GOKO M6 – These Turning Wheels Change Everything! | TechManPat

The GOKO M6 is a boundary-wire-free robotic mower designed around four-wheel drive, adaptive suspension and independently steering front wheels. Its vehicle-style turning is intended to reduce the grass damage caused by pivot turns. The mower also combines satellite positioning, RTK correction, camera-based navigation and movement sensors, while offering two cutting systems and app-based lawn management.

The short version

Key points

Independent front-wheel steering allows the M6 to turn without simply pivoting on the grass.
The mower combines satellite positioning, RTK correction, cameras and movement sensors for navigation.
Four-wheel drive, adaptive suspension and claimed slope handling of up to 42 degrees are aimed at challenging terrain.
The 420 mm cutting deck supports replaceable razor blades or an optional rotary mulching blade.
The mower still requires manual edge trimming, and Australian servicing, spare parts availability and long-term reliability remain to be proven over time.

Design and hardware

The GOKO M6 has an angular, futuristic design and weighs approximately 29 kg. Its body, wheels and suspension give it a solid, engineered feel, while its appearance makes it distinctive among robotic mowers.

The mower and charging station are rated IP66 for water and dust resistance, and automatic rain detection is built in. The package includes the mower, charging equipment, an RTK reference station and accessories such as spare blades. Like many current robotic mowers, the M6 does not use a boundary wire.

Navigation and obstacle avoidance

GOKO calls the navigation system Cyber Nav Fusion. It combines satellite positioning, RTK correction data from the reference station, camera-based visual navigation and movement sensors. The RTK station needs a clear view of the sky, while the cameras can help the mower maintain its position when satellite reception becomes temporarily unreliable, such as under trees or near buildings.

The M6 has four cameras in total: a stereo pair at the front and two side cameras. These support navigation and obstacle avoidance. GOKO says the artificial intelligence system can recognise more than 200 types of objects. During testing, the mower avoided toys placed on the lawn, although clearing small objects remains sensible to avoid possible damage.

The turning wheel system

The M6’s main difference is its driving system. It has four-wheel drive, adaptive suspension and independent active steering on both front wheels. Rather than spinning its wheels in opposite directions to pivot at the end of a mowing run, the front wheels turn like those of a conventional vehicle.

This approach is intended to reduce the repeated tearing and scuffing that can occur when a robotic mower pivots in the same area. The suspension allows the wheels to adapt to uneven ground, helping maintain traction and keep the mower more level. GOKO claims the M6 can handle slopes of up to 42 degrees, or a 90 per cent gradient, and obstacles up to approximately 75 mm high, depending on conditions.

Cutting performance and controls

The 420 mm cutting deck uses two independent 250 W cutting motors. The standard cutting system has two razor blade discs, each fitted with six replaceable blades, for regular lawn maintenance. An optional rotary mulching blade is available for larger properties or tougher grass. The floating deck follows the ground contours, and the cutting height can be adjusted from 25 to 100 mm.

Testing found the lawn was cut cleanly without obvious missed areas. However, edging around walls, fences and garden beds still needs to be completed by hand. The app allows users to divide a property into mowing zones, set different cutting heights, mowing directions and schedules, and create no-go zones. Channels can also be configured for travel between separate lawn areas. A 4.3-inch colour display and physical control knob provide basic controls on the mower itself.

Noise, battery and ownership considerations

GOKO rates the standard razor disc mode at approximately 58 dB, increasing to around 64 dB with the rotary mulching blade. The standard 12 Ah battery is rated for approximately two hours of operation and up to 2,000 square metres of coverage per charge. A second battery can extend those figures to about four hours and 4,000 square metres per charge.

The M6 has completed its Kickstarter campaign and was available to order in Australia at the time of the video. Potential ongoing costs include replacement blades, an optional second battery and connectivity services if satellite RTK is used. The mower includes a 4G dongle, which requires payment after one year. Australian servicing, spare parts availability and long-term reliability are also areas that need to be demonstrated over time.

TechManPat’s conclusion

I found the GOKO M6 genuinely impressive after a couple of weeks of testing. For me, the standout feature is the independent front-wheel steering, because it addresses the problem of robotic mowers repeatedly damaging the same patch of grass during pivot turns. I also liked the build quality, suspension, four-wheel drive and flexibility of the two cutting systems. It is not perfect because manual edge trimming and additional ownership costs remain, but I think the M6 is worth considering for a large lawn or challenging terrain.
