.Particular emphasis is placed on usability, reduced maintenance requirements, noise emission levels, and environmental sustainability.A custom electric lawnmower was constructed for the purposes of this study, involving the selection and integration of suitable motors, batteries, and auxiliary components.A comparative analysis was subsequently conducted between the conventional gasoline-powered lawnmower and the electrically powered prototype.Measurements of operational duration and efficiency indicated notable improvements in mowing time and maintenance-related costs.The findings underscore the potential advantages of transitioning to electric propulsion technologies, both from the perspective of sustainable development and environmental responsibility, as well as in terms of operational convenience.
