Narrative:

I completed a preflight inspection; before starting engine; starting engine with battery; before takeoff; and normal takeoff procedures using the cessna checklist. I was cleared for takeoff on the runway at ZZZ. I executed a normal takeoff and at approximately 20 ft AGL the engine suffered a drastic; uncommanded power reduction. I landed straight ahead on the runway and exited onto a taxiway. I notified the tower that I had aborted the takeoff and would be returning to the ramp. The engine continuously ran throughout this event and I taxied to the maintenance facility under engine power for inspection.
