The 1947 Cushman Series 65 is a remarkable piece of American motorcycling history, representing the post‑war scooter boom that made Cushman a household name. This example has been refurbished in an eye‑catching red finish with multi‑coloured flames, giving it a hot‑rod aesthetic that captures the spirit of the era.
Power is provided by the 17.8ci Husky four‑stroke single, an engine known for its reliability and distinctive character. The centrifugal clutch allows for effortless operation, while the two‑speed manual transmission is shifted with a hand lever — a unique feature that adds to the bike’s charm and collectability. The kick starter brings the engine to life, and the rear drum brake provides stopping power.
The black vinyl solo seat is complemented by a matching passenger pillion, allowing for two‑up riding. The rear trunk provides useful storage space for small items, making this scooter practical as well as stylish. The trailing‑link fork and rear suspension deliver a comfortable ride, while the chrome body guard and passenger grab handles add both protection and visual appeal.
The headlight and taillight ensure visibility in low‑light conditions, and the side stand provides convenient parking. This Cushman Series 65 is a true collector’s item, offering a glimpse into America’s motorcycling past. It is offered with a bonded Texas title and is perfect for display, collection, or classic scooter events.
