  • The Honda Express NC50, also known as the Honda Express or Honda Urban Express, is a small, step-through moped that was manufactured by Honda from 1977 to 1983. It was designed for urban commuting and served as an affordable and efficient transportation option.
    Here are some key features and details about the Honda Express NC50:
    Engine: The Honda Express NC50 is powered by a 49cc, two-stroke, air-cooled engine. It is equipped with an automatic centrifugal clutch, which eliminates the need for manual shifting. The engine delivers around 1.5 horsepower, making it suitable for city riding.
    Fuel Efficiency: The Express NC50 was known for its excellent fuel efficiency. It could achieve a mileage of around 100 miles per gallon (42.5 kilometers per liter), which made it a cost-effective option for daily commuting.
    Design: The Honda Express features a step-through design, allowing riders to easily mount and dismount the moped. It has a compact and lightweight structure, making it maneuverable in crowded city streets and easy to park.
    Storage: The moped includes a front storage compartment where riders could store small items such as gloves, sunglasses, or documents. Some models also had rear racks that allowed for additional cargo carrying capacity.
    Speed and Performance: The top speed of the Honda Express NC50 is typically around 25-30 mph (40-48 km/h), which is suitable for short city trips. It is not designed for high-speed highways or long-distance travel.
    Suspension and Brakes: The Express NC50 features telescopic front forks and dual rear shocks, providing a relatively smooth ride over urban terrain. It is equipped with drum brakes on both the front and rear wheels, offering adequate stopping power.
    Variants: Over its production years, the Honda Express NC50 had different variations, including the NC50 Express, NC50 Express II, and NC50 Express Deluxe. While there were some minor differences in features and styling among these models, they shared similar mechanical components and the same overall design concept.
    The Honda Express NC50 gained popularity as an economical and practical mode of transportation, especially for short-distance commuting within urban areas. Its simplicity, reliability, and fuel efficiency made it a favorite among riders looking for a budget-friendly and easy-to-use vehicle. Although it has been discontinued, used Honda Express NC50 mopeds can still be found in the market today as collector's items or for nostalgic purposes.

    Glad you eventually got it going, I’ve had 3 of these over the years as projects and runners, my biggest and most common issue was always the carb, they would either run and cut out or run but then cut out or very little power and bogging down, the last one I had though a 1978 model ran very well.
    Good video, keep up the good work.

    the reeds are rarely an issue. I'd clean points while there. Exhaust could be clogged. I'm not at end of vid yet. and idle jet is hard to clean and often clogged.

    Hope you got it running. Wondering about the rest of the story. I got an 82 and no spark, no power to anything. PO had foil wrapped around the fuse? Trying to figure out what to do next if you have any ideas. Thanks!

    I used to zip around on my grandmother's old one of those when I was a kid. I destroyed it because I didn't no about the gearbox oil level and it ran dry and destroyed the drive train.

    Is the condenser a starter relay , right ? Because it helps the engine to start

    Of course you neglected to check the battery before you ran it and blew the headlight and related bulbs, right? Common mistake. On all ols mopeds, battery first! Its the voltage regulator for the alternater negative charge. Without it, the 6 volt bulbs see over 12 volts and blow right away..
