Cushman built scooters for Sears. They sold them as Allstates. in the early and middle 50's there were two models, the 811.40 and the 811.30. That's the .40 on the left. It was called a DeLuxe and had four horsepower. The Standard, above, had 3 hp. The DeLuxe is popular with collectors because of the unique styling.

The Allstate Model 811.40 engine is 2-5/8" bore which is rated at 4.9 horsepower just like the Cushman Eagle commonly referred to as "5.0 horsepower". The larger 4.9 horsepower engine was used in the 811.40 due to the heavy weight of the body and frame.
