As a guy who has done 1840,3 km in 28 hours on a LX150, I understood what you was trying to transmit with your video. Have a long and healthy life good sir.
@@duive01 I didn't mean to achieve any record, I just wanted to do something that'd bring me back to my teenage years, that sort of thing you do when you are 16 and without thinking too much...so I rode all the way from central Italy to Landsberg am Lech in Germany, to visit Scootershop HQ. And the Vespa was so comfortable, I just kept riding lol
@mfriproduzionistoriche-2006 My 50cc LX is much more comfortable than my 2019 Vespa Sprint. On the LX my record is 13 hours, 519km. Maybe I should also try a 24 hour run sometime.
@@duive01 check the Iron Butt Association, they have a lot of exciting rides one can do! Like 1000 miles in one day, etc. There's also a whole section dedicated to scooters!
@duive01 Please put a tall windshield on your bike. You'll thank me later specially for your microphone. And also just bugs and the wind and buffeting. It changes the whole game like you're sitting in your house quiet
You are a STAR Sir, and a credit to the human race! Many many congratulations achieving so much on so little! Children should watch your work at school to appreciate, 'The Real World'!
Congratulations, I cannot believe you did such a huge trip with such mountains and hills on an LX 50. I used to have one, but upgraded to an LX 125. I would not have believed such a trip could be done even on the 125. It just shows what is possible. Journey looks amazing!
You Sir, are a LEGEND! This journey is my dream come true. :) Respect for doing it. Edwin, thanks for giving me the inspiration of driving through Morocco on a 50cc Scooter as well.
Kudos to your efforts for completing 5500 Km journey on 50cc Vespa scooter. As the saying goes "Great things come in small packages". Best wishes for the road ahead.
Good video production. Interesting content and great choice of acoustic guitar music. Well done! Looked like a lot of fun. All the photos of Morocco I had seen showed the modern and developed touristy side of the country. Your video showed me the real and authentic side of the country which is undeveloped. Very eye opening. Thanks for sharing your experience.
You're now one of my heroes. I want to wander the states on a Honda Metropolitan, you did it in the Sahara! So cool, thanks for the inspiration, this is what I was hoping to find on youtube about long slow scooter adventures. I'm glad they can't go super fast, I like 15-25 mph. Be well :)
A very excellent video. Great photos in a professional manner. You know how to take beautiful photos from different angles. All appreciation to you. We enjoyed your trip through the beautiful nature of Morocco, its kind people, and its delicious food. Thank you for this wonderful video
Amazing. Congratulations. I've ridden all over Marrocos many times over the years in many different motorcycles but the smallest was a 600cc Yamaha xt! This is amazing!
This is one video I will watch a few times because there is so much to take in. My one suggestion is to narrate at least some of this trip. I had that same felling you talk about, doing a trip like a teenager would dream about. That feeling I remember well when I got my first bike in Breda, Holland. Thank you so much for piecing this lengthy video and photos together, what a great job.
A very nice journey. Thank you for sharing it . Would have loved to see more of yourselves talking about your experiences and day to day time on the road. Good luck with everything.
Awsom, hipnotic, I could not stop watching till the end. Thanks for sharing Edwin. I live in Barcelona and try undertaking similar "easy going" motorbike trips around my country.
Wow, I am surprised that a bloody vespa 50cc made it that far ! Normally vespas are know for their ability to breakdown and never run properly, my hat is off to you sir !
I had to replace the starter motor just before entering Morocco. But at this moment my Vespa is almost dead. But that is because it is so hard to find a proper mechanic here. It has 78000km on the clock right now. I think the newer (4 stroke) Vespas are pretty reliable.
@duive01 it is only hard to find a proper mechanic because no one wants to work on vespas, the two stroke 150cc had a good motor but the electrical system was designed for smooth roads, soon as you started to hit a few potholes it would start to fall apart
@duive01 well buy yourself a workshop manual for you bike and do a few things on it yourself, you will quickly learn that nothing is easy access to any part of the bike, you have to take off other parts just to gain access to the area that you need, valve clearance access on you bike is a nightmare, replacing rings and piston is easier to remove the whole motor from the bike, even replacing the rollers and belt in the transmission you need to remove half of the plastic body to gain access
What a wonderful post, no talking, nice music, super nice video and yes as all the other comments say, i cant believe that you did that trip on a Vespa 50 cc 😅 the world's most unreliable bike.
Great adventure. Loved the mural on right side the best. Looked like old phone, use for GPS only? Loved the markets. Your night shots were beautiful. Some of the shots were so colorful. Loved the murals toward the end just before Tanger. Loved the Donkey...I carry a Panda 🤣 That was great but I felt sad when you got back on the ship. Wanted to continue. Thanks for sharing a splendid holiday.
I just watch this incredible trip everytime i miss hitting the road,am moroccan and i have seen these roads i know what it means to ride it by a vespa 50cc.always thinking about doing it with my lx 50 just a matter of time,thanks for the motivational video
Well appreciate this upload what a brilliant perspective you captured, some day I hope I can do the same before my final years end and thanks again from the bottom of my heart 💘😊
I'm really impressed with this inspiring video ! I really had to look twice because Marina Agadir is so similar to Puerto La Duquesa (Spain) .I have a group called Los lentos campo Gibraltar, which means the slow ones Gibraltar area and do trips with my Sym 125 (workhorse ). The trips are usually 350 km and that is more than plenty for my butt !! Wishing you all the best in life Sir.
Congratulations on completing your journey! It truly was an amazing adventure. This video is a testament to your hard work and determination. It's also a dream come true for me. Well done!
Hello! I also became the owner of a Vespa LX 50 2T, 2012, with a mileage of 300 km! I really liked the video! I also wanted to ride a moped across the vast expanses of Russia. They are not registered with us and insurance is not needed, there are no speed limits yet and you can remove the factory limiters for driving at 70-75 km/h. All the same, this is an honest 49 cc, and not like the Chinese mopeds that are sold here labeled 49 cc, but in fact 150 cc! Of course, it’s not very good to travel on a two-bike bike; the piston can jam from a long ride at one speed, but I hope the Hiper2 engine from Piaggio is more technologically advanced than, for example, old Soviet motorcycles with which I had constant problems during operation.
Great report! Belgium's farm roads have same amount of water on them after heavy rains. And some roads are just as bad... I was wondering if Vespa could make it...
sehr gut gemacht. Ich bin im Jahre 2017 mit einer Suzuki AP50 nach Zakynthos/Griechenland gefahren, zusammen mit meiner Frau, die eine Explorer Race 50 gefahren hat. War der tollste Urlaub.
Wie traag gaat , gaat ver . Ik heb zware motoren gehad maar eigelijk rij ik nog het liefst op een kleine 50cc scooter. Rustig reizen en tijd om rondt te kijken 👍 Fantastische video ❤
Film time 36:54 Im in Nirvana🎐Particularly beautiful! Big thanks & admiring appreciation. Im a big fan of Vespa.Owned a 50/4stroke & 150 LX.More smiles per mile then any other bike I've owned🎈Im following your site and will add remarks. Take good care & pack a spare 😉..petrol, spark plug, oil, gloves, & switch lights over to hi-viz . If you travel to California, drop me a line!
“If roads are blocked just follow the locals” 😄you could see the GPS a bit confused. I like how there is an eagle and a snake in the same square (i wish there was a video footage of the snake charmer in action) and glad the crash was not too serious. Amazing how you go on adventures with a 50cc. Fabulous videos you make, i like your channel. By the way, what’s the story behind the donkey on the vespa?
uauu watching this i got fealing i am missing quite a lot driving my lx50 only through the city. However, being 110kg it strugles in stiper hills but eventualy gets me where i want to go.
Beautiful scenery and so many different things. Thanks for sharing with us. Any mechanical issues with the scooter besides the battery? Such a long trip on a 50 cc is amazing. ❤thanks again
How awesome is that. Half a movie is behind me. What was your average speed? Edit: I've finished. What an adventure ;) I have 125 Aprilia and I am planning to have some 1-2 days trip in Poland this year. What maintenance have you done during the trip?
During the trip none. Just a normal checkup before the journey. During the journey I had a battery problem, low fluid in the battery, my own fault. The battery died at 10 meters from the repair shop.
it is incredible to see how with this little scooter you have covered such a great distance in absolutely demanding conditions and not suitable for the vespa and above all for its small engine. congratulations for your undertaking, and I hope that both you and your fantastic vespa are well... greetings from Italy, homeland of the vespa, Italian pride. I hope not but if you had any problems during the trip what were they? How much has your scooter consumed?
Thanks. My Vespa takes about 1L for 45km. Problems I had with the Vespa was only with the battery but that was my own fault. Just before taking the boat in Spain the starter motor had to be replaced.
Phenomenal, how did the little guy stand up, any repairs, and how many kilometres did you do on a tank of fuel? Beautiful scenery, thanks for the upload.
It does great but on steep hills it's going slow. Only repair I had was the battery, my own fault, not enough fluid in it. It can do 350+ km on a tank of fuel.
@@CrapKerouac what do you mean by edgy? Last year I went to Turkey from Holland on this bike. I've been to England, Wales and Scotland this year on a 125cc Vespa.
Grossen Respekt. Bin auch mit einem Roller alleine auf Reisen. Wie kamst du nach Südspanien und wieder zurück in die Niederlande? Hat der Tank immer ausgereicht? Liebe Grüße aus dem Allgäu. Tommy
My German is not so good so I answer in English. I drove from Holland to Spain (Benidorm area) in 2017 and parked my bike at a shop for the winter. In spring 2018 I went to Morocco. In fall 2018 I drove around Spain and Portugal. In spring 2019 I drove the Vespa to Holland again. In between I took a bus to and from home. This Vespa has an 8 litre tank so good for 350km. But also in Morocco you'll find fuel at least every 100km.
Hi. Such an awesome trip you have done Sir.. I just bought a used Piaggio fly 150cc. Residing in Singapore. I intend to do a few weeks tour on it too. But can you give me advise .? It’s an air cool engine. Should I let engine cool off every two hours of riding ?
hello there, im planning on my next adventure and wonder what items did you take with you as far as spare parts, maintenance parts etc? can you make a video on that?
Hello. Such a beautiful trip, very well filmed. Is that a 2-stroke Vespa? If so, how was it buying oil and how far apart were the petrol stations? Did you have a lot of spare parts with you and did you use them? I love Vespas, I drive a 25-year-old NRG 2-stroke.
I had shit experiences with my last 2 e-bikes. Planning to get a scooter next year, since I am poor, it will be 50cc. If it's good enough for Morrroco, it should be good enough for Quebec.
Get a scooter of Japanese or Taiwanese( Kymco, SYM, Genuine) brands for much better electric reliability. The occasional electric glitches of those beautiful Italian scooters would make you bald for dragging hairs off to figure not problems out.
Not difficult at all. I just had to fill in a form and show that at customs, just like you would with a motorcycle or car. No carnet needed and my insurance (from the Netherlands) covered Morocco.
Hello sir are there enough gasoline stations to get gasoline or you have reserve can? What was averige cosumpson ? How much did your trip costs you ? It seems nobody steel there. thanks for answers if it's posible. Wish you all the best and Greetings from Slovenia
Just before entering Morocco in Spain I had a defect starter motor. And in Morocco I had a problem with the battery, forget to fill it with battery water and because of that it lost its power. For the rest no problems. I have now almost 75,000 km on the clock!
@@paulbeemstra3017 Dan kun je nog even. Ik deed 10.000km met olie maar het is beter die om de 5.000km te verversen. Dan gaat ie nog langer mee waarschijnlijk.
Hi sir, im planning to do a trip like this myself. What GPS do you recommend to be used on the scooter? Just your phone? If so what app have you used for the GPS? Im stuck figuring all those things.
A little bit of French and English, once communicated by Google Translate in Arabic. Did not write a book. I you're thinking about doing this, just do it. It was so great.
@@duive01 hello again, I travelled into Morocco and at passport, the guy, asked ' Juliet ah where is Romeo', standing next to her, I replied silently, so I became her shadow and slipped into the country at Agadir then bused to Marrakesh. The country is beautiful, the people are gentle . The street food is delicious. All of this was an antidote to the busy,bicycle shop life I was living. It's a nice idea to go back and scooter,but you've got something extra, regards Dave h
My German is not so good so I'll answer in English. I also had fear of Panne. But the two times the bike really stopped working I was close to a garage. If you're in the middle of nowhere there will always be somebody who comes by and helps you. The dogs in Morocco were not aggressive. But I had one barking and running along. He was faster than my Vespa and when he was next to me he suddenly stopped chasing me without biting. They want to chase you more than bite you, I think.
I am a motorcycle mechanic in Australia and I can tell you that vespas are the most hated brand in Australia, they cant handle the heat, long distances, or high speeds, Honda postie bike are 125cc and are near unkillable, check out honda c90 adventures he rode one all over the world
I did ride 519km in one day with this 50cc Vespa so long distance is no problem. Personally for me Piaggio/Vespa seats are a lot better. In 2022 I did ride with this Vespa to Turkey and it was almost two weeks 35+ degrees Celsius so heat is not really a problem too. And high speed is not why one would buy a Vespa (or even a Honda 125cc). I agree however that Honda is a more reliable brand than Piaggio Vespa. But I don't know why you wrote this reaction. Do you want to sell me a Honda or something like that?
@@duive01 I don't have to sell you a honda, you stated that honda are so much more reliable than vespa, the Italians should stick to making pizza, pasta and wine and leave motorcycles to the Japanese. When you look at some other Italian brands like fiat ( which stands for Fix It Again Tony ) and the less we talk about alfa Romo the better, we can see that they are not worth a cup full of warm water and Ferrari are a mechanics worse nightmare, overrated and under engineered.
As a guy who has done 1840,3 km in 28 hours on a LX150, I understood what you was trying to transmit with your video. Have a long and healthy life good sir.

Hi. Such an awesome trip you have done Sir.. I just bought a used Piaggio fly 150cc. Residing in Singapore. I intend to do a few weeks tour on it too. But can you give me advise .? It’s an air cool engine. Should I let engine cool off every two hours of riding ?
Yes. And don't run on high rpm😊
Super....!!!
hello there, im planning on my next adventure and wonder what items did you take with you as far as spare parts, maintenance parts etc? can you make a video on that?
No spare parts, just some basic tools, that's all. The people there can fix everything.

wonderful movie! What month did you travel?
Thank you. It was March/April.
Hello. Such a beautiful trip, very well filmed. Is that a 2-stroke Vespa? If so, how was it buying oil and how far apart were the petrol stations? Did you have a lot of spare parts with you and did you use them? I love Vespas, I drive a 25-year-old NRG 2-stroke.
Where is the PCX ?It was a really nice Trip.. Aren t the Vespa Wheels too smal ? 12 inches Best regards Jürgen
Gone. Traded it in for a Vespa Sprint 125.
No the wheel are fine. Only on real rough terrain bigger wheels are a must.
Is it 2 stroke or 4
I have the 2stroke lx 50cc love it my main transport
4 stroke, only used for recreational rides. 78000km on the clock now.
I had shit experiences with my last 2 e-bikes. Planning to get a scooter next year, since I am poor, it will be 50cc. If it's good enough for Morrroco, it should be good enough for Quebec.
It is a quality scooter so must be ok. I get about 45 to 50 km on a litre of fuel.
Get a scooter of Japanese or Taiwanese( Kymco, SYM, Genuine) brands for much better electric reliability. The occasional electric glitches of those beautiful Italian scooters would make you bald for dragging hairs off to figure not problems out.
Never believe in the hype per e-bikes for "range" and " "environment-friendliness".
@darcychu9652 Vespa is pretty good. The battery problem I had was my own fault, I did not check it properly.
Great journey with such a small engine😎….. was it a 2 stroke or 4……
4 stroke engine
Great trip with navigation or you have a map?Sometimes you can drive wrong i think,so the trip is a little bit longer then
I use tracks on Osmand app on my phone. No navigation instructions but just follow the line on the digital map. Works great for me.
Very nice ! Moet ook durven hé . 😅
Very nice trip … how difficult was it to enter Morocco with a 50cc ? Did you need any papers , insurance, carnet de passage etc?
Not difficult at all. I just had to fill in a form and show that at customs, just like you would with a motorcycle or car. No carnet needed and my insurance (from the Netherlands) covered Morocco.
ЛАЙК !!! 😊👍
Who needs a GS !
Hello sir
are there enough gasoline stations to get gasoline or you have reserve can?
What was averige cosumpson ?
How much did your trip costs you ?
It seems nobody steel there.
thanks for answers if it's posible.
Wish you all the best and
Greetings from Slovenia
Yes, enough stations. My Vespa LX50 can do 350km so no need for a reserve can. Average consumption about 45km on 1 litre.
Post more videos plz
Why did they ride 50cc? Isn't it exhausting with 50cc? I watched with great pleasure.
No, the Vespa is very comfortable, I can ride it for 10 hours a day easy.
I'm glad you enjoyed watching the video.
Welcome in my country man i am from casablanca i just bought a vespa 50 cc 2 stroke do you think i can make it woth my new vespa primavera touring?
I have a 4 stroke so it is different. But I think your Vespa can do very well.
@duive01 do u think I can tour on my 400cc 2023 burgman up hills, it's fuel injection?
@@jasontomica8938 absolutely, 400cc must go uphill easy
@@duive01 Oh okay I just wanted to make sure thanks
How many issues did you have along the road? My 50cc vespa iget (2018) has 19000km and has had zero issues thus far.
Just before entering Morocco in Spain I had a defect starter motor. And in Morocco I had a problem with the battery, forget to fill it with battery water and because of that it lost its power.
For the rest no problems.
I have now almost 75,000 km on the clock!
@@duive01 Met deze Vespa LX zonder enige revisie?
@@paulbeemstra3017 ja inderdaad. Naderhand bij 50.000km wel revisie gehad. Staat nu op 74.000km.
@@duive01 Begrijpelijk,ik heb dezelfde scooter met +22000 erop dus vandaar mijn vraag.
@@paulbeemstra3017 Dan kun je nog even. Ik deed 10.000km met olie maar het is beter die om de 5.000km te verversen. Dan gaat ie nog langer mee waarschijnlijk.
would it be possible to make such a trip on a modern vespa 50 cc 4 stroke? or are they too weak?
and in my country they are also restricted to 45kmh
Yes, it would be possible. I don't think they are weaker than my older 50cc 4 stroke Vespa LX.
@@duive01 yes yours have a bit more HP. they are 3 HP now. can you ride a bike like this in mountains?
@@annashealthylifeeverything8583 most of the time no problem but with very steep hills you go very very slow
@@duive01 may I ask how slowly? like 20?
Hi sir, im planning to do a trip like this myself. What GPS do you recommend to be used on the scooter? Just your phone? If so what app have you used for the GPS? Im stuck figuring all those things.
I use Osmand on my phone
@@duive01 I see, thank you I'm trying to use it but it keeps crashing on me when planning my route
@NecrolydeTV I use tracks in Osmand
Great scenes and scenery but a commentary would have made this 10 x better
I'm sorry but commentary is not my style (yet)
Hello, did you speak French or Moroccan to do all this? 50c.c have you wrote a book. Regards from uk
A little bit of French and English, once communicated by Google Translate in Arabic.
Did not write a book.
I you're thinking about doing this, just do it. It was so great.
@@duive01 hello again, I travelled into Morocco and at passport, the guy, asked ' Juliet ah where is Romeo', standing next to her, I replied silently, so I became her shadow and slipped into the country at Agadir then bused to Marrakesh.
The country is beautiful, the people are gentle . The street food is delicious.
All of this was an antidote to the busy,bicycle shop life I was living.
It's a nice idea to go back and scooter,but you've got something extra, regards Dave h
Sir, in which month did you this adventure?
March and April
Goe gedaan jonguh, en da op un Italiaanse fiets!
Koop gewoon een betrouwbare Honda, vriend.😏
Daar denk ik idd aan. De Vespa is versleten nu, na 78000km

Whats the top speed of your Vespa?
About 55km/h
Respekt ich hätter immer Angst vor einer Panne oder Hunden.
My German is not so good so I'll answer in English. I also had fear of Panne. But the two times the bike really stopped working I was close to a garage. If you're in the middle of nowhere there will always be somebody who comes by and helps you.
The dogs in Morocco were not aggressive. But I had one barking and running along. He was faster than my Vespa and when he was next to me he suddenly stopped chasing me without biting. They want to chase you more than bite you, I think.
@@duive01 thank you all the best.
👏👏👏👍👊❤️🙏🍾

Bravo ! I have Vespa LX50 2T graffite black, you are amazing !
Thank you.
2 stroke is the way to go
@@fintonmainz7845 2 strokes are crap compared to a modern 4 stroke, especially for long distance touring.
I am a motorcycle mechanic in Australia and I can tell you that vespas are the most hated brand in Australia, they cant handle the heat, long distances, or high speeds, Honda postie bike are 125cc and are near unkillable, check out honda c90 adventures he rode one all over the world
I did ride 519km in one day with this 50cc Vespa so long distance is no problem. Personally for me Piaggio/Vespa seats are a lot better.
In 2022 I did ride with this Vespa to Turkey and it was almost two weeks 35+ degrees Celsius so heat is not really a problem too.
And high speed is not why one would buy a Vespa (or even a Honda 125cc).
I agree however that Honda is a more reliable brand than Piaggio Vespa.
But I don't know why you wrote this reaction. Do you want to sell me a Honda or something like that?
@@duive01 I don't have to sell you a honda, you stated that honda are so much more reliable than vespa, the Italians should stick to making pizza, pasta and wine and leave motorcycles to the Japanese. When you look at some other Italian brands like fiat ( which stands for Fix It Again Tony ) and the less we talk about alfa Romo the better, we can see that they are not worth a cup full of warm water and Ferrari are a mechanics worse nightmare, overrated and under engineered.
