Abstract
A zero turn vehicle is disclosed, having an operator platform located adjacent to the rear of the frame. An upright riser is disposed on the frame. The vehicle uses first and second electric drive transmissions to drive the output wheels. An electrical bus or controllers may be mounted on a panel of the upright riser or on the drive transmissions to assist in providing a compact design. A pair of drive levers is mounted on the upright riser for controlling the output of the vehicle.
