Cushman 30 Series Scooters

Cushman Motor Works manufactured the 30 Series scooters from late 1943 through the end of World War II in 1945. The Model 32 had a centrifugal clutch while the Model 34 had a two speed transmission and clutch. These scooters were commonly used during WW II for messengers and for internal transportation in large naval bases and industrial plants.
