Indian Model O : ウィキペディア英語版 | Indian Model O
The Indian Model O was a lightweight motorcycle made by the Hendee Manufacturing Company from 1917 to 1919.〔〔 Indian expected to sell the Model O to young or thrifty riders. The United States' entry into World War I caused Indian to shift manufacture to military motorcycles, and the low cost of the Ford Model T caused the market for lightweight motorcycles to collapse. ==Concept and design==
The Model O was designed as an entry-level motorcycle to attract young riders.〔〔 It replaced the two-stroke single-cylinder Model K Featherweight, which was made in 1916 only.〔 In a layout similar to contemporary Douglas motorcycles from Great Britain, the Model O's flathead flat-twin engine was mounted with its cylinders along the line of the frame.〔〔 This added smooth operation to the Model K's existing light weight and practicality.〔〔 The Model O had a cradle frame supporting the engine at the bottom of the crankcase, while the gearbox was mounted under the frame, below the rear cylinder.〔〔 The rear wheel was rigidly mounted to a subframe bolted to the frame.〔〔 The front suspension was initially a pivoting fork used on the Indian Single from 1906 to 1910 and on the Model K Featherweight.〔〔 This was replaced during 1917 by a leaf-sprung trailing link fork.〔
