Two Weeks Review of the Ryobi RM300e Ride on Mower | Electric Lawn Service 

I've had mine over 2 years. I haven't had any sign of battery decline. The mower is great. Minimal maintenance. I can mow my .6 acre yard twice on a full charge.

I have this mower. I changed to a single lithium 48 volt battery and the mower is complete different. It has no power loss and it cuts anything with no speed loss.prior to the lithium battery it was a struggle to get through a job with taller grass. The battery is a big limit to this machine. Change the battery, easy to do. I had to buy a new charger but the mower is so much better now it is worth it. I got 2 years of use with the original batteries but I was draining them everything else I used it so it was severe. These lithium batteries have a load potential that is a game changer.

Really surprised. I’ve always thought of ryobi as a cheesy brand but your making me reconsider lol

Love it!! Keep going, I love the idea of swapping batteries! I prefer lifepho4 over most other types just because the lifespan. Just remember to test amps under load to verify you are not over the lifepho4 bms rating.

Thanks for the feedback. I hope the battery swap works out because my company could use this type of setup too. Blessings

Thank you for putting out such relevant, thoughtful and thorough content Michael! Very interesting and beneficial to see what you are doing. I think this switch up will pay off for you in terms of employee retention and efficiency. Very few people have the endurance or wherewithal to push mow 10-12 lawns a day more than a few days a week for years on end I imagine, with this setup maybe that'll change and you can get just as much or more done with fewer employees.

I just received my Ryobi and used it for the first time. I was very impressed with it, only issue I had was how the mulcher was connected to the deck.

Was really considering adding this 30 inch Ryobi to my setup. I have the ego 21 push mower and 52 Zero turn, and having a 30 inch would speed things up so much. Wish somebody made a 30 push mower, one can dream.

Ford transit connect or promaster city with a ramps would eliminate the need for a trailer and they still get 25+ mpg

Michael, if you mentioned it I missed it. With the OEM battery what kind of run time are you getting? Also, being lead acid batteries, are you not having to watch to make sure you don't discharge it below 50% capacity? This intrigues me to no end, but I need to find more information it (specifics, battery comps and costs) before I rush out and pick one up for my little one man company.

What happens if the blade hits a branch or rock? Broken blade, broken mower?

How do you clean the underside of deck?

can u mulch the leaves during fall?

I still find it odd that this is the only 30" option the electric companies can offer, I'm looking to replace my gas equipment but I don't want to give up the efficiency of my Exmark 30x

Where did you buy that cover for the grass shoot?

I wonder how LiP04 batteries would fair in this. you get like 8.5 -10 years out of those easy but they are heavier.

I'm curious, how does it go into forwards and reverse? Is it that black thing by the accelerator? I have a few year old riding mower and it uses a rocker switch next to the ignition key but I see it's no longer there in the new design.

What is the ideal psi of the front and back tires? Thanks

How to change the side chute to mulching chute please

I know this was posted 9 months ago. How goes it now...? Did you change the batteries, if so how did you do it, how does the setup look now?

How's it holding up? I've heard nightmare stories about Ryobi electric stuff going bad. But I have looked at this model several times

Walmart makes the same mower under Hart brand. Comes with Lithium batteries.

Does it have a bag option

Are there any anti-scalp provisions on the cutting deck?

I'm considering this mower or a Toro eS3000. What are your thoughts on the Toro?

how is holding up now

My client wants a mobility scooter. This is both

I liked your video until you said that you're wanting small trailers to pull it with your Prius. I want to see somebody pulling one of these with a 1-ton dually.

Yeah sry bout that mentioning other mowers I didn't pay attention that u chose Ryobi just wanted to say that

👍👍

It's Sell in Indonesia ?

I've had mine for 2 years and now my battery won't keep a charge I called Ryobi and they don't carry the battery they told me to look it up on Google and find one 🤔 I don't even know how to take it apart to find the battery 😭💔 2500.00 for 2 years isn't what I was expecting I thought I would at least get 4 or 5 years . I did love it for the first 2 years but now I'm very disappointed. I thought it would last longer. And I thought when I would need parts Ryobi would be able to help me. And that's not the case.

Using this mower will cause a big increase in trimming time.

How long the battery last

Please do not buy this lawnmower. Battery last 6 months and they don’t know when they can replace. $4000 gone 😂😢😢

The tires are cheap garbage. Keep it up on buckets over the winter when the wheels deflate, or they will unseal and it’s a PIA to inflate them in the spring. Also, rubbed one of the rear tires up against a tree branch and it cut a gash through the tire. Super frustrating. I guess this is a great electric riding mower if you have a simple yard with no trees or anything you might bump into. Don’t expect a lawnmower that’s durable.

DO NOT BUY A RYOBI RIDER. Read the numerous 1 star reviews. The 4 and 5 star reviews are only new Ryobi owners. I have had mine for 2 summers. Maybe 30-40 hours. I need to replace all 4 batteries. Only about $1000 to replace. Not under warranty. 1 year manufacturers warranty for the batteries. Ryobi fluffed me off and said I had to deal with the battery manufacturer as it wasn't there problem. The battery manufacturer said Ryobi would authorize a 75% discount for my trouble. However when I told them I need them in Canada I was told Ryobi wouldn't give the 75% discounted rate to Canadians and the manufacturer won't ship them to Canada. I have about 20 or so Ryobi power tools and I can't get rid of them fast enough. Which is too bad since I really like them. If Ryobi won't stand behind there expensive products than they don't deserve my business for any of there other products. Not only should Ryobi stand behind there product and not hide behind fine print, they should actually try and find out why these machines are killing batteries so fast. Read the reviews, so many people are only getting a few hours out of there machines. And yes if you are wondering, I plug my machine in all the time. It is never left unplugged.

The hand being thrown into shot all the time is very annoying.

WARNING this is crap

What the battery look like? how fast does it go? How loud is it?
