• Groundbreaking weed management solution made available to the professional landscaping market. Ideal for sidewalks, paths, parking lots, cemeteries or shopping areas.

• CE-certified; efficient and sustainable; ease of use and transport.

Zasso, the world’s leader in electric weeding solutions, announces the commercial launch of the world’s first battery-powered walk-in electric weeding device. The solution offers a unique combination of efficiency, safety, sustainability and ease of use.

The device will first be made available by Zasso’s exclusive distribution partner in the Benelux, Wimmersson BV. Wimmersson will market the device as the eWeeding^® Roller, powered by Zasso. For the last year, Wimmersson’s team has intensely field tested the device with partners. The eWeeding^® Roller will be launched officially on June 6th at Fort Gagel in Utrecht, Netherlands, and on June 11th at Oostdorp 42, Anzegem-Tiegem in Belgium.

Traditional weed management methods in public spaces often lack systemic effect, require numerous treatments, or have a high impact on our environment. The eWeeding^® Roller is the first effective method without these limitations, making it ideal for reducing weeds on pavements such as sidewalks, paths, parking lots, cemeteries or shopping areas.

The eWeeding^® Roller has no CO₂ emissions, leaves no residues in the environment, and preserves soil biodiversity integrity. It does not affect underground cables, surrounding infrastructure, or third-party properties. In addition, from a users’ perspective, the eWeeding^® Roller is easy to operate thanks to its compact design, making it easy to manoeuvre, transport, and store. It is equipped with a side-shift function, allowing weed treatment right up to the curb, wall, or obstacle. 

The solution uses core technologies from Zasso, including advanced power electronics, proprietary control and safety features, that enable the optimized delivery of a controlled electrical current through the stem and roots of the targeted weeds. 

"We are profoundly proud and excited to present the European launch of our walk-in device.  Our team has spent years miniaturizing the solution without compromising on safety and ease of use,″ said Benjamin Ergas, co-CEO of Zasso. ″We feel excited, and in good hands, with Wimmersson BV’s market entry with the eWeeding Roller, in the Benelux market.″
