ABC Classic Motorcycles
The ABC Skootamota, designed by Granville Bradshaw, was the first scooter which allowed the passenger to sit, so it's considered the forerunner of the modern scooter.
It was well designed. The small wheels made it very stable. Its engine is positioned above the rear wheel, which it drives by chain, and the saddle and spacious footboard provide ample comfort for the rider. Of the various early scooters that came on the market around this time, the Skootamota was the best. It was comfortable and easy to ride. Its top speed is 15mph.
This first generation of scooters was initially marketed toward female riders. The
Skootamota ceased production in 1922. But the seeds were sewn ...after World War 2, its concept was revised and modernists have not looked back since.
