and contractors to using either petrol or generator driven
electrical gardening equipment. All that has changed with the
launch of the new 56 volt lithium ion powered cordless range
from EGO Power+.
The lithium ion battery technology powering the range is the
result of many years of work. The cells in the three different sized
batteries are configured in a patented arc to help keep them cool
in operation and charging. They are also surrounded by a phase-

head-on with petrol but without the fuel, noise, fuss or fumes.
EGO drives cordless technology, flexibility and power up to a
totally new level.
With a recharge time from flat of just 30 minutes, the 4.0Ah
battery will provide up to 45 minutes of mowing. The EGO
cordless lawnmower and accompanying hedge cutter, line
trimmers, chain saw and blower meet the critical and exhaustive
demands of the landscape sector in terms of performance and
durability.
On a single charge the lawnmower has sufficient power to cut
up to 800m2 of lawn with no fuss or emissions and with virtually
no vibration or noise. With two batteries, one in use the other
on charge, there is limitless power. The cost of recharging the
4.0Ah battery is around the 5pence mark making it considerably
cheaper than petrol equivalents. The environmental and financial
benefits of EGO are compelling.
“We describe EGO as having ‘Power Beyond Belief’ and it really
does have to be experienced to fully appreciate what we are
claiming,” says EGO’s marketing director, Steve Roskell. “This is a
Since its launch in the United States at the beginning of the 2014
season, EGO has become one of the top selling cordless brands in
North America.
The lawnmower is a three-in-one machine offering users the
choice of rear collect, side discharge or mulching. It is sold
complete with a 4.0Ah battery and fast charger and retails at £499
inc. VAT (€699). The other products in the range are sold without
the battery or charger, all of which are fully interchangeable and
can be bought separately.
“Landscape designers and contractors are a key target market
for us,” says Steve. “Our research has shown that many operators
are reluctant to make the switch to cordless because of poor
performance and extended recharge time. All that is now history
as EGO has totally re-written the power garden products rule
book and set new standards that others will have to follow.”
The range is available nationwide through Henton and Chattell’s
dealer network.
