It all begins with an idea.

Every great project starts with a problem.
Ours was a lawn mower that wouldn’t start and a snow blower that reeked of gas.

Then we learned the truth:
Running a gas mower for just one hour can create as much pollution as driving a car for hundreds of miles.

We looked at our perfectly good equipment and asked ourselves:
Why throw it away just because of a faulty, polluting engine?

As engineers and environmental advocates, we knew there had to be a better way.
So we created Prevoton—simple, robust conversion kits that replace the engine you hate with the clean, instant, push-button power you’ll love.

It’s about less waste, less noise, and a healthier planet—right from your own garage.

Why Gas Engines Fail You

Gas-powered machines don’t usually die because the metal parts wear out.
They fail because of one fragile, outdated component: the carburetor.

A carburetor’s only job is to mix gasoline with air in perfect balance. But it depends on tiny, precision-drilled passages that can clog from:

  • Dirt or rust flakes

  • Gummy fuel residue

  • Ethanol in modern gas, which attracts water, corrodes parts, and leaves sticky deposits

The result?

  • Engines that won’t start

  • Surging power

  • Machines that only run with the choke halfway on

Repairing it means hours of work or $100–$500 in shop fees—often just for it to happen again next season.

The Prevoton Solution

By converting to electric, you eliminate the carburetor entirely.

No more:

  • Stale fuel problems

  • Fuel stabilizers

  • “Will it start?” anxiety each season

  • Messy, expensive repairs

Just clean, reliable power—every time you press the button.
