Vehicle Description
1966 Cushman Silver Eagle All original Mileage 1225 miles.
Automatic centrifugal clutch Buddy seat , 10 " rims Buddy pegs Kept
in climate control facility. The most successful model of Cushman
scooter, the Eagle, was in production approximately 16 years. It
resembled a motorcycle with its exposed engine and top tank. The
power plant for the Cushman Eagle is a marine-based OMC overhead
valve, air-cooled single cylinder. Its two-speed transmission puts
those nine ponies to work. The maximum speed of this scooter is
reportedly about 50 miles per hour. The suspension has telescopic
forks up front and a rear swing arm. The stopping power is provided
by drum brakes in both the front and rear. The 10-inch wheels come
standard with Cushman 100 tires. Cushman scooters featured a
throttle, which allowed the rider to twist the right grip to
accelerate. Oddly, the throttle twisted forward during
acceleration, opposite the usual pattern in most other motorcycles
and scooters. Cushman claimed 75 mpg, and advertised penny-a-mile
operating cost. Cushman scooters usually weighed about 250 lb to
335 lb and had as much as 9 horsepower. Scooter production ended in
1965, but some remaining Eagles were sold as 1966 models. ***If you
