hello everyone josh here from haze got another exciting product video here today for you
we've got the new 21-inch mower from ego it's been in the states for a little while now but
it's the first time it's come over to the uk it's replacing their old 21 inch model and this
is a new fancy upgraded all singing all dancing machine now you can buy this in either kit form
or on its own this is a kit for machine but obviously if you've already got batteries
and chargers and you've got the ego range buy the shell on its own and then utilize those batteries
you've already got to power the product like say this is the kit form one the lm
2135 esp the shell version is the lm2130 but yeah really exciting we've already sold quite
a few already this year they it complements very well the the rest of the range they do
let's crack open the box we'll talk you through the features and benefits of
each bits and pieces we'll charge up the battery and um yeah get it going
okay one charger one 7.5 amp hour battery you see how well it is packaged as well
this range is available to buy on our website haze machinery dot co dot uk
we'll fold that on up like so grassbox is nice and easy to put together
these little tabs here just go over the metal frame of the box
one grassblocks right now she's unboxed we'll go through all the key features and show you what the
real benefits are of each of these a little bit of background information on ego huge in america
and the middle east as well as europe got a huge range of products as well especially on
the garden sector so blowers streamers hedge cutters obviously the mower range as well
they are bringing over a ride-on lawnmower fairly shortly they'll be run on battery power as well so
that'll be exciting to see um and this year as well they're bringing out loads of new products
in one of our recent videos you saw james talking about the ego nexus so you can utilize the ego
batteries for other products as well so anything that takes a three-pin socket or usb port so
laptops chargers that sort of stuff so let's get into this and have a look through all the key bits
and pieces i'll show you the battery and charger all the new updates as well over the previous 21
inch model right so we'll start off with the battery this machine comes with a 7.5 amp hour
now currently in the range you go to a 2.5 uh soon to be a four a five amp hour a seven
point five and a ten amp hour they also do a backpack version for their brush cutters
which you put into harness right so a quick look at the battery ego use what they call an
arc design so it's lithium-ion battery but the cells are in an arc so if you see here they're
arced round this means it can slide into a lot of products a lot of the all the ego products should
i say other than the mowers take an external fitting so if you've got a hedge cutter the
hedge cutter actually slides in and the battery is actually external whereas they're internal on the
mowers you can even put the biggest 10 amp hour battery into this mower as well it also dissipates
heat very easily the big thing with batteries is different environments if it's cold or hot
you always want the battery to keep a very stable temperature it's worth noting the cells in this
battery have got like a luminous sort of coating which is very malleable so if the battery gets hot
this goes very supple and allows the heat out but if it's cold they harden up and act as a
bit of a barrier as a shield so that gives you your sort of extended run time or working time
in different environments also as you can see rubber casing so drop the battery i won't drop
it from a height over here but you know they are very protected and the other thing here
you've got a battery fuel gauge so there's five segments so you can actually keep an
eye on how much charge you've got left in your battery and this also is indicated by chucking
it on the charger as well so the first things first is to slide the battery into the mower
so that's all you do cover comes up you've got a green button here like i said green for go
push that button that allows you to slide the battery out charge it up put it back in
cover down ready to mow this little kitty here this is your safety cut out key so this is to
disable the mower particularly good if you've got grandchildren or kids where it's easy to get
hold of the battery because basically it's not petrol mirror they don't have to hold a handle
and pull the rope all they've got to do is put the battery in and press the button pretty much
so most battery products come with a safety key this one's inserted into there close the hood down
that then allows you to use your mower if this key is out
then it's disabled so you could hide that away on the top shelf or in a drawer anything like that
means you won't be able to use a product so you've got a handy sight glass here which
will tell you the charge indication when you're using the machine so we'll just engage the drive
and as you see it's got about 40 charge in the battery at the moment and that'll give you a good
idea when you're using the machine right it's good range of height of cuts on this machine
anywhere from 25 millimeters on its lowest cut all the way up to 90 millimeters on its
highest cut and there's also seven increments to work with there so it's on this lowest cut
here if you want to move the height up literally it's as simple as that worth noting it's a
single point height adjustment so all four wheels move up and down with that one lever
so we're looking at all these controls and you're thinking what do they do
well i was always told it's always green for go so basically remember that everything that's
green does something so work up through the handles again something else that's green
this is your height of handle adjustment there are three
adjustment positions for the handle so if you're fairly tall obviously you can have
it on high height or fairly you know shorter put it on a short height it's worth noting
when you adjust your height to the cutter deck obviously the handles will go up and
down so if you're on a high cut then if you find the machine too tall on the handles then
you can drop them down as well depending on the height of cut you're on next thing
as you can see the handles are in a folded state if we pull these little tabs out
that allows you to bring the handles up to its full extent very good for storage in a moment i'll
show you how to actually store the machine away in a garage or a small shed or anything like that or
just to space save really so we'll go through that in a second going up to controls up here
you've got your blade engagement so you push down on this button and pull that back
and then you've got your drive handles here if i just put up one speed we'll go forward
slowly there we go this also adjusts your speed so if i lift it off the ground a second and drive
you can actually adjust
your drive speed the other thing i'll just show you while we're here which is new for the 2021
model is the led lights on the front of the mower which is very good especially you know depending
on what time of year you're working in if the knights are drawing in you've got the lights on
the front if it's getting a bit dimpsy it just gives you a bit better visibility the other
thing as well if you've got a shed and it's at the bottom of the garden pressure lights on if you're
going down there it's dark it will illuminate up your shed be able to find what you're looking
for then um but yeah that's just simply turn on and turn off from there like i said that's a new
update for 2021. the other update on this machine is the styling including a front carry handle
just here so you can carry the machine really really easy when you fold the handles down like
i said this one comes with a 7.5 amp battery and fast charger the rest of the range below this come
with the 5 amp hour or 2.5 so this is the one with the biggest battery should we say so it will run
the longest you'll get about 1200 square meters on one charge which well for argument's sake a tennis
court is 260 square meters so you're probably looking at four or five times a tennis court size
on one charge so we're going to show you how to fold the handles now put the handlebars in their
lowest state get your height adjustment handle and swing that forward now that position there makes
it very easy to take the grass box on and off and then you can basically swing the handle back
and it's ready to ready to mow again so we're going to show you how easy it is to store this
away in your garage or your shed so you just fold the handles down so use this green lever
push that right forward that clicks in take your grass box off
we've got little rubber legs on the back end of the machine so if you literally just upend it
like so you can store that away nice and tidy and space saving so we'll just turn it around
and show you the underside so this machine for 2021 is fitted with two blades you've
got a mulching blade and a collection blade it means it's cutting up the material finer makes
it easier and better for collection if you put a mulch plug um into this machine as well you
don't need to swap any blades over it will do both jobs it will collect and it will mulch
and you've got a high torque 56 volt motor on this machine the other key feature to this machine
is the reinforced polymer deck if you've had steel cutter decks in the past at raw
tau then this machine is never going to rot or rust yeah and longevity wise
yeah it's going to last you years and years and years it also makes it very easy to clean
when it's in its folded position so you can get in here if the grass was damp and
wet and you did need to clean it out then you can obviously brush it out as well and then the other
key feature here is the electric motor so it's worth noting on this machine as well you've got
your motor that drives the blades and you've got a motor that drives the gearboxes a lot of battery
products on the market are still belt driven so a bit like your conventional mower for the drive to
actually work you need to engage the engine itself start the engine up so the blade is spinning this
spins the belt and then spins your gearbox which is all fine and good if you can get your machine
to the lawn area you're cutting but if you've got an awkward area which you physically need to drive
the machine to get there and you don't want the blade to spin then you're going to be cutting up
stones and what have you so with this one here just drive it to the area you're getting to and
then engage the blades separately so ego have got market leading warranties on their products this
particular model comes with five-year domestic warranty on the machine and three are on the
battery if you were to use this commercially two years on the product and two years on the battery
and they also do other ranges of machinery which again are varying warranty periods for commercial
users slash domestic users so the speed range is between 0.6 and 1.4 meters per second and that's
variable speed so you can select any range in between that so this is a battery in charge you
get in the lm 2135 esp kit this is a 7.5 amp hour 56 volts battery and the ch-55 charger which is
their fast charger they do three charges in the range they do the commercial backpack charger and
a standard charger the standard and fast charger will fit any of their standalone batteries so if
you've got smaller batteries the standard charge is more than adequate but if you've got the larger
capacity sort of five 7.5 or 10 amp power then the fast charge is the way forward this battery
here will take about an hour to charge on the fast charger and like i explained this will
give you probably four or five tennis court sides uh worth of mowing capability and they
are powerful you know there's a lot a lot of power behind these machines so we'll um chuck
the charger into the socket so just a standard three pin socket and we'll slide the battery in
you've got 25 50 75 and 100 charge capacity so you can keep an eye on what the battery's doing
so we just slide that in nice and simple you can hear the fan working so what it does because it's
a rapid charger it'll keep the battery cool as well which is really really intelligent
the other thing uh this battery will do as you're probably aware we've all had it with mobile phones
and lithium-ion batteries and products like that after some time they will degenerate so you keep
charging up to 100 it will slowly start losing its full capacity so in a couple years time you might
only have 85 90 battery capacity with the ego what they do is if you don't use the battery for a long
period of time don't be surprised that you come back to it and it's actually lost its charge so
what it does it protects its top end capacity so say you haven't used it for the winter you
come back to use the mower in the spring your battery might be down to 25 30 percent charge
the reason being it's protecting that top end so you give it a top up and it'll be ready to
go and and all being well that battery will then stay at a very high percentage so as you
can see it's then flashing through so it's showing it's 25 charged at the moment so we
would leave that to charge up fully to use a machine you can leave the charger on all night
for as long as you want it's a smart charger so it will shut itself off so you haven't got to worry
about it overheating or anything like that why you go battery you ask biggest thing is is ease of use
you don't have to worry about mixing fuel if you've got a two-stroke machine or storing fuel go
to the petrol station they're quiet low servicing costs as well so it's very little maintenance
annually low vibration that's the other thing no emissions environmentally friendly so there we go
