The Honda PA50 is a moped produced by Honda Benelux between 1976 and 1991. It was marketed as the Honda Hobbit in the US and as the Honda Camino in the UK and Europe. The vehicle was manufactured at Honda's first factory outside Japan, located in Aalst, Belgium, until 1991. Though it has mostly disappeared from the streets of the US and the UK like most mopeds of similar type (e.g. Motobecane, Mobylette, and Puch Maxi), it remains very popular in Belgium, where it is often modified using high performance parts.
