Rookies in mower racing all have the same questions about how to build a racing mower? Do not bother searching for online resources because you will have a hard time finding one. I spent hours searching online but could not find any truly helpful resources. And, that is what prompted me to write this article, providing invaluable resource to aspiring mower racers.
Learning how to build a racing mower is the same as learning how to build a Race Car. The principles are the same only that it is easier to work with a mower engine because it is less complicated. Not to mention, less expensive.
Ride On Mower
There is one very important thing that you need to do though prior to working on your mower, and that is familiarizing yourself with the rules and regulations of mower racing.
Associations are strict when it comes to rules so you have to abide by them.
The first thing that you need to work on when building your racing mower is the frame. Having a tough and rigid frame is important so that the mower can withstand rough racing conditions. Imagine rally car racing. That is how rough it gets on the track.
You have to make sure that the frame of your racing mower will not break apart during a race. Not only would it be embarrassing. It could be exceptionally dangerous!
Next (and usually overlooked by those who are learning how to build a racing mower) you have to put your mower on a diet. Excess weight will hurt your chances of winning any mower racing event.
Do everything that you can to lessen the weight of your ride. Consider changing the current seat out for a lighter one, finding out if there is a lighter battery offered, removing parts that the mower can do without, and getting rid of pointless parts to make it smaller and lighter. After all who needs a cup holder in their racing mower?
The more weight you can get off, the better. Just make sure that it is still within the rules and regulations designated for your specific racing class.
Once you are done working on the frame and shedding some pounds, you can start working on the engine. Again, check the rule book before upgrading anything. Know the limits, but push it right to the edge. Races are won on the edges.
When it comes to engines, there are a number of ways for you to learn how to build a racing mower. Working on mower racing engines require skills and expertise so you have to be knowledgeable or you have to find someone that is knowledgeable.
One option is to consult an expert and have him guide you in the process. Once you have built your first, the second will be easy.
Option two is to buy an e-book and use it as a guide. This works for those who like the do-it-yourself approach.
Or, you can learn how to build a racing mower in the process of mower racing itself. I don't mean during the race but as you are participating in events, you learn invaluable new tricks at every event.
Learning how to build a racing mower that is fit for the tracks is only challenging at first. Once you get the hang of it you can build as many racing mowers as you like. Note that depending on who is sanctioning the event, modification requirements may very.

With the Recharge Mower, you can finally make your lawn truly green. This powerful riding mower operates using three electric motors, a proprietary combination that provides low power consumption and optimum performance. And because it doesn't require the mess or expense of gas and oil, this riding mower emits zero carbon emissions, fumes, and odors.
Simple, Straightforward Operation
Complete with an easily accessible seat, this revolutionary mower is incredibly easy to use. The mower is operated through simple hand controls, and the included bagger easily detaches without tools for quick emptying.
To get the Recharge Mower ready for us, simply plug the included UL approved Smart Charger directly into any standard wall outlet. Charge the unit overnight, and it will be ready to mow the next morning--for up to three hours, more than enough time to cut any standard size lawn.
Powerful Mower for a Perfectly Manicured Lawn
When it comes to performance, the Recharge Mower won't let you down. The two long-life, 900-watt electric blades spin at 3,800 RPM for fast cutting. And five selectable cutting heights in half-inch increments from 0.75 to 2.75 ensure a perfectly manicured result.
The Recharge Mower also features a 27-inch wide cutting path--bigger than conventional walk-behind mowers, yet small enough to allow for free movement through an average fence gate, giving you convenient access to front and rear yards. The powerful rear-wheel-drive electric motor provides abundant forward and reverse momentum.
Designed with Safety in Mind
The Recharge Mower was designed with a host of features that ensure optimum user safety. To start, an operator-presence switch prevents the unit from functioning when the operator leaves the seat. Additionally, a blade engagement switch requires two actions to initiate the activation of the blade, and reverse speed limiting means the mower will only operate at half the normal forward speed while in reverse. For further safety, this mower operates quietly, so it's easy on your ears.
Rugged, Durable Construction for Long Life
The Recharge Mower is ultra-durable and won't need tune-ups or special maintenance. Built to last, it boasts a resilient body that's perfectly fitted over a coated and welded metal frame. Additionally, its sealed 36v38Ah batteries are center mounted to improve balance and weight distribution, while its cutting blades are housed within the metal shrouded deck for extra protection against wear and tear.
What's more, all of the Recharge Mower's connections are tight and weatherproofed with shrink wrap, and the electronic components are safely positioned and shielded under the operator seat to prevent damage.
The Recharge Mower conforms to UL1447 and ANSI B71.1 standards and comes with a two-year limited warranty.
What's in the Box
Mower with three sealed batteries; grass catcher; charger; and operator's manual.
