is this mower rear wheel drive and does it work well on a hill or slope?

It's manual with no drive. The mower itself is light but the car sized battery is heavy. If you have slopes or hills I would look at a powered version.

They have a self propelled unit, but I didn't buy that unit - but even without rear wheel drive, I've used it easily on hills and slopes.

No, it's not rear wheel drive. I have the push version and it does as well as I do on hills. Excellent mower.

No, it has no assist. It's fairly heavy, too, since it has a big, long-lasting battery. It's part of my exercise regimen ;-)

This mower is not power driven. (No rear or front wheel drive.) It is heavier than most and would be hard to push up a slope and would tend to get away from you going down hill.

The slope isn't an issue as long as the wheels don't skate. If there is ice, wheels skate and Power Smart is brazing and do some small jump.Avoid using first your Power smart before out your car.

Yes on flat surfaces. There is no braking system so hills would be a problem. It basically has roller blade wheels so as long as the surface is concrete or asphalt outside would be fine. Large cracks in the concrete and rocks could pose a small problem.

It's a well made unit but seems more designed for smooth, flat or even sloped surfaces. You may want to look for something with larger diameter wheels and a larger footprint to provide more stability. You might also consider no wheels at all, just a fixed walker when outside. It'll depend a great deal on how rough the terrain is where you plan to travel.

I live in South Florida so not a lot of hills, I have used it to pedal up bridges and it works, personally I don't like gears so that would be up tp you, a great urban bike, hope this helps

Barbara, this model works well on level ground only and is perfect for inside a factory. The Stand N Ride will not climb the slightest hill / grade. I bought a standing EVRider for outdoor use. see www.evrider.com

That could be a good idea. The electric motor or gas engine on the front wheel will add weigh to the wheel and produce more grip which will be so good when climbing a hill.

I have ridden it on dirt paths and it worked fine. The tires are clearly street tires but they work.

yes, the track drive system works great on a sloped, icy driveway. I've never seen a better blower for icy/sloped conditions.

No, it as a rear chute and the reality is that it is best used as a mulch-er. I was surprised it only had the back chute, but it really cuts grass quite well. The self propelled part is neat as well. First time I have had one of those.

It is easy to roll, heavy to lift and with the narrow wheel base will tip easy on a side hill. Straight up and down a hill would not be a problem. It is heavy to lift into a pickup or other carrier.

Yes, it drives great on grass! That's the majority of where my 2.5 yo son uses it. In our backyard. Even reverse is strong on grass!

It takes small hills very well, large hills are not what this scooter is made for.I am 205lbs. and it pulls me all over with out a problem, very good scooter for the money.

My yard is a bit flatter but has some bumpy uneven spots. It works ok. The only problem you'll have with this mower is hitting weeds, the mower DOES NOT DO weeds. Blades are very sharp though and I was surprised at performance to cut the yard...hope that helps;)

It can go up slight hills but the battery needs to be fully charged to do so. It is most ideal on sidewalks.

I wouldn't say rough terrain, but does fine on gravel driveway and low cut grass

No, you don't have to be going down hill for it to go. It works by a simple right - left motion of the feet. It doesn't work up hill if the hill is too steep. My son rides it in about 4 different parks near our house. We don't use it in parks with steep hills because even though it's quite light I don't want to have to carry it up the hill. it works best on even and semi even smooth terrains. My son loves it.
