Cushman is a manufacturer of industrial, personal, and custom vehicles. Information technology is based in Augusta, Georgia, United States, and is endemic by Textron.

History [edit]

The Cushman scooter company started in 1903 in Lincoln, Nebraska, by Everett and Clinton Cushman. The company incorporated as Cushman Motor Works in 1913.^[1] Cushman began production of their iv-stroke Croaking engine in 1922.^[2]

Cushman produced engines for farm equipment, pumps, backyard mowers, and boats. Cushman began making Auto-Glide scooters in 1936 as a means to increase the auction of Husky engines during the Great Depression.^[three] Cushman scooters were widely used by the U.s. Armed Forces in Earth War II and as an alternative to automobiles before and after the state of war.

Ane famous Cushman was the model 53, a armed forces model from the World State of war II era. Designed to be dropped by parachute with Ground forces Airborne troops,^[4] it became known equally the Cushman Airborne. Other models were used on war machine bases for messenger service. The most successful model of Cushman scooter, the Eagle, was in production approximately 16 years. Information technology resembled a motorcycle with its exposed engine and summit tank. Other Cushman models, like the post-war "turtle dorsum" Model 50 and 60, or the economy Highlander, used a pace-through design common for scooters. The stride-through blueprint and ease of performance made it pop with men and women alike.

Some belatedly-1950s Cushmans, designated Road King and Pacemaker, had "jet-historic period" torso styling. Sears sold a version of these models nether the Allstate brand. Cushman scooters featured an automatic centrifugal clutch, which allowed the rider to twist the correct grip to accelerate. Oddly, the throttle twisted forward during acceleration, opposite the usual pattern in most other motorcycles and scooters. Cushman claimed 75 mpg_‑Us (iii.1 L/100 km; 90 mpg_‑imp), and advertised penny-a-mile operating cost. Cushman scooters usually weighed about 250 lb (110 kg) to 335 lb (152 kg) and had every bit much as 9 horsepower (half-dozen.vii kW). In comparing to European scooters, Cushman scooters had a higher weight, larger cubic chapters (up to 0.iv L), but not more ability.

In 1958, 15000 Scooters were produced by Cushman.^[five] Scooter production ended in 1965, merely some remaining Eagles were sold as 1966 models. After scooter product ceased, Cushman manufactured golf carts, industrial vehicles, and turf maintenance equipment. In Belgium there was a licence-production of Cushmann scooters under the label Belgian Cushman.

Cushman Trucksters were produced from 1952 to 2002. Small and light duty, they accept been used for water ice cream sales, mall and stadium maintenance, and by NYPD. Cushman became a division of the Outboard Marine Corporation in 1962. Ransomes (of Great britain) purchased Cushman in 1989, and so Textron purchased Ransomes.^[1]
