Little Honda


1966 Little Honda P25 ad from Japan.
It has got nothing to do with the song by Beach boys. As you see, this 2 wheeler was marketed toward mostly women. The motor was mounted inside of its rear wheel. You start the motor by pushing a lever on left handle bar and pedaling. 4 stroke, 49cc single cylinder OHC. Leading bottom link shocks on front, Rigid on rear. Top speed was about 18mph. If you got legs, you can pedal home even if you are out of gas. It was replaced with PC50 in 1969, and motor was installed toward front. The turn signals, and rear shocks were added. Also better top speed though it was still 49cc single. I would buy one if I find it. Even if it is a non runner. You can still use it as a bicycle.

By the way, This is our 666th post. Yey!
