Unfortunately for John, using the Force doesn't require using his hands. Granted, the visuals do help, but Maul would still be able to call upon his powers even if he had both hands lopped off. While weakening the muscles in his hands makes him drop his lightsaber, it doesn't stop Maul from still pulling the Emperor forward until he's right in front of him.
Maul holds him there for a moment, glaring at him. Not being able to use his hands make combat a bit more difficult but it's not impossible, especially given the natural rage within him. "Clever. Very clever. But not good enough," Maul growls. Then he leans forwards and bites down on the spot between the Emperor's neck and shoulder.
cw: graphic biting
