The company also went by the name Pabatco, for Pacific Basin Trading Company. Its headquarters were in the rural town of Athena, Oregon. Pabatco was owned by Shell Oil Company from 1965 to 1978. The name Hodaka is rumored to have been borrowed from a mountain near the factory. After opening its doors in 1964, Hodaka is credited by some with starting the trail bike craze in the United States. Hodaka models included the Ace 90, Ace 100, Wombat, Combat Wombat, Super Combat, Super Rat, Dirt Squirt, Road Toad and Thunderdog.

In the late 1970s, a combination of events led to the demise of Hodaka. Falling US dollar exchange rates against the Japanese yen, a shift in demand from dirt bikes to larger road bikes, and general economic weakness fatally wounded the company. Hodaka attempted a purchase of Fuji Heavy Industries, the Japanese company which manufactured most Hodaka engines. Unfortunately the offer was not accepted. Around 1980, Hodaka ceased all operations. Its tooling was later sold to the Korean company Daelim.

**PLEASE NOTE: Motors with the letter “E” are Ace 100 or Ace 90 motors that went into Bonanza Hodakas . The Ace 100 ” E” motors would have also been used in Steen Hodakas or Rickman Hodaka’s. The letter “E” motors could have also been sold by your Hodaka dealer as a new complete motor without the bike. Motor letter ” F ” was the very early Ace100/MX ( Super Rat 93) motors. These were available in 1970 and the motors started with F-2257. Once production of the early Super Rat started the motor designation changed to “EM” as posted below. Motor letter “EM” replacement production early Super Rat ( 93) motor Motor letter “EH” replacement production Wombat ( 94 and 94A) motor Motor letter “EJ” repacement production Combat Wombat motor Motor letter “EK” replacement production Super Combat motor Motor letter “EL” replacement production Super Rat (98) motor There may be more replacement motor designations but we have yet to see them. If any more are found we will post them here.
