The Pride Mobility® Maxima SC901 3-Wheel Mobility Scooter is designed for users who need substantial weight capacity while still wanting responsive maneuverability and comfortable everyday operation.

With a 500 lb. maximum weight capacity, speeds up to 5.8 mph, and travel of up to 19.8 miles per charge, the Maxima is one of Pride Mobility’s strongest mobility scooter options. Its three-wheel platform provides a comparatively tight 49-inch turning radius, helping riders navigate corners and appropriate indoor spaces more easily than many larger heavy-duty scooters.

The standard seating system features a 22-inch-wide depth-adjustable high-back black vinyl seat with limited recline, a headrest, adjustable armrests, and swivel functionality to support easier transfers.

Pride also equips the Maxima with an infinite-position tiller adjustment, USB charging, a rearview mirror, seat belt, full LED lighting package, standard front basket, and durable front and side bumpers.

Heavy-Duty 500 lb. Capacity

The Maxima 3-Wheel is engineered for users who need greater support than a standard mobility scooter provides.

Pride rates the SC901 for a maximum user weight of 500 lbs., placing it in the Group 1 Very Heavy Duty category under HCPCS K0802. Its substantial frame and seating system are designed to provide dependable everyday mobility while accommodating a wider range of users.

Three-Wheel Maneuverability

Despite its heavy-duty construction, the Maxima maintains a relatively maneuverable 49-inch turning radius.

The three-wheel configuration can be beneficial when navigating tighter corners, shopping environments, hallways, medical facilities, and other appropriate spaces where a larger four-wheel heavy-duty scooter may require additional turning room.

Comfortable High-Back Seat

The Maxima includes a depth-adjustable high-back black vinyl seat measuring 22 inches wide with an adjustable 18-to-20-inch depth.

The seat provides limited recline and includes an adjustable headrest and armrests. Its swivel function can make getting on and off the scooter easier by allowing the rider to rotate sideways before transferring.

The generous seating dimensions are especially useful for riders who need more space than a typical midsize scooter seat provides.

Infinite-Position Tiller

The Maxima features an infinite-position tiller lever, allowing the steering column to be adjusted more precisely to suit the rider’s reach and preferred driving posture.

The delta-style wraparound handlebars offer multiple hand positions and can support comfortable one-handed operation for some users.

This adjustability can also create additional space when getting on or off the scooter.

User-Friendly Control Console

The Maxima’s tiller console places essential scooter controls within convenient reach.

The control area includes an ambient battery voltmeter, speed adjustment, horn, lighting controls, ignition switch, and directional-signal controls.

The clear, straightforward layout is designed to make everyday operation easier for seniors and other mobility scooter users.

Full LED Lighting Package

The Maxima comes standard with a full LED lighting package that includes front headlights, directional turn signals, and rear taillights.

These lights improve visibility in lower-light conditions and help make the scooter more noticeable to pedestrians and others nearby.

USB Mobile Device Charging

An integrated USB charging port is built into the tiller.

Compatible smartphones and other small electronic devices can be charged while the scooter is being used, helping riders stay connected during shopping trips, medical appointments, community activities, or longer outings.

Front and Side Bumpers

Pride equips the Maxima with durable front and side bumpers designed to help protect the scooter’s exterior shrouds from minor contact during normal use.

These bumpers add practical protection to a scooter built for regular heavy-duty mobility.

Solid Flat-Free Tires

The Maxima uses rugged solid, flat-free tires that eliminate the need to maintain pneumatic tire pressure.

Current specifications list:

Front: 3.6″ × 10.5″ solid
Rear: 3.6″ × 10.75″ solid

The flat-free construction reduces concerns about punctures and simplifies routine tire maintenance.

Batteries and Charging

The Maxima SC901 uses two 58Ah NF-22 deep-cycle batteries. Pride recommends AGM or gel-cell deep-cycle battery technology.

Each battery weighs approximately 36.5 lbs., although actual weight can vary by manufacturer.

A 5-amp off-board battery charger is used for routine charging, with an easy-access XLR charging connection located at the tiller.

Optional Power Elevating Seat

The Maxima can be configured with an optional power elevating seat, identified separately by Pride as the SC901-PES configuration.

The powered seat can provide approximately 6.25 inches of additional elevation, helping users reach higher surfaces such as countertops, cabinets, and other appropriate areas.

Product Specifications

Pride’s current live specifications confirm the 500 lb. capacity, 5.8 mph maximum speed, 49-inch turning radius, 47.5-inch length, 27-inch base width, 19.8-mile maximum range, and K0802 classification. Pride notes that specifications may vary within manufacturing and operating tolerances.

Medicare Coverage

HCPCS Code: K0802 – Power Operated Vehicle, Group 1 Very Heavy Duty

Pride Mobility identifies the Maxima 3-Wheel SC901 under HCPCS K0802. CMS defines K0802 as a Group 1 very heavy-duty power-operated vehicle intended for patient weight capacities from 451 through 600 lbs.

Medicare Part B may cover a medically necessary mobility scooter when applicable requirements are met. Medicare requires a face-to-face examination and written order from a treating provider, and the mobility device must address qualifying limitations affecting mobility-related activities within the home.

K0802 is currently subject to nationwide Medicare prior authorization. Coverage is not guaranteed simply because the scooter has an HCPCS code. Medical necessity, documentation, supplier participation, prior authorization, and Medicare’s final determination all apply.

After the Medicare Part B deductible is met, beneficiaries generally pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount when the supplier accepts assignment.
