@tinkerrbill my great grandad did alot of things but never got credit, he would make machines that were before his time, so he would sell them and ten years later some company would start using his idea,
like the truckster, cushman was using trucks with one wheel in the back and two in the front and they had to go slow or they would tip over so he went home and spent a few days in his shop and what came out of his shop ended up in the cushman warehouse, and eventually on the production line.
brings back some fond memories for sure, I have had several cushman trucksters, finally got a 4 wheeled van body much more stable than the old 3 wheel design.
I have a newer 4 wheeled one and yes they are street legal, they are classified as a motorcycle so you must have a licence and plates. Really a blast to drive. This one is alot smaller than mine but i think they are the same as far as licencing goes.
@AngelaDavisMc yes in the us it can be registered as a motorcycle and pay only $100 / month but there is no point unless it goes fast mine goes almost 70mph its got a 440cc snowmobile engine but mine is the one with a steering wheel and a cab
@foxxentertainmentvid WTF are you talking about $100 a month? Where the hell do you live that you have to pay $100 a month to ride a motorcycle? And even if it goes under 70mph, why is there no point in riding? It would be plenty fast enough in most city traffic.
@7188181 1. anywhere in the united states its around $100 a month and 2. most streets here have a minimum of 45mph I was talking about if you want to ride it on the freeway
should put a lil trailer hitch on it

@722wdblazer,
Well, somebody had to do it! Your last name would be Cushman unless you are talking about your maternal grandfather ;-) Popular rigs!

That is not a Wisconsin engine. Cushman built their own engines

I love it! We have one of these in the garage that hasn't moved in years. Are they street legal?
AngelaDavisMc 3 years ago
That I don't know. I figure they used to be. With turn signals, horn, brake lights, high low beams. They might have been.
