Technology
STIGA ePower
Smart, safety tested and synched with STIGA products, ePower is the next generation in batteries. Tests we run on ePower batteries are 5 times tougher than Industry standard requirements, to ensure the highest quality standards in terms of performance, reliability and battery health through time. Our batteries are efficient, as we optimised and secured the position of each individual cell; safe, as we created space to allow air to cool; and smart, as we we developed and tested the electronics and software that controls the cells.

STIGA Smart cutting mode
All STIGA electric tractor mowers, Swift and Gyro are equipped with the STIGA Smart cutting mode function. While mowing, you can adjust the blade speed on 3 different settings, depending on the result you wish to see and on the conditions of the grass you are taking care of. Availabe speeds are Standard, Boost and Eco-Mode (which helps improving energy-efficiency). You can choose the blade speed directly from the dashboard, by simply pushing a button. A green LED-indicator will let you know at which speed you are cutting - you can change it anytime you want, while mowing.
STIGA Smart recharge schedule
When plugging your STIGA electric tractor mower in the garage or in your garden shed, you might prefer a certain timing for recharge, in order to save money on energy supply: open the STIGA.GO App on your smartphone and choose the Smart recharge schedule function so you can easily schedule a time slot for your tractor to recharge. It will only recharge in the given timeframe.
STIGA.GO app with virtual dashboard
Use your smartphone as a dashboard while driving, thanks to the STIGA.GO App! By installing the phone on the steering wheel throught the holder, you can always see real-time information about the working session: speed, battery charge left, but also a feedback from the tractor mower on cutting efficiency, so you can adjust either speed or cutting height and achieve the best cutting results.

What is the proper way to clean the lawn mower tractor after mowing the grass?
The exterior of the riding tractormust be cleaned with water and detergent, paying attention not to get water in the electrical system, motor and circuit board located under the instrument panel. The collection bag should be emptied and cleaned of residue, then remounted so the cutting assembly can be washed, and then removed, rinsed and allowed to dry. When washing the cutting device assembly and the expulsion chute, the collection bag or rear discharge shield must be fitted, the operator must be seated, the cutting device assembly must be in position “1”. Then connect a water hose to the appropriate pipe fittings and allow the water to flow for a few minutes while keeping the cutting devices in motion.
