The MOWIT PRO is the perfect solution for environmentally friendly mowing of noise-sensitive sites such as public parks, golf courses, schools and hospitals.

Key advantages of the all-electric MOWIT PRO include:

  • Zero emissions
  • Extremely low hand-arm vibrations
  • Quiet operation with no noise pollution
  • Reduced running costs—no fuel, oil, or filters required
  • Minimal maintenance

The MOWIT PRO line-up is available with 2 cutting deck options – 120cm rear discharge and 132cm mulching deck which allows for easy transportation in a wide range of vehicles and redefines how professionals and municipalities can manage extensive green spaces.

The announcement follows the MOWIT PRO’s successful UK debut at GroundsFest, where it drew strong interest from grounds management professionals, municipalities, and landscaping contractors for its innovative design and operational flexibility.

The SABO MOWIT PRO is engineered for versatility and operators can choose direct remote control for precision tasks, let the mower handle repetitive routes semi-autonomously, or deploy it fully autonomously (upcoming release) for maximum productivity and minimal management. This flexibility ensures safe, efficient, and tailored mowing solutions across parks, sports fields, campuses, and other large-scale landscapes.

Key Features of the SABO MOWIT PRO:

  • Advanced control and navigation: The remote control with a range of up to 250m and GPS drive enables precise and effortless manoeuvring and makes it easier to navigate large areas with minimal operator intervention.
  • Convenient battery system: The replaceable Li-ion batteries allow for extended use and easy replacement, allowing the mower to be operated for longer periods without downtime.
  • Unique steering mechanism: The patent-pending steering via the front wheels improves manoeuvrability and control, making it easier and more precise to navigate through tight spaces and varying terrain.
  • Versatile cutting deck: The pivoting and tilting cutting deck/unit allows for efficient mowing and easy maintenance. The ability to tilt the cutting deck vertically makes cleaning and blade changing simple.
  • Robust performance: Powered by two brushless motors with a total output of 2 x 2.5 kW, the mower reaches speeds of up to 8 km/h, ensuring an efficient and fast high productivity.
  • Durability and protection: With an IP protection rating of 52, the mower is dust and water resistant, making it suitable for a variety of environmental conditions.
  • Device-independent web app: The web app provides easy access to all autonomous and mapping functions and is device-independent (Apple, Android, PC, etc.), allowing users to control and monitor the machine from any device.

“The SABO MOWIT PRO model line-up really is the future in large area landscaping,” says Lars Daniel, Managing Director at SABO. “By combining sustainability with smart automation, we’re giving groundskeepers and professionals the tools to work more efficiently, and safely, with a significantly reduced environmental footprint.”

The MOWIT PRO is the latest innovation in SABO’s mission to deliver intelligent, eco-friendly solutions for modern landscaping challenges. It reflects the company’s commitment to sustainability, performance, and operator safety.

The SABO MOWIT PRO is exclusively available in the UK through leading specialist distributor PSD Groundscare and their nationwide network of authorised dealers.

Stuart Mercer, PSD Sales Director comments, “The SABO MOWIT PRO really is a game changer for the maintenance of larger green spaces such as public parks, recreational areas and golf courses and the excitement around it at GroundsFest proves the demand is there”.
