Designed by: David Domanski and Tommie Lucas

What is it?
A cross between a recumbent style bicycle and a traditional reel mower.

What makes this design different or better?
The intention is to replace gasoline-powered lawn mowers which are some of the leading contributors to air pollution. The concept contributes to the well-being of the user by providing a means of cardiovascular conditioning thru everyday yard work. It would consist of modular attachments such as a wheel barrel, mulcher, leaf collector, aerator, etc., which could be purchased separately.
