I had two Hobbits until about two years ago.  There's a good website www.mopedarmy.com that has a lot of Hobbit upgrade/performance stuff.  Some of the content in the Tech section was written by yours truly.

One truly unique thing about Hobbits - they are the only "bike" that I can think off that for a few hundred dollars - you can DOUBLE the stock speed!

You can easily get Hobbits well over 50 MPH if you want to.  My two were in the mid 40's went I went back to motorcycles.  I go into Hobbits for my son, who was 15, and in Nebraska, didn't need a license to ride.  One was for me, one for him - so we could ride together.

I miss my Hobbit - it was cool - for me.  I'm not saying that stock isn't OK, too.  Either way, it is a Honda!
