MAYA PEDAL began in 1997, working with a group of Canadians from the organization “PEDAL”. Following a vision for sustainable development Maya Pedal became constituted under local control in 2001.
Maya Pedal is a Guatemalan NGO based in San Andrès Itzapa, in the highlands of central Guatemala. Maya Pedal receives bikes donated from the USA and Canada through “Bikes not Bombs” and “Working Bikes”. These bikes are either reconditioned to sell, or used to build a range of "Bicimaquinas" (pedal powered machines).
Maya Pedal makes water pumps, grinders, threshers, tile makers, nut shellers, blenders (for making soaps and shampoos as well as food products) and more.
