The Freerider Mayfair is a distinctly styled and highly popular mid-sized 4mph pavement scooter that appeals to a wide range of users, thanks to its exceptionally easy driving style. It effortlessly navigates pavements, pathways, and passages, offering an intuitive and comfortable experience akin to driving a handy little hatchback. This Class 2 scooter embodies the philosophy that “small is beautiful,” being shorter, lighter, and steadier than its road-legal cousins, yet proving no less pleasurable to drive; its easy handling means 4mph is truly all the speed you need for local adventures.
Despite its compact nature, the Mayfair truly embodies “small is strong.” Capable of carrying an impressive user weight of up to 21 stone (132kg), it may appear slight, but it certainly packs a mighty punch in terms of strength and durability. A fully adjustable Captain’s seat comes as standard, ensuring that every user can find a perfectly comfy and supportive driving position tailored to their needs. This deluxe seat offers comprehensive forward, back, and height adjustments, further enhancing overall comfort. Many newer versions of the 4mph Mayfair also include full suspension and 10-inch pneumatic tyres (often with puncture protection) for an even smoother ride.
