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.

The PA50I was sold in states where moped speeds could not exceed 20 mph(32 km/h).

The Honda PA50I was discontinued in 1980, with the only model available being the PA50II; and because of this, some consider this bike somewhat rare, since they were only made in the United States for 2 years (1978–1979).

The main way Honda accomplished the speed difference was not in the engine's displacement, but in the fuel supply and carburetor.

The air intake holes leading into the filter are smaller, as well as the exhaust size.
