Greenworks Commercial unveils full Optimus lineup

With over 85 pieces of new, commercial-grade equipment to show off — Greenworks Commercial hosted Lawn & Landscape earlier this month in Morristown, Tennessee, for an exclusive media event.

The 2025 Optimus models offer battery-operated products in just about every category: ride-on mowers including zero-turn; walk-behind mowers; handheld tools including trimmers, edgers, hedge trimmers, chainsaws and blowers; charging solutions; and the new CORE Battery Collection.

“I’m so happy with every single product,” says CEO Yin Chen. “The most exciting part is we have a full complete solution.”

"Landscaping is not a shiny, Wall Street business,” Chen adds. “Operating costs are so crucial. So we wanted to know how we could give them a solution that’s affordable and makes financial sense for them…We have it all depending on your budget and your circumstance.”

The Optimus lineup

The more than 85 commercial-grade products and accessories in the Greenworks Optimus portfolio include zero-turn radius mowers, charging solutions and a wide range of 82-volt tools like hedge trimmers, string trimmers, edgers, blowers and self-propelled, all-terrain mowers. Greenworks Optimus products are Certified Commercial for dealer training, service and support.

Chen says the environmental benefits of the new Optimus equipment are equally as important as its power and cost savings.

“It’s about sustainability,” Chen says. “This is all as efficient as possible. Though sustainability is only a byproduct. Because we have to win first. We have to convince the landscaper to go from gas to battery. Not because they’re forced to but because it’s in their interest to do so.”

The Greenworks OptimusZ Zero Turn Mower Platform earned an AGZA Field Tested Certification (AFTC) designation from the American Green Zone Alliance for its line of battery-powered riding and stand-on mowers. The certification recognizes manufacturers and equipment that are capable of commercial work, and which can sufficiently replace gas machines.

Some highlighted models include:

The OptimusZ 9-Series Ride On Zero-Turn Mower

Can provide all-day cutting for up to eight hours and up to 21 acres of mowing on a single charge.

Users save on maintenance time and money since the OptimusZ has no belts, no spindles, no oil, or filters, making it a maintenance-free zero-turn mower for up to 2,000 hours.

The Optimus 82V 22” Self-Propelled All-Terrain Mower

The design enables one-handed operation, yet it offers the power of a 230cc gas-equivalent mower with much lower noise and no toxic fumes.

Powered by two 8ah batteries (included), it can cut up to 1.5 acres with a maximum runtime of 95 minutes.

The Optimus 82V 755 CFM Dual-Port Backpack Blower

Has a maximum blow force of 36 newtons and weighing just 26.3 pounds including two CORE530 batteries.

This blower can operate at a quiet 65 decibels, ensuring compliance with noise regulations. Its three-speed functionality includes low, medium and high with a built-in turbo setting.

When fully charged and run on low speed, the maximum runtime will be more than one hour.

Optimus EnergyCube

An onboard charging solution that keeps all equipment running throughout the day. It can simultaneously charge Optimus Zero-Turn mowers and handheld batteries either at the shop or on a trailer.

Additional new charging solutions include the ChargeLink In-Shop Charger, which can power up to 60 batteries of any amp-hour from a single outlet overnight.

More about the Greenworks Optimus lineup

In terms of handheld equipment, Chen says the Optimus product line is ideal as it all takes the same battery — and those batteries can even be charged on the Greenworks mowers while they are in use.

“We have about 30 skews taking the same battery and that number is quickly increasing,” he says.

And the innovations aren’t stopping with the Optimus line. Chen says in 2026 the industry can expect even more battery-powered products.

“Next year’s UTV will be so cool,” he says. “I’m so excited to share it with everybody… the other area we’re focusing on is robotics. So, we’re doing a lot with robotics. It’s just the start of a big portfolio.”
