 After WW I the Indian factory decided it was time to market a somewhat lighter model than the 1000cc Powerplus.
(click in image) The new model was labelled "Scout" and it created a sensation when brought out in 1920. The strong points of the new design were easy handling, lightness, ample power for the 1920s roads and unbeatable reliability. The new middleweight was also appealing to the prospective motorcyclists who were put off by the usual heavyweight big twins.
The Scout features a semi-unit construction power plant with a 3 -speed transmission bolted on to it. Primary drive is by a set of helical gears that are enclosed in a cast aluminium cover and run in an oil bath. The clutch is foot-controlled. This Scout is nicely restored. The Beijing Company Hua De Feng Ying offers this vehicle for sale. Complete details can be found on their webpage www.elomnibus.com . The sales procedure is handled discreetly and qualified buyers may request a price by contacting enquiry@elomnibus.com. The vehicle is located in Europe and can be viewed by appointment only. » ask us  |
