DIY Electric Lawnmower Conversion – Push Reel to Battery Powered Using Scooter Parts!

I took a used manual reel lawnmower and converted it into a battery-powered electric mower using scooter parts from Amazon — and best of all, it runs on my existing power tool batteries!

This project was a fun and practical way to upcycle a push reel mower into something way easier to use — no gas, no cords, and no more sweat!

In this video, I cover:
   •   How I mounted the motor and drive system
   •   Wiring up the speed controller and throttle
   •   How I used battery adapters to power it with my cordless tool batteries
   •   Test runs and performance results
