Mobility
The mower carries the generator to remote areas, large properties, and locations far from a wall outlet.
The origin of MowGen
The generators wouldn't start.
The mowers would.
After Hurricane Ian crossed central Florida in September 2022, neighborhoods around Lake Wales were left without utility power. Homeowners pulled portable generators out of storage—only to discover that many would not run.
Neighbors began bringing their generators to inventor Anthony Giunta, who had experience with small engines. The pattern was obvious: some generators had sat unused for years, and stale fuel had damaged or fouled their carburetors.
At the same time, something else stood out. Riding mowers throughout the neighborhood were running—cutting grass, moving debris, and helping with cleanup. Those engines were used regularly and maintained routinely.
“Why maintain another engine just for emergencies when there's already a reliable engine sitting in the garage?”
That observation became the idea behind MowGen: remove the mower deck, install a purpose-built generator in its place, and turn a frequently used riding mower into a highly mobile source of electrical power.
