The “Indian Motocycle Co.” was founded as the Hendee Manufacturing Company by George M. Hendee and Carl Oscar Hedström. Both Hendee and Hedström were former bicycle racers who teamed up to produce a motorcycle with a 1.75 bhp, single cylinder engine in Hendee’s home town of Springfield. The bike was successful and sales increased dramatically during the next decade.
