Mole developed the bike based on heavily modified children's bicycles that were becoming popular with pre-teens in Southern California, and which mimicked the appearance of customized "chopper" motorcycles. Bill & Co contacted Huffman with a concept for producing a bicycle based on a motorcycle, which he called the High Rise. Popular models produced during the heyday of the Huffy Corporation included the RadioBike® (one word), which had an electron-tube radio in the tank the Scout, a 10-speed road bicycle the Dragster, a so-called " wheelie bike" and the Sigma, a BMX bike.
Seven years later in 1960, Huffman was the third largest bike manufacturer in the United States. A few of the most popular models included the Special Roadster, the Racer, the LaFrance, and the Streamliner. īy 1953, a Huffy logo was created and Huffman switched all its bicycles to the Huffy brand. The company would eventually leave the market in 1975. The invention of the training wheels revolutionized the market for children's bicycles, and this was the first Huffman bicycle under the Huffy brand.Īlso in 1949, Huffy started selling push and riding mowers.
In 1949, Huffman developed the Huffy Convertible, which was a children's bicycle with rear training wheels and foot steps. Although Huffman dabbled in the high-end of the market, they never overcame their entry-level reputation. ĭuring the 1930s, Huffman participated in the revival of the American cycling industry, during which Horace Huffman commented on a "change of attitude". From then until 1949, Huffman continued to manufacture and sell bicycles under the "Dayton" brand. Huffman Sr., founded the Huffman Manufacturing Company. The Davis Sewing Machine company made their first Dayton bicycle, in Dayton, Ohio, in 1892. Huffman purchased the Davis Sewing Machine Company and in 1890 moved its sewing machine factory from Watertown, New York, to Dayton, Ohio.
The Huffy Corporation is a supplier of bicycles with headquarters in Dayton, Ohio, United States.
