I an inspired "Hold my beer!" moment, I decided to mount a seat on my Remote Control Lawn Mower.

I recently converted a Ryobi 20" 40V electric push lawn mower into a Remote Control lawn mower by adding power wheel chair motors from a mobility scooter. Since I still had the seat left over from the mobility scooter, I thought "What the Heck? Why not!" and mounted the seat to the mower.

Was this a bad idea? Yes.
Did it work? Also yes.
The mower worked just fine with me on top, although it was top-heavy and, of course, dangerous.

The wheelchair motors are controlled with a Cytron dual motor controller: https://amzn.to/432qeaw
The control signal for it is from a basic FlySky remote control: https://amzn.to/4j10txk
