Although I "learned" on a couple of borrowed mini bikes, my first bike was a 1958 Cushman scooter. 3.5 hp and 45 miles an hr, all day long. Automatic with a built on generator.It had the better looking full body which is kind of rare. It was already an antique when my grandpa gave it to me in 1975. Still have it, although one of my Uncles "borrowed the motor to fix it" later on and then he sold it to someone. I'm gonna restore it someday.
