Greenworks’ MaximusZ electric riding mower has five motors and a few compromises

Key Facts
- Fact 1: But this is the first time I’ve ever driven a five-motor EV, one with the agility and speed to turn a 360 even more smoothly than an electric G-Wagon.
- Fact 2: The other three turn a trio of blades that cut a 54-inch-wide swath in a single pass.
- Fact 3: For $8,799, it had better be.
- Fact 4: Opening a manufacturing facility in Tennessee in 2023 certainly helped elevate its domestic cred.

But this is the first time I’ve ever driven a five-motor EV, one with the agility and speed to turn a 360 even more smoothly than an electric G-Wagon. It also makes quick work of terrible turf. This is, of course, a lawn mower, and it only uses two of those motors to drive the wheels.
