Their value and class can withstand any test of time. So when it comes to classic engineering and automotive styling there is nothing as classic as the Cushman Scooter.
It doesn’t matter what you are looking for, be it the wartime practicality of the Cushman Airborne or the rebellious Road King, the Cushman Scooter is a classic that is both unique and beautiful and will most definitely lend an air of class to anyone who rides it.
The scooter was first used only for military purposes, but the comfort, style and affordability of the Cushman Scooter couldn’t help filter down to the common man. In the thirty years that the Cushman Scooter was in production, there were a lot of changes that were made to it. Even though it changed in the aspect of style and design, it never lost its quality and class which makes it a favourite amongst enthusiasts till date.
Way before the advent of hydrogen cells and hybrid cars, motorists had to deal with very periodic fuel shortages. This was more so during the wars where any and all surplus domestic resources were sent to better the war effort. It was in this time of uncertainty that the Cushman Scooter was born. It was a sturdy and reliable vehicle that was tough enough to withstand being parachuted behind enemy lines but at the same time had the fuel economy to be a great alternative for a personal automobile.
In today’s tough times, the Cushman Scooter still has the same qualities that made it a favourite amongst the veterans of World War II. It is a vehicle that not only boasts of great fuel efficiency, but also one that has a lot of character, history as well as pride. The Cushman Scooter, whether used for personal transportation or just a collector’s item, is in a class all its own.
