Curious watt folks here think about the "GUMPP"
"This product is designed to supply power to remote locations or assist (reduce) power demands from the grid."

"Picture shown of our current prototype to give you an idea of what our production model will look like."

Battery availability
Flooded lead acid (Trojan 8 volt batteries - six required)
Approximately 1.5 hours run time with mower deck
Nickel metal hydride can be provided; however, we are exploring other options first.
Approximately 2.5 to 4 hours run time with mower deck
AGM (Advanced Glass Mat) batteries are coming soon. These batteries will be the recommended option for out GUMPP vehicle. These batteries are 40% lighter and 40% more efficient than flooded lead acid.
Approximately 2.5 to 4 hours run time with mower deck
Lithium batteries will be available at a later date; however, we will only sell this pack with our battery management system.
Approximately 4 hours or more run time with mower deck
Approximate weight of the GUMPP is around 700 to 1000 pounds depending on the optional attachments used.
Designed with handicapped persons, the GUMPP has one remote joy stick to operate the power plant and the attachments. The joy stick can be moved from the standard right hand location to the left hand as required by the operator. No foot pedals are required for operating the GUMPP.

Attachments can be removed or added using one wrench (floor jack not provided with standard unit).
Multiple attachments only require one power source
Mower deck with blades
Desk oscillates in multiple directions to help prevent scalping (only deck on market with this design).
Reel mower deck
Snow blower
Two wheel or front wheel assist bar (no attachments available with this option at this time)

I'm thinkin' it's a FAIL...
tks

Needs a iittle more streamlining (IMHO). What's the CD factor?
 
Hehe... CD factor...

Pretty sure it could split wood. Seems like it is conceived as the Swiss Army Knife of EVs... The inventors are soliciting ideas for add-ons... go for it. I have only see splitters as hydraulic but I suppose a geared electric motor could serve w/out introducing hydraulics to the mix.

Please note the subtle allusion to "the Gump", a flying goat-like character found in the marvelous land of Oz by L.Frank Baum, consisting of two couches, a palm tree tail, and an elk's head (with whiskers), brought to life by the "Powder of Life" and used by Jack Pumpkinhead to ferry Tip (princess Ozma in drag) around Oz.
 
Ahhhh! OK... makes sense... sorta. Kinda doubt most prospective buyers will know this!
