1948 Indian Papoose

The vintage two-wheeler hails from 1948, originating in the heart of Texas, United States. It's a rarity indeed, a 1948 Indian Papoose, equipped with a punchy 98cc two-stroke single engine mated to a single-speed transmission, offering versatility through hand and foot clutches. Its design is characteristically retro, boasting fold-down handlebars, a classic Lycette solo saddle supported by a telescoping post, and a chrome tank-top luggage rack for practicality. The bike rolls on sturdy 8-inch steel wheels, starts with a kick starter, breathes through an Amal carburetor, and finishes with a distinctive fishtail muffler. Despite its age, it's been well-maintained, with distinctive features like the rear lift-assist handle adding to its vintage charm. This papoose of a bike is ready to carry you back in time on its American-made wheels.
