Launched in 1977, in response to the oil crisis of 1973 the NC50 used a small fuel efficient air cooled two stroke engine, with automatic single speed and forced lubrication.
Small improvements were made over the model run including two speed transmission towards the end of it’s run, a capacitor discharge ignition system, manual choke replaced with an automatic type, a new kick start mechanism and indicators, with a larger battery to run them.
Collectors of moped’s, scooter hobbyists and enthusiasts of ‘Mini Honda’s have pushed prices remarkably high, particularly as these have a strong reputation for complete reliability.
This range of utility mopeds finally ceased production completely in 1984.
