Project EMOW is a challenge to take a petrol powered lawn mower, a website designer with passable DIY skills, a bunch of ideas and combine them to produce an electric powered ride on lawn mower that is capable of mowing my 1 1/2 acre lawns.
This site it to share my successes and failures as I travel on this journey to create my emower 'Old Smokey'.
