Maxima Mobility Scooter – A High-Quality Heavy-Duty Scooter

The Maxima Scooter is Pride Mobility’s entry in the heavy-duty medical mobility scooter market. The specifications that are most important in this market are of course the weight capacity and power of the scooter and also its stability and comfort. This scooter review will look first at the two available versions of the Maxima Mobility Scooter; either the 3 wheel or 4 wheel model. Four wheel models provide greater stability but have a larger turning radius and less leg room than three wheel models.

The next thing to discuss is the weight capacity of the Pride Maxima Scooter. At 500lbs you will be hard pressed to find a more heavy-duty scooter. Now there are a number of other scooters out there with 350-400lb weight capacities and you may think that will be sufficient. Just remember that if you plan to regularly use your scooter to transport heavy groceries or perhaps you require an oxygen tank at all all times, then this additional weight needs to be taken into consideration. A very nice feature of the Maxima is that it disassembles into 7 pieces making it one of the only heavy-duty scooters that can be transported fairly easily. The scooter is understandably heavy though at around 250lbs with the heaviest piece coming in at just over 70lbs.

As far as the design specifications of the Maxima Scooter are concerned, a few highlights are the new ergonomically enhanced 22” x 18.5” seating and a powerful heavy duty drive train capable of moving the scooter at speeds of up to 5.25mph. A popular option for this medical mobility scooter, both for its comfort and added convenience, is the power elevating seat. Two additional features that are worth mention are the full light package and the peace of mind that comes with flat free solid tires.

Finally, while the heavy-duty scooter market does have a few models capable of handling hills a little better or even achieving a slightly greater maximum speed, you also need to look at other factors such comfort, available options, and ultimately the quality workmanship that goes into every Pride Scooter.
