Indian Scout 101 as 3D large modell

The Indian Motocycle Company, until 1923 Hendee Manufacturing Company, founded in 1901 in Springfield, Massachusetts by George Mallory Hendee and Oscar Hedstrom, was the first manufacturer of series motorcycles in the USA and in the meantime the largest motorcycle manufacturer in the world.
Most of Indian's machines were motorcycles with large-displacement, side-valve, V-twin engines and chassis that allowed a comfortable, low seating position. Indian went bankrupt in 1953. In the following years there were numerous attempts to revive the brand, but without success. In 2011, Polaris Industries bought the trademark rights and resurrected the legendary brand.

But the Indian Scout and the Indian Chief have remained legendary.
The first Scout appeared in 1920, and the larger Chief model in 1923, which was built until 1953. On April 7, 1923, the 250,000th Indian was produced. From 1928, a drum brake was installed on the front wheel of all models.

In 1933 the changeover from loss lubrication and automatic drip oiler to dry sump lubrication took place; this made Indian engines long-distance capable years before other manufacturer. 1932 became the Junior Scout. In 1934 the Sport Scout was delivered with a trapezoidal fork, while the Indian Four was built with the Indian-typical leaf spring fork until production ceased in 1942 and the Chief until 1946. From 1935, a four-speed gearbox or a three-speed gearbox with reverse gear could be ordered as an option.

In 1940, Indian introduced straight-travel rear suspension on all models. The hand shift was only replaced by a foot shift in the military models (741/841) and the last Chief models (1950-1953). The last Chief also received a telescopic fork, the years before (1947-48) received a trapezoidal fork.

Scout and Chief models shaped the public image in the USA in the 1920s and 1930s; up to 70 percent of all motorcycle police officers in the United States rode Indians. According to Indian, the market share of models produced in the 1930s was:

52 percent for the Chief model,
35 percent for the 45ci Scout,
9 percent for the Four and
4 percent for the small Scout with 30.5 ci engine.

Our model shows the Indian Scout 101. The model was built from 1927 to 1937. It had a 744 cc (45 ci) V-twin engine with an output of approximately 18 hp. These brought the motorcycle to a top speed of approx. 110 to 120 km/h. And that with a weight of 168 kg.
