Here’s the new ‘ped as promised. It’s a repainted 1978 Honda Hobbit PA50II. So far I haven’t had much time to play around but I did manage to put together a triple Cree Q5 headlight complete with 14.8V Li-Ion rechargeable battery (see bike light post elsewhere on this site). Sure is damn bright. I fixed both front and rear variators and did routine stuff like fix the sticky throttle grip and align body parts. Next step is to hotrod this baby with bigger cylinder, bigger carb, exhaust, etc. Should be fun, I’ve always liked mopeds.
EDIT: Since we moved out to the middle of nowhere-ville, this moped will probably be up for sale.
