Cushman model 50 step thru was much better for a paper route as you could put the paper bag over the seat. And when I had to go into apartments just kick the stand down and with the centrifugal clutch let it idle. I have the Simplex and a Whizzer and if I get the Cushman all I will need is a 1948 Mustang.
