Breaking away from the soft curves that defined earlier Cushman scooter bodies, the Road King adopted a more boxy style and smart angular front fender cut lines when it debuted in 1957. Looking almost like a cafeteria soda dispenser on wheels, the Road King is a radical departure that sets it apart from the rest. This restored 1960 Cushman Road King is complete and ready to ride and retains its original metal Road King emblems. The heavy-duty double-clasp handlebar goose necks resist metal fatigue versus earlier single clamp designs. Powered by cast-iron single cylinder Husky engine with dynamo to power head and tail lamps. The chromed rims and striking red and white two tone paint will attract attention every time you ride.
