When you are looking into the choices for your heavy duty mobility scooter or a personal mobility vehicle, it is impossible to overlook Pride Mobility Scooters. Pride is one of the largest manufacturers of mobility scooters in the world. Pride is also known for related products such as Pride Wheelchair Lifts and Pride Lift Chairs.
With well over two decades of successful history of customer satisfaction and innovation, Pride is a name to look up to when it comes to heavy duty mobility scooters and bariatric mobility scooters. We will review three model lines of Pride electronic scooters here, Pride Maxima, Pride Celebrity, and Pride Wrangler. Each of them addresses a different market segment for people requiring a heavy duty vehicle. Let us look at all three model lines separately.
Pride Maxima 3 Wheel Heavy Duty Mobility Scooters
While most of the heavy duty mobility scooters are designed for travel outdoors, as outdoor mobility scooters for use outside the house, Pride Maxima 3 Wheel affords the possibility of using a mobility scooter in your own home as well as outside. For people who need mobility both inside and outside, this versatility saves a lot of time, hassle and money. The Pride Maxima's design may even make buying an additional mobility scooter unnecessary. Pride Maxima 3 Wheel is designed for weight capacity up to 500 lbs.
The main reason for this versatility is its heavy duty design on one hand with its large wheels, strong engine and sturdy frame and seat design. On the other hand, the three-wheel construction enables you to navigate tight spaces within your home, such as kitchen, or a narrow hallway, and even make U turns there. The turning radius of about 50 in. makes such indoor turns possible thanks to the 3 wheel design. The turning radius is clearly not as small as the turning radius that can be achieved with a travel scooter, which can be around 30 in., but it is not that much more either. In addition, to enhance the stability which is reduced due to the three-wheel construction, Pride Maxima offers two front side helper wheels, one on each side.

Pride Celebrity
With the weight capacity of 400 lbs., Pride Celebrity is designed for a comfortable ride outside of the home, as much as 18 miles. Its comfort stems from both the powerful built-in suspension and a comfortable, reclining seat. The bumpers and scratch resistant coating make it a true warrior among the outdoor mobility scooters, unafraid of getting places you want to go, be it visiting friends and relatives, shopping, or going to see movies or just out on town to have a lunch. The extra ground clearance will help crossing obstacles such as uneven pavements, uneven road surfaces, bumps and the like. See more information on Celebrity Scooter here.
Wrangler
When compared to Maxima and Celebrity, Pride Wrangler can be considered a Jeep of the heavy duty mobility scooters or personal mobility vehicles. Its extra large tires and powerful dual engines allow it to navigate such "off road" terrains as grassy areas, or sand. It is really popular for golfing as well. With the Wrangler it becomes easier to run over obstacles in today's modern cities as well - a speed bump here and there, an unexpected pothole, or just uneven pavements on sidewalks.

Regardless of which model you ultimately choose as your heavy duty mobility scooter, or as an outdoor mobility scooter, the Pride quality and experience will accompany you. You will be able to enjoy your outings in every single one of these models, and they will serve you for a long long time if you treat them right.
