Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads.

My dad. 80+ years old refuses to use a mobility scooter - and with good reason! He uses his zero-turn 350cc 48hp OHV lawnmower to go to the shops with style and authority.

24 HP, 48" deck, 725 cc engine, Ariens Zoom 2448XL

I was thinking mostly about other people, when he drives to go stopping ;-)

48hp is a lot from only 350cc! more than most sports cars :D

Yup, I'd be surprised if it actually has more than 15-20 hp.

It may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts: I've made a lot of special modifications myself.

i mean, i have a motorcycle that makes 185hp per litre, which is ~65hp/350cc, so it's not impossible...

I know it is not impossible. Just improbable. My motorcycle is 183 hp/liter, but it's built for high performance, not to mow lawns.
