Stiga Gyro 500e Battery axial mower

STIGA Gyro is the first ever drive-by-wire joystick mower with STIGA Direct Drive technology. Battery-powered, energy-efficient and safe. The STIGA drive-by-wire system is really intuitive and easy to manage. The whole design and functioning of the STIGA Gyro axial mower is built on the patented STIGA Direct Drive technology. STIGA Gyro 500e is the smallest model in the family, featuring a 98 cm cutting deck (mulching as optional) and a 40Ah battery pack. Up to 80 minutes runtime and 5000 sqm working area (on one charge).

The unique joystick technology by STIGA gives you maximum control over direction, steering and speed – and a 360º turning radius makes cutting around trees, shrubbery, flower beds and garden ornaments effortless; like a zero-turn mower, but bettered.

Control both blade rotation and traction speed for a fully customisable cut, perfectly suited to the shape, size and condition of your lawn. The STIGA Vehicle Management System communicates automatically with the machine’s traction controllers, independently managing Direct Drive motors in each rear wheel to deliver an instant response, maximum safety and precise trajectory as you mow.

Move the deck to eight cutting positions using the lightweight central lever. Then with STIGA’s Smart Cutting Mode, choose from three blade speed settings: Eco (2.800 rpm) for very frequent mowing of soft grass or if you choose to mulch the grass; Standard (3.000 rpm) for usual, weekly sessions and cuts up to 2.5 cm; and Boost (3.200 rpm) for quicker cuts or thick, taller grass.

Gyro allows you to combine the cutting and driving speed to suit the kind of work to be done on your lawn. You can choose between Standard for your usual cutting sessions; and Performance at 11 km/h for the fastest results. For each of the speeds, Gyro will automatically limit minimum and maximum speeds and apply different acceleration curves – this way, you will always feel in control, regardless of whatever speed you choose.

Thanks to a very well-studied weight distribution and a very low centre of gravity (just 55.3 cm), Gyro gives optimum stability – both for pitch and roll – also on slopes up to 15°. Following STIGA’s tradition of testing beyond industry standards, Gyro is tested to ensure a greater safety margin (up to 32°) in comparison to the suggested use of the machine. Plus, the electronics of the machine automatically manage speed limitations when on slopes, further enhancing its safety.

With its integrated ePower battery pack and 98cm-wide side-discharge cutting deck, the Gyro 500e can mow up to 5,000 square metres on one charge – with minimum noise and vibrations. Use the included fast charger to fully recharge the battery pack in just two hours and 45 minutes.

Step in and out easily – the wide footboard gives plenty of legroom. Have complete visibility over each working area. Enjoy the feeling of fitting in the machine, not just perching on it. And drive comfortably thanks to the seat with high back support, and dual parallel suspension system absorbing vibrations across bumpy ground. Controls are all at reach and can be managed with just one of your finger tips.

A 5-year manufacturer’s warranty is included with this machine (T&C’s apply).

STIGA patented Direct Drive technology

The whole design and functionality of the STIGA Gyro axial mower is built on the unique STIGA Direct Drive technology. Dual independent electric transmissions, one for each wheel, positioned in line and equipping powerful brushless electric motors with planetary gearbox, meaning: highest reduction ratio, therefore the highest efficiency. Up to 360° turning radius for full manoeuvrability.

STIGA drive-by-wire joystick

Intuitive and easy to manage, especially for those who are used to a lever-operated machine. The whole driving system is extremely reactive and allows to govern the machine’s direction, steering and speed in one. The constant communication between the joystick and the machine’s electronic brain (STIGA Vehicle management system) makes driving smooth, easy and safe.

You are in control

Choose from one of three STIGA Smart cutting modes and between two Smart driving modes, including Performance at a top speed of 11 km/h; you decide how to work, depending on your needs and the cut to be done.

Designed for safety & stability

Thanks to a very well-studied weight distribution, Gyro grants optimum stability, both for pitch and roll (also on slopes up to 15°). Plus, the electronics of the machine automatically manage speed limitations when on slopes.
