Swift & Nimble

Swift: the nimble ride-on mower with interchangeable batteries

The new STIGA Swift is the first battery garden ride-on mower with interchangeable batteries.  Battery power is becoming ever more popular as many look for a greener alternative to fossil fuels for their garden equipment.  And with no trailing power cables, STIGA ePower batteries offer all the power of petrol and are cleaner, quieter and emission free.  

Interchangeable batteries – providing convenience and energy efficiency 

The STIGA Swift is equipped with a combined 25Ah battery pack comprising four 48V batteries (2 x 5Ah + 2 x 7.5Ah), which make for more productive working times and are ideal for use on complex lawns. The batteries work synchronously, and constantly balance the available power: Onboard charging provides new power to one battery after the other, so that the first one is ready for use again after just 30 minutes. Another superb feature is the system compatibility of the high-performance power units. 

Running reliably and efficiently on only three batteries, users will benefit from the flexibility of these batteries and can always count on full ePower.  They can also be used in a wide variety of STIGA handheld products, facilitating multiple complex tasks like cleaning up pavements with a leaf blower, or even trimming hedges with a hedge trimmer.

Short turning radius, smart mowing mode, and a positive environmental impact

The Swift is the optimal solution for mowing any garden, featuring a width of just 73.5cm, it masters even the “narrowest” of spaces. It also has an extremely low minimum outer turning radius of 1.62m, offering the greatest possible manoeuvrability, which allows it to mow cleanly and precisely even in areas with many obstacles. Cutting-edge mowing technology and smart mowing modes optimise Swift’s operation. For example, three mowing options are available according to demand and energy consumption: While the standard mode provides a blade speed of 3,500rpm, the boost mode with 3,700rpm masters even dense, tall lawns with ease. Finally, the eco mode (3,200rpm) saves users up to 40% energy, covering an area of around 2,800sqm, highlighting its environmentally friendly qualities.

Comfortable and safe to handle

The Swift’s has super comfortable handling: Offering low-vibration, ergonomic features, and a reduced noise level, which guarantee pleasant and quiet operation. Whilst 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. On the other hand, the tractor gently 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. 

With a low centre of gravity of 35.1cm, the Swift brings manageability and safety to every cut. The new dual-bladed mowing deck is designed for more efficient airflow inside the tunnel and at the blades, which also improves the collection of the grass cuttings. This is complimented by the cut grass being blown reliably, quickly and without clogging into a 170-litre collector. Swift is also equipped with a special washing attachment, facilitating cleaning, only taking a few seconds after the work is done.

Swift offers extended connectivity through the “STIGA.GO” app – a Bluetooth module that connects the machine’s electronic brain, the STIGA Vehicle Management System, to a smartphone – users can visualise real-time data, keeping track of the current battery status and adjust the settings to suit their personal needs.
