U500

Greenworks Commercial’s U800 already sits in this catalog as the brand’s full-size electric work rig; the U500 is its compact sibling, built for the same buyer, campuses, resorts, municipalities, and grounds crews, with a smaller battery and a smaller price. The 82V system runs an 8 kWh pack that Greenworks rates as comparable to a 22 hp gas engine, good for up to 40 miles per charge and a 27 mph top speed, recharging in about 7 hours.

The work case is institutional rather than recreational. Zero emissions make it legitimately usable indoors, warehouses, arenas, barns, where gas UTVs cannot go, and the near-silent direct-drive 4WD lets early-morning crews work around guests and students without noise complaints. Pro Tool Reviews’ coverage of the Greenworks UTV line highlights exactly that fleet logic, along with build quality that aims at commercial duty cycles rather than weekend trail abuse. Ten inches of ground clearance, independent front suspension, and a 72.5-inch wheelbase keep it composed on turf and gravel.

Capacities are where the compact footprint shows. The spring-assisted dump bed carries 330 lbs and the rear hitch tows 1,250 lbs, fine for tools, mulch, and irrigation parts, but light next to the U800’s numbers and roughly half what consumer-priced rivals haul. That comparison is the U500’s real challenge: at $22,499.99, it costs $5,500 more than a HISUN Stryker EV that brings twice the battery, more speed, and more towing. The difference buys Greenworks’ commercial dealer support, parts ecosystem, and procurement-friendly positioning, value that matters to a facilities manager standardizing a fleet and very little to a private landowner.

Buying is dealer-channel: the Greenworks Commercial site lists the price but routes purchases through its dealer network, so expect a quote-and-order process with freight rather than e-commerce checkout. For organizations already running Greenworks 82V mowers and tools, the U500 slots into existing charging infrastructure and service relationships, which is precisely the point. For everyone else, it is a well-built machine that the consumer value brands undercut hard, read the Stryker EV and Kandi Innovator entries in this catalog before committing.
