Bicycle-powered Lawn work? Just tested the 100 foot 10 gauge extensive cord and new Greenworks 40 volt bolt (plus the Toro vacuum-shredder)

 


 So I now have the 356 Watthour lithium generator charging up the 40 volt x 3 amp (120 Watt-hour) Lawn Greenworks equivalent battery!!

So then tomorrow I can charge up the lithium generator on the bicycle. haha.

So first I wanted to test out the electrical extensive at 100 feet and sure enough it barely made it to where I wanted. I go outside and there is the new Greenworks Leaf Blower at the door!! So I threw in a 3 amphour battery - only to discover it was out of power. So it's charging now.

So I took another new 6 amphour battery that was charged up at 90% or so. Didn't seem to use much power over a half hour of shredding leaves - or probably 20 minutes. And 20 minutes of blowing leaves.

The cordless leaf blower is not as powerful as the Toro leaf blower. But since it's Cordless it's way more easy to use and much lighter weight - and on Turbo it's strong enough for wet leaves. So pretty awesome.

The Toro leaf blower will tear out grass at close range - so I have to be careful.

But until next time I have a LOT of bicycling to do - at 2 amp-hour charging to get up to 120 watts as 12 volts? What is that. 120/24 = 6 hours more or less!! 

So that's doable for sure.

Just space it out over a few days.
