Ride-on with interchangeable batteries
Ride-on with interchangeable batteries: STIGA commits to balance product competitiveness and effective resource utilization and introduces STIGA Swift, its newest ride-on mower which meets the high demands of environmentally friendly and resource-conserving work ensuring maximum performance and the greatest possible flexibility.
As one of the leading manufacturers of ride-on mowers, STIGA sets brand new standards in ePower with its Swift. STIGA’s innovation comes in the form of the world’s first ride-on mower with interchangeable batteries. STIGA is now the first manufacturer to feature interchangeable batteries and a full range of motorised garden tools, from handhelds to walk-behinds and ride-ons, to suit all user needs, garden architectures and price ranges.
Ride-on with interchangeable batteries
Swift batteries are compatible with STIGA handheld equipment
The STIGA Swift is equipped with a combined 25 Ah battery pack comprising four 48V batteries (2 x 5 Ah + 2 x 7.5 Ah), included in standard delivery. Innovative interchangeable batteries make for virtually limitless riding time, rendering the Swift ideally suited for use on expansive, demanding lawns. The batteries work synchronously and constantly balance the available energy: Onboard charging supplies new energy to one battery after the other, so that the first one is ready for use again after just 30 minutes. A further innovative feature is the system compatibility of the high-performance power units:
The interchangeable batteries can be used seamlessly in a wide variety of STIGA range handheld equipment. Mowing the lawn and cleaning up pavements at the same time with a leaf blower or trimming back hedges with a multitool? No problem! The Swift runs reliably and efficiently even on only three batteries. Users will benefit from the flexibility of these batteries and can always count on full e-Power.
Short turning radius, smart mowing mode
The Swift is the optimal solution for mowing complex gardens. Why? Featuring a width of just 735 mm, it has proved to master even the “narrowest” of challenges. It also has an extremely low minimum outer turning radius of 1,620 mm, offering the greatest possible manoeuvrability, which is why it works cleanly and precisely even in areas with many obstacles. Cutting edge mowing technology and smart mowing modes optimise Swift operation. Three mowing options are available in total according to demand and energy consumption: While the standard mode provides a performance of 3,500 rpm, the boost mode with 3,700 rpm masters even dense, tall lawns with ease. Eco mode (3,200 rpm) saves users up to 40% energy, covering an area of around 2,800 sqm.
Comfortable and safe handling
Equally convincing is the comfortable handling: Low-vibration, ergonomic features and a reduced noise level guarantee pleasant and quiet operation. While the steering wheel can be turned easily with just one finger, the one-button start, cruise control and STIGA One Pedal Drive ensure intuitive start-up and driving. The tractor stops automatically when the drive pedal is released. The parking brake also activates automatically as soon as the machine comes to a stop, with no need for manual intervention. Using the extended connectivity with the STIGA.GO app and the virtual dashboard, users can always keep track of the current battery status and also adjust the various settings to suit their personal needs. With a low center of gravity of 351 mm, the Swift brings manageability and safety to every cut. The new dual-blade mowing deck is designed for more efficient airflow inside the tunnel and at the blades, which also improves the collection of clippings. The shredded grass is fed reliably, quickly and without clogging into the 170 l catcher bag. With the special washing attachment, cleaning only takes a few seconds after the work is done.
