EGO builds on Z6 success with the expansion of its Zero-Turn range
ollowing the global success
F of the world ’ s first batterypowered zero-turn ride-on mower , EGO Power Plus is expanding its range with the introduction of two new ride-on mowers .
Ideal for homeowners with large plots of land , both mowers – the ZT4200E-S and the ZT5200E-L – build upon the accomplishments of the original Z6 ( ZT4201E-L ). Standout features including EGO ’ s Peak Power™ technology , intuitive screen , and three versatile driving modes remain on the new models whilst fresh features have also been introduced .
One of the new models – the ZT4200E-S – drives like a car and turns like a zeroturn ride-on mower with its innovative steering wheel system whilst the other – the ZT5200E-L – offers a considerably larger three-blade option with a 312cm fabricated cutting deck .
Vince Brauns , Group Product Manager at EGO , said : “ We are so delighted with the success of our first zero-turn ride-on mower that we are now introducing two more to the range . While the two mowers share many of the same features as the first Z6 , including the option of three driving modes and versatile blade speeds , we wanted to ensure that the range was more accessible to a wider demographic of homeowners .
“ By introducing a steering wheel model , we are opening up the zero-turn ride-on platform to users who would prefer that mechanism to a lap bar . As well as performance and accessibility we have also added some useful usability features such as putting the battery level gauge in a better line of sight and improved comfort through an air-ride seat , USB connection , and cruise control for those who need to dedicate a good few hours tending to their lawn .”
Primarily a side discharge mower , the ZT4200E-S can also mulch and collect with the aid of additional kits . It also features four blade speeds and three driving modes for fast cutting efficiency , whilst maintaining a run time of up to 2.5 acres on a single charge . As with all other EGO ride-on mowers , it is compatible with all EGO batteries and uses Peak Power™ technology – the equivalent of a 22hp petrol engine .
