Ride-on Edge: How Raccoon 2 SE Creates Clean Lawn Borders Without Extra Trimming

Nathan L. - 2025/12/23

One of the most common frustrations with robotic lawn mowers is edge cutting. Many models leave thin strips of uncut grass along fences, paths, and lawn borders, meaning you still need to grab a trimmer after mowing.

The Raccoon 2 SE solves this problem with its Ride-on Edge feature, designed to deliver a clean, finished lawn edge automatically, without extra effort.

What Is Ride-on Edge

Ride-on Edge is an advanced edge-mowing function that allows the Raccoon 2 SE to follow lawn boundaries with precision. Using its AI vision system, the mower recognizes flat, level borders and drives along them accurately, trimming grass right up to the edge. It’s like cut-to-edge but even better, because it gets closer to the edge.

The result is a tidy, well-defined lawn border, without the need for manual trimming or repeated touch-ups.

How Ride-on Edge Works

The Raccoon 2 SE combines AI vision, smart navigation, and stable wheel control to achieve precise edge mowing:

•       AI Vision & Navigation

The built-in AI camera and sensors identify lawn edges during mapping and mowing, allowing the mower to track borders accurately.

•       Precision Edge Following

When encountering flat boundaries, such as paving stones, concrete paths, or garden edging that sits level with the grass, the mower drives along the edge to minimize uncut areas.

•       Customizable Edge Distance

Users can adjust how close the mower gets to the edge, typically within a 5cm-15cm range, depending on lawn conditions and personal preference.

•       Wire-Free Operation

Ride-on Edge works seamlessly within the Raccoon 2 SE’s wire-free system, keeping setup simple and flexible.

Edge Mowing Performance in Real Use

In real-world lawns, Ride-on Edge significantly reduces the need for follow-up trimming. By closely tracking lawn borders, the mower creates a cleaner finish around paths, patios, and garden edges, areas where traditional robotic mowers often struggle.

This means:

•       Fewer missed strips

•       Less manual trimming

•       A more professional-looking lawn, every time

Key Benefits of Ride-on Edge

•       Saves Time

Reduces or eliminates manual edge trimming, freeing up your weekends.

•       Cleaner Lawn Borders

Delivers sharp, neat edges for a polished, well-maintained appearance.

•       Smart & Safe

While edging, the mower continues to detect obstacles, pets, and people, stopping instantly when needed.

Designed for Simple, Stress-Free Lawn Care

Ride-on Edge reflects the core philosophy of the Raccoon 2 SE: smart features that solve real problems without adding complexity. Instead of spending extra time cleaning up after mowing, you can trust the mower to handle edges properly from the start.
