KEY POINTS
- •The Greenworks MaximusZ lawn mower uses five electric motors, two for driving wheels and three for spinning blades.
- •It cuts a 54-inch wide path smoothly, comparable to the agility of a high-end electric G-Wagon doing 360 turns.
- •Tim Stevens from The Verge noted this mower outperforms many EV cars and handles bad turf easily during a recent test drive.
In a brave new world where lawns tremble at the sound of motors, the 2026 Greenworks MaximusZ arrives packing a ludicrous five electric motors—yes, five. Two insist on driving the wheels with the subtlety of a caffeinated squirrel, while the other three blades spin to cut a majestic 54-inch-wide slice through turf that probably didn’t ask for this level of aggression. Tim Stevens from The Verge, a poor soul already familiar with tri- and quad-motor EVs like the Rimac Nevera, finally faced the apex predator of cordless turf destruction. Spoiler: it’s smoother than an electric G-Wagon doing a 360, and yet somehow quieter than your neighbor’s nagging.
