I've collected a whole bunch of info, video's and reviews for the Jacobsen line of electric and hybrid mowers. I'll update this post and re-post as I gather more reviews, so be sure to send me your thoughts on these products.
Check out these two video's from the guys at Krigger, recorded at The Club at Nevillewood. A brief but comprehensive review of the Jacobsen Eclispe 322 Electric Mower. Here's some product info links for you. Eclipse 322 Product Brochure, Eclipse 322 Electric Homepage, Eclipse 322 Hybrid Homepage and the Eclipse 322 Microsite and Cost Savings Calculator
Here's another video showing Jacobsen electric greens mower being demonstrated in front of the new Golf Club on the Trail Creek Golf course in Sun Valley Idaho. The mower is really quiet and clean running on golf cart batteries. Master mower Darren operates the unit for the crowd showing the technique that won him 3rd place in the southeast Idaho mowing divisional.

Scott,
I'm pretty positive I'll be ordering the 322 electric in Orlando. Your comments about the quietness are true, and we need to be quiet until about 9am around our neighbors. I've put this purchase off hoping they would drop some weight. Can you buy aftermarket battery packs that are lighter?
