Cushman
Motor Scooters were built in Lincoln, Nebraska from 1936 until 1965 by
the Cushman Motor Works. Cushman had been in the engine business
since 1901 and began manufacturing scooters as a way to sell more
engines.
Cushman Scooters and the Cushman Husky engine were used at
military facilities during WW2. Cushman also made an Airborne
version for the military with a channel iron frame
that was designed to be
dropped by parachute.
The 50 Series Step Through Scooter was
introduced in 1946 and the improved 60 Series in 1949. The very
successful Cushman Eagle was introduced in 1950 and continued to the end
in 1965. Variations of the Eagle were the Super Eagle, the Silver Eagle,
and the Super Silver Eagle. Cushman made many other models of motor
scooters and Trucksters over the years. Since 1965 they have made only
specialty vehicles. See the
Cushman Time Line page for pictures
of all two-wheel models.
