Zero-Turn Mower with Exchangeable Battery and Rear Discharge – Made for a Whole Day’s Mowing
Installing batteries in a mower is one thing. Achieving the performance, durability, and reliability of a proven professional petrol model is another. Our models with the FusionCore replaceable battery system meet this demand.
The ZENITH E is the first professional electric zero-turn mower with interchangeable batteries, designed to mow large lawns for an entire day. The “R” on the ZENITH E 60R stands for “rear-discharge.” The advantage is that clippings are not thrown onto paths or into flower beds; the mown grass is discharged to the rear, between the wheels. It features an adjustable comfort seat for maximum driving comfort and a professional mower deck with a 152 cm cutting width, equipped with ROPS and a professional warranty as standard.
- The ZENITH E 60R features a 152cm (60″) fabricated, rear discharge deck constructed of strong 10-gauge steel
- Powered by four interchangeable FusionCore lithium-ion 56v DC, 4kWh batteries
- Features patent-pending spindle technology, designed to absorb massive impact
- Achieve five hours of continuous cutting time on one charge (dependent on cutting conditions)
- Charge time of 5.3 – 12 hours (depending on charger)
- Industry-leading frame design provides backbone to support the loads of the machine
- ROPS fitted as standard for added protection to the operator
- Foot-operated, vertical pin selector deck lift system with 15 cutting positions
- High-back full suspension seat
- Range of optional accessories is available

Features & Benefits
FusionCore Li-Ion Battery System
The battery system of the ZENITH E consists of four interchangeable battery packs, each weighing 22.5 kg. The capacity of each individual Fusion Li-ion battery pack is 4 kWh, totaling 16 kWh. The ZENITH E can mow with just two battery packs and drive with just one. With four battery packs, you can mow for a maximum of 5 hours. After that, they can be replaced with full batteries in seconds. The charging time for four battery packs in the optional FUSIONCORE charging station is just 5 hours 20 minutes!
Intelligent Load Balancing
This patent-pending system ensures that the ZENITH E equalizes different battery capacities. It draws energy from fully charged batteries until they reach the same charge level as the batteries with less charge. Power is drawn from the fully charged batteries first, before being drawn evenly from all four batteries, ensuring even power and cutting.
Proprietary Electric Transaxles
Two independently operating, brushless electric motors with extra strong magnets, increased number of windings, and recuperation function when braking. The objective is low heat generation and long service life. Coupling the electric motors with a planetary gearbox with double reduction results in the same smooth, jerk-free ride as a professional zero-turn mower with a petrol engine and hydrostat. Drive the ZENITH E once and compare for yourself!
Professional Mowing Deck
The mowing deck is the most heavily loaded component of a mower, and stability is particularly important here. The ZENITH E has a 14 cm deep, fully welded mowing deck made of 3.2 mm thick sheet steel, 20 mm steel edge, enclosed anti-scalp wheels, and a welded 4-point suspension. The FUSIONCORE electric blade motors deliver a maximum of 3 x 3,500 watts when required. To protect the motor in the event of collisions, the blades are mounted on a slip clutch, significantly reducing hard impacts on the motor. The airflow of the new X-Factor III mower deck with side discharge is optimized for the cleanest cut and lowest noise level.
Fully Adjustable Comfort Seat
Maximizing operator comfort is essential to work productively and safely for hours. Keeping hard shocks and vibrations away from the driver is particularly important for well-being and health. The hydro-pneumatic suspension can be precisely adjusted to the operator’s body weight. Adjustable, padded armrests, high backrest, and lumbar support allow the rider to find their ideal sitting position. In combination with the ZENITH’s standard wheel fork suspension, the result is a soft, comfortable ride.
ROPS
The standard rollover protection system with a safety belt (ROPS) offers additional protection for the driver. It is foldable and ergonomically tilted backward to prevent painful bumping of the elbow while driving.
