Back in the sixties, Honda made two different models of Mopeds. Until this year, I've never owned any kind of Moped, so when I got a chance to pick up both models that were made in that decade, I jumped on it.
The first model Honda produced was called a P50, which was a motor wheel design. It is a four stroke, overhead camshaft, and only produced from 1966-1968.
My 1967 P50 is a project that I have yet to run, but have almost all the parts for now.
The luggage rack is actually the fuel tank.
Here's a closer look at the motor wheel, which I don't have the muffler installed at the time this picture was taken.
I am still looking for a battery cover.
Headlight housing is the same as the early Z50 mini trails. Has speedo but no odometer.
My other Honda moped is actually called "Little Honda" and is a model called a PC50. They were only imported to the USA in '69 until '70. After these models, Honda didn't import anymore mopeds to the US until 1978. It uses the same motor as the P50, but is mounted in the traditional location. This one is a real survivor and runs like new and is complete. My PC50 is a '69, as can easily be detected by the front fender reflector.:16:
Muffler opening is about the size of a #2 pencil:13:
Same headlight assembly, but now contains an odometer. It cruises really nice at about 25mph but tops out over 30mph.
Another unusual feature is the ignition switch is also the fork lock.
Well there you have it, the original "lil Honda's"
