1978 Honda Hobbit PA50II Moped"I restored this classic for my daughter, I invested over $2,000.00 into this beauty and spared no expense as my child was going to own it, we changed gears and decided to keep her off-road only on a honda xr 100 so it will be sold now at auction; my loss your gain!" Ken Kaplan, Sr. A 100% original condition survivor, a very fun Belgium manufactured machine, that remains very popular today. It is extremely rare to see this collectable in the US or UK today. It has a 50cc engine and can reach a top speed of 30 MPH. It has 973 original miles! It is extremely clean! All of the original graphics are present and are in great shape. This Hobbit is the only museum quality, all original, PA50II currently available for sale on eBay.
