An electric hedge trimmer comprises a shell body, a cutting assembly, a driving device and a handle assembly. The driving device is disposed in the shell body and comprises a motor for driving blades to perform longitudinal movement and a transmission device. The handle assembly comprises a main handle arranged at a rear end of the shell body and a front-arranged handle arranged at one end, close to the cutting assembly, of the shell body. The motor drives an upper connecting rod to move an upper blade via an eccentric gear, and drives a lower connecting rod to move a lower blade via the eccentric gear, which is simple and convenient to carry since a battery is used for supplying power. The motor is stable in operation and can be carried out at any time according to the requirements, so as to reduce energy consumption and improve use safety.
