There we go on a ride. This picture was taken at a scooter meet in Cochran, Georgia, probably in 2003. They have a special ride for step-thru Cushmans. Most step thru models have 4 or 5 horsepower, so they cruise comfortably at about 30 miles per hour. My Allstate has 4 hp and no transmission. The automatic clutch makes it easy to ride. Twist the handlebar to go and push the brake pedal to stop. That's all there is to it.
