MOPED OF THE DAY | Honda Hobbit PA50ii

Honda Hobbit Pa50ii Vintage Moped

Honda Hobbit PA50ii mopeds are another of my favorite mopeds. They are vintage mopeds with variated transmissions.  This Hobbit was built by iamplor (https://www.instagram.com/iamplor/), this is the build before undergoing its current transformation into a top tank.

One reason Hobbit mopeds are popular is because of the power potential of the engine.  The PA50II model has large transfers and “breathes” well.  Installing a performance exhaust and tuning the carburetor alone unlocks some of its power potentials.

      Some places I would start with is MopedDivision.com, Treatland.tv, or DosCycles.com. Dos Cycles has some used inventory too, so if they do not have the clutch and variator new they might have a good used one off of a parts bike.

    I am getting a yellow 1979 Honda Hobbit PA50 running, after decades in the shed. One question, do the lights work only with the engine running? I don’t see any battery location. Thanks!

      Hey Rick,

      Yes, the headlight and tail light work when the engine is running. Some Hobbit models have a battery, but that battery is to help power the blinkers.
