印地安電單車公司的前身——亨迪製造公司(英語:Hendee Manufacturing Company )成立於1901年,它是美國的第一家電單車製造公司。1923年起,亨迪製造公司更名為印地安電單車製造廠。1953年公司破產後,雖然歷經數度易手,然而生意卻都未見好轉。2011年公司被北極星工業 收購後一直運營至今。[ 1]
2013年8月,北極星公司宣佈發售三種全新的印地安電單車型號,分別是Chief Classic、Chief Vintage以及Chieftain。這三種型號都是在傳統印地安電單車的基礎上設計的。三種型號都搭載了Thunder Stroke V型雙氣缸發動機。這種發動機採用了三凸輪設計,中間的凸輪由鏈條驅動,而前後凸輪則採用齒輪驅動。這樣的設計使得推杆可以平行放置,從而在外觀上更接近老式的印地安電單車發動機的設計。發動機的冷卻方式為風冷,故從外表上可以看到發動機上大尺寸的散熱鰭片,以及嵌在鋁製壓鑄 框架中的空氣濾清器盒(英語:airbox )。[ 2] 無論前後軸距 大小以及前叉設計如何,所有配備了Thunder Stroke 111發動機的印地安電單車都有這樣的鋁製框架設計。集成式變速系統亦採用齒輪驅動。
