Greenworks has expanded its electric landscaping equipment lineup with the release of the MaximusZ, a riding mower that distinguishes itself through a unique five-motor architecture. According to the manufacturer, the mower uses two motors to drive the wheels, providing the maneuverability required for tight turns, while the remaining three motors are dedicated to powering the cutting blades.

The mower features a 54-inch cutting deck, designed to handle challenging terrain and thick grass. While the mower is marketed as a high-performance electric alternative to traditional gas-powered models, the design necessitates certain trade-offs common in early-stage electric heavy equipment. The Verge notes that while the mower offers significant agility—comparing its turning capability to high-end electric vehicles—the complexity of the five-motor system introduces new variables regarding maintenance and battery efficiency that users should consider compared to simpler, single-motor electric alternatives.
