2-stroke moped, I think they have CVT too, pedal when out of gas, lots of hop-ups available, similar to an Express but with pedals. Overseas called Camino.
$50 and looks nice, if it were within 2 hours of Chicago, I'd be on the road to get it already.

Re: What's a Honda Hobbit?
Get it. $50? Phhhh! I would, even if it gets used for parts. People here keep mentioning look to see if it has the air filter housing, guess it's hard to find.
PA-50, True moped, has pedals.

Well. I e-mailed him about 30 mins after his post of course it turns out he had ALOT of responses. So the first person got it.
Oh well, the wife would've gotten mad at me for bringing home another project.

Re: What's a Honda Hobbit?
They are kinda slow and cheaply made
If the guy wasd selling it for $50 .....it was probably a POS

Re: What's a Honda Hobbit?
Hm-m-m, reading your comment about a Garelli top tank reminded me of a CL listing here in Atlanta I've been watching.

It's a bit of a mess, but a minimal offer might be in order.
How is the parts market?

Re: What's a Honda Hobbit?
Hobbits are nice! the paII is the one to get! pretty much the same thing as the honda camino. you tube honda camino all kinds of fast mopeds.
Re: What's a Honda Hobbit?
Hobbits are sweet, they are one of the few variated mopeds. I'd pay 200 or so for a non running one, more for a runner.
