24-Chainsaw powered motorcycle - video and photo

Interesting. I did get a cheapo Amazon electric $100 pole trimmer, and it's gotten quite a bit of use cutting ladder fuels around the property. So far I've only had to change out the gearbox for $50. The li-ion batteries do wear down over time. Sometimes I will even use it where a chainsaw would be more appropriate, because it's faster to start, and obviously much safer; even with its shortest extension, I'm six feet away from the chain.

The electric chainsaws are also gaining favor among forestry contractors doing government contracts in public places, like parks. People don't want to listen to 2-cycle engines.
