The most powerful and fastest recharging battery powered range of garden products in the world were launched at Glee under the EGO brand.

The company say they go head-to-head with petrol models for performance. With a promise that they are as powerful as petrol equivalents but without the noise, fuss or fumes, EGO  unveiled its 56-volt lithium-ion battery powered lawnmower, hedge cutter, line trimmer, chain saw and blower, taking cordless technology to a higher level.

In less than six months, sales in the United States have established EGO as one of the fastest selling cordless garden product brands in the country and now the 56-volt lithium ion powered range will be available to UK users. EGO is ideal for all UK garden conditions, regardless of size, location and weather.

The 4.0Ah battery, when used with the lawnmower, has an average operating time of 45 minutes, enough time to cover 800m2, and is fully recharged from empty in just 30 minutes. With two batteries – one in use and the other on charge – EGO offers limitless and effortless gardening. The same battery and charger powers all the products across the entire EGO range.

Running costs are approximately one tenth of that for petrol powered equivalents which,allied to reduced noise, vibration and an absence of operating emissions, is a compelling environmental argument in favour of EGO.

“We describe EGO as ‘Power Beyond Belief’ and it really does have to be experienced to fully appreciate what we are saying,” says EGO Europe’s ,arketing director, Steve Roskell.  “This is a direct challenge to petrol, electric and existing cordless garden products.  We have re written the powered garden products rule book.

“It is the first ever range of cordless outdoor powered equipment capable of matching or surpassing the performance of petrol powered machines without any of the noise, fuss or fumes.  EGO products are powerful, quiet and easy to use,” he adds.

The lawnmower is sold complete with battery and charger whilst the other products in the range are sold without them (although they can be purchased separately) which means really attractive retail prices.

EGO dealers will be offered full technical training in addition to full support.
