For Sale: 1966 Cushman Motorcycle in La Verne, California

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 are viewing this on Facebook Marketplace, be sure to visit our website to view all photos.
