Mayan The King of Mobility Scooters

Wait, hold on for a bit. This is no idle claim. This scooter is The King.

Gentlemen bow down and ladies curtsy for you are in the presence of The King. This is Mayan Scooter from Horizon Mobility. British made, and well respected in that part of the world for it’s stamina, fortitude, and no wimp approach to mobility.

The Mayan by Horizon wears the crown for a good reason- Nothing else even comes close to this machine.

This is a rugged vehicle that was made for use with no wimpy cop outs about speed and carrying capacity and range. It’s got it all, and more of it than any other mobility scooter around.

It’s designed for hard use and you can find Brits tooling around in these up on hills, out in fields, on the paths less traveled, towing their cargo behind or carting their groceries in back.

Here are a very few of the technical specs that helped earn Mayan the crown:

  • A 2400 watt motor with an opt up to 3000 watt.
  • Up to 2 x 110 amp/hr batteries with dependent range of 30 to 50 miles.
  • Up to 12 mph top end
  • Maximum user weight of 630lbs.
  • 6″ of ground clearance.

You can opt in to the Weather Cab (the Cab is really cool) for all weather cruising and a tow bracket with cargo trailer as well as an insulted rear mounted shopping cart. The manufacturer also offers an insurance plan with 24/7 roadside recovery assistance. There are many more options and upgrades.

You can get the full specs and option listing at Horizon’s website.

What do I like about the Mayan in general? Quite a few things actually but mostly it’s the concept and demeanor. The damn thing has attitude! Forget the specs and just look at it. You have to be really out of it if you can’t figure out what this machine is about.

I’m well played out on reading specs and looking at mobility scooters that try to cover the middle and leave the ends hanging out. To unwieldy to be easily used indoors and to wimpy to be a working vehicle or for hauling ass outdoors.

Rather than produce a scooter that attempts to be all things to all scooter users and fails to excel in any area, Horizon Mobility knew where they wanted to go with the Mayan and they went there. Kudos to them.
