Gasless Outdoor Equipment Marks Jores’ Comeback – Mission Valley family business releases first product with new company

Following recent price hikes and rumors of $5 per gallon rates by summer, gas is becoming even less popular than before.

That’s what has spurred Lincoln Jore and a team of engineers to devote almost a decade to developing an alternative to gas power, specifically in the outdoor equipment industry.

Two weeks ago, CORE Outdoor Power http://coreoutdoorpower.com/ , a manufacturing company based in Polson, launched its first platform — a line trimmer, commonly called a weed trimmer, that runs on electricity and a lithium power cell inside a high torque rotary motor. The product began shipping nationwide last week. A blower and hedge trimmer are on the way this summer and a lawnmower is scheduled to hit the market in 2013.
