You will probably have to check around and find a good mechanic where you are. Not sure what you mean by directory, but don’t know of any comprehensive source that would list every model year and all of the information about each year. Good idea though for a large group of owners. You might want to also join the Cushman group on YAHOO. They have a lot of information in past threads and cross reference guides for parts. <u></u><u></u></span></p>

The 2000 Cushman I had got about 35 mpg and I had it up to about 55mph over a long, long stretch of road. My wife and I used to ride in the Cushman together, but it was a tight squeeze and not something you would want to do for more than 30 minutes. Legal? Most cops don’t know what the thing is to start with. Since it is classified as a motorcycle, and you can ride two legally on a motorcycle . . . . <u></u><u></u></span></p>

We're also thinking of making a little coop of these vehicles that we share with our friends. Has anyone done anything like this before? Most of the Cushmans we've been looking at need some work, can you recommend a place that works on Cushman's? Also is there some sort of directory of all of the Cushmans made? I've noticed that many people selling them know very little about them (top speed, MPG, etc.), any buyer's hints? Also most I've seen are one-seaters, can you squeeze two people in comfortably? Is it legal?<u></u><u></u></p>
