I'm definitely headed in that direction. My ICE riding mower is starting to self-destruct (it is 12 years old, after all), and so I am currently in the thick of restoring (and upgrading) a 1970's vintage General Electric E-15 Elec-Trak mower. After this, I can mow early in the morning when it is relatively cool without disturbing the neighbors, and will save around $4.00 per mow, maybe more.

Aside from mowers, I've tried ICE powered tools like weed eaters, etc., and quickly came to the conclusion it just isn't worth it when an electric starts up instantly, every time, and runs cleanly without requiring me to wear hearing protection.
