A
Cushman motor scooter is the Holy Grail of the
scooter collecting industry. These famed scooters
hail from Nebraska, and the quality and
workmanship bespeak solid midwestern values. They
are so well-crafted that some of them were even
used in the second World War, including a
specially designed scooter that was made to be
parachuted to the ground.
Thanks to their sturdiness and durability, some of
these scooters, last produced in 1965, remain
extant today. These scooters are highly prized by
collectors. There are a number of groups today
that focus solely on the legacy of these classic
scooters.
So what about a scooter that you can actually use
in the new millennium? Well, today's scooters
might not have the cache of Cushman motor
scooters, but they do come with their own
advantages. Reliable gas scooters are still made
today in the Cushman tradition.
A new option, not available when Cushmans were
made, is the electric motor scooter. These
scooters run on rechargeable batteries, thus
saving you money you would have spent on gasoline.
These scooters come with the added benefit of
shielding the planet from yet more pollution.
