Pedals and all it was free so I thought I might try to get it to run. Looks like a China copy Honda Hobbit?

I sold all my jets to bear. I would run an 85 anyway.

Please, keep us updated on this moped. :)
That is what it reminded me of right away (Honda Hobbit). :thumbwink:

...I've learned to appreciate mopeds since making friends who ride them. While riding motorcycles, I almost never saw them. Then transitioning to scooters, started noticing. Now, mopeds almost jump from the bushes and scream at me, "Hey, fatboy"...LIKE your Hobbitt clone, especially those awesome racks and buddy seat. Can you identify the manufacturer ?,...just curious...rock-on... :hi:

^^ ...that's because you were going too fast on your motorcycle! ;)
It's true though, you don't really see a particular make & model until you're exposed to it somehow (either you get one or someone you know has one) then you start noticing them. :surprise: :mrgreen:

Here's some pictures to translate. However, while I was poking around taking pictures I found a secret compartment with a hand written Title application. It says that it is a Chong Qing.
